Following the advice of this video - I decided to salvage my 5 year old Brother Scanner/Printer...and with the available leftover parts was amazed that I was able to build a full size Millennium Falcon type starship with Quantum Drive & Triple Time Warp Shields...am testing it this weekend to see if I can breach the edge of this galaxy, and further proceed onto the more remote Andromeda Galaxy. Should be back before next weekend with luck...thanks to the poster of this video... :)
Another great thing to look for is the WiFi circuit. It usually has 4 wires, and can be reused as a USB WiFi dongle. (Positive, Negative, Data Positive, Data Negative)
@@christiancabrera9495 I've taken them off & used them with an old Raspberry Pi. There's just 4 wires, and it took some trial & error to figure out what wire was what, but it just showed up as a generic USB wifi dongle when I wired it into a USB
The Part at the end , the small lens can be attached to the rear camera of a smartphone, and help in doing really micro photography of some insects,fabric textures and materials.
10 years ago I salvaged parts from dozens of printers, scanners at my work. I felt like a child with new toys. All parts are now in few boxes. But there is no time to play with the parts and there is serious destiny to throw boxes into bin to tidy a working place. When I was a child, I like playing with electronics. These boxes should made me Christmas of all Christmases :-)
Your videos are really well produced. That is why I became a Patron. Also, your perfect (well almost perfect) English and your very German attention to detail both amuses and delights me. Please keep them coming and please accept another vote for the follow up to this video.
Done many of these myself. A couple of times I've dismantled all the messy stuff under running water in the sink to get the pump and tubes. Maybe I'll use them in a little water feature at some point. Superb video as always, love the precision and detail. Always admire your command of the English language. Looking forward to part 2.
This is one helluva fun hobby. I live in a slice of suburbia full of those who will throw out pretty much anything even slightly broken, and twice a year a vast crop of (often fully functional) goodies grows upon the verges for the bi-annual council waste harvest. Most of the time I won't be able to reuse most of it, but it's really fun prodding round the internals, and sometimes there's a treasure trove of useful stuff. Oh god, i'm turning into a hoarder...
I used to live in a town with a white appliance recycle bin. I would stop on the way home when I needed a part,go down into the bin and salvage all kinds of parts for our washer and dryer. All the while wearing a tie and jacket. After twenty years, my wife grew to hate that recycle bin. She got a new set of washer and dryer when we moved. Now I don't dare salvage. At least, not since she started reading murder mysteries, the more gruesome the better.
I am so happy that the internet exists. Whenever I start questioning whether I have an unhealthy obsession, it shows me fellow "enthusiasts" who are doing the same exact things. 😁
A hoarder?!? No, no! You're recycling. I've been doing it for decades. The difference between the two is how well you organize and store it. NO STACKING!!! You'll never come back.
Finally someone else knows how to properly use an HP printer. If you'd go to your local hardware store they sell specialty tools that will help you greatly taking apart the printer at a much quicker pace. Once home take that hammer (I meant Specialty Tool) and if correctly using your new tool you'll have that printer opened and separated within seconds. Good luck!
I have a piece of glass from a scanner that I use to protect my bench from heat while soldering. I added some of those sticky rubber feet though so it wont scratch the bench.
Great video. Another vote for part two! Also could you talk about how to use the motors, gears, belt and rail to help motorized a camera slider. My electronics knowledge is a newbie level but I am wanting to learn more. Thanks again!
Your video is very welcome and enjoyable to watch. I have been dis-assembling printers for parts for many years, however, I would welcome suggestions for what to do with the parts beyond the basic components that I've used to repair other equipment. I do hope you continue with this series soon. Your other videos are also very interesting and I subscribed a while ago due to the high quality and clear explanations you give. Thank you for creating and posting excellent content. Regards, Tom.
Great video, thanks for posting. I had this very printer and my planned salvage was much easier thanks to you. Please post your part two follow up so we can see how to utilize some of these great parts, I know there must be many more like me who are eager to see it!!
Excellent video quality - congratulations. The plastic encoder strip can be made into a good quality Ronchi tester for your telescope. Cut the strip into 1 cm pieces and mount in a cap in the end of an eyepiece-sized tube. When focused on a star, you should see straight lines, same inside and outside focus. any bending of lines, or difference between inside and outside focus indicates a defect.
Number ONE- I LOVE your videos!!!! I am just starting to "learn electronics", with a bit of help from a friend, and a LOT of self-study and experimenting. Being of Scott descent, I usually save as many "things" that I can imagine might be useful in the future- I hate to waste anything! So I'm now scrapping lots of modern computer-derived stuff. #2- no offense, I like it- but, OMG, your voice is exactly like "Dr. Strangelove"! :) Keep-up the educational videos- and take care! Valerie
Wow, neatly done. My printer salvages looks like the battle of the Somme. The parts in these machines are truly a delight to grab :) One thing I would really like is to see a video on different ways of changing or adapting the gear/head of the motor shafts. These are usually really stuck on there, and they might not always be suitable for your projects. Maybe some good ideas of how to fit adaptors or something on top of the existing cogs, or replacing them completely
It seems like when I have an idea for a project, I end up buying most of what I need and I'm only able to reuse just a few salvaged parts that I have on hand. OTOH, when one has a bunch of parts available, it's more like a solution looking for a problem. What I mean by that is you have to look at the parts, and think of the things you could make from them. It's a bottom up rather than a top down mindset.
Whilst watching this I decided to subscribe for more like this. I have a multi function printer just waiting for the harvest. Like you, I see the potential for using parts of what would otherwise be junk. Thanks so much.
That little lens in the scanner is awesome. With a little screwdriver or pick. Take the top lens out. Then sandwiched in the middle is another thick lens. Take this out. Find a hollow tube the same od and cut it to the same length as the center lens. Put the top lens back on. Now you have an extremely powerful Lupe or hand held microscope. You have to put the thing against your eye almost and the objects you're inspecting close to the lens. It's the coolest.
Have you ever finished the "part 2" that you refer to in the video? I would like to see what you have done with the components that you salvaged... Thank for the great videos you make
now lets see you put it all back together again! Seriously thats an interesting teardown, I have an old Epsom PSC gathering dust and also need an axle for a project. I think you have sealed its fate!
I'm building a 3d printer and thought about getting the linear rods from a printer. I didn't even think about all the other goodies. I have now amassed a collection of old printer in my basement...much to my wife's dismay. lol
I am going to look for part two now, this is something I have been looking for as I have an old printer and another printer scanner that are too good to just throw out. I hope to be able to make a small CNC Engraver from these parts, also a rotary encoder may be able to be adapted to a lathe (Manual) for speed, indexing and thread cutting operations if I can work out the wizadry to make it all work. I know I am late finding this video, however thanks for the upload and you now have another Subscriber. Cheers from John, Australia.
Hey. Thank you for your kind words. I started to make a part 2 a couple of month ago.That video would have been even much more interesting, but I never finished it because this video seemd to spawn very little interest among my viewers. At the moment I'm fully enganged in making my latest episode about switched mode power supplies. But now that I hear at least some positive feedback on this one, I'm thinking about finishing part 2 after all :)
I have taken apart many printers and scanners and made some videos, But I think you do it much better. I have subscribed to your channel so when part 2 is up I will post it to plus.google.com/u/0/communities/105266405842890740625 Components & Integrated Circuits Over time I will be sharing some of your other videos there. If you join you will be very welcome.
The Post Apocalyptic Inventor I hope you do finish this series, printers and scanners are thrown out so often, and it's always a crapshoot trying to use them for their original purpose.
Breaking down stuff like this is how I sourced all my parts for various projects. I've yet to use the stepper motors really but am planning a few projects. Some to do with alternative energy.
Great video, I have two of these and one that is their big brother lying around. It would be nice to see how you use the stepper motor if part 2 is ever done.
Great video... was looking for something like this but for my printer... but atleast I have some idea whats where and what to do and look for.. I am really waiting for your part 2 video and see what you do with the salvaged parts as you said..
Would love a part 2 as I started disassembling the exact same printer/scanner combo. I am planning on making a laser cutter with the rail + stepper inside for X axis (combined with another one from another scanner for the Y axis, as it is a laser cutter, I will use a servo for Z axisfocus control). Looking forward to a follow up video!
I know it's been like 6 years or so, but any chance on a video showing how to use these parts? I have a very old Canon MX712 all in one (fax, scanner, printer with an area for inserting micro SD cards) that finally needed to be replaced. Print heads clogged beyond repair, (I've tried) and the scanner is scanning with lines through it. I am not a prepper, but I am an artist/maker, and LOVE making new things, or using parts from what others may call junk. I hate planned obsolescence, and filling the junk yard with perfectly good stuff! So thank you very much for taking the time to make your videos!! I have subscribed.
All that electronic stuff is swell and all, but beyond this old woodworker. On the other hand, I'll bet the glass is really flat on both sides, and therefore a good candidate for use in the scary sharp sharpening system. I wonder if they use float glass for copiers.
Wow, wish I had found your video on this earlier. I broke down a HP printer like this last week and just threw away some of the parts that you managed to salvage. Great video! Is there a follow-up video yet?
It's interesting that I just happened to run across this video. I scrapped out a whole pile of flatbed scanners a while ago. And I have a whole mess of dot matrix printers to deal with yet... I'll be interested in seeing what uses you might find for some of this stuff.
Good joob, a lot of useful parts can be reusued or sold/donated ! I have done that with a lot of photocopiers and there a lot of steal and complex componentes can be reused ! Way 7 users have dislike so fare this video, i can not imagine why !!! Habst du auch videos wo du deutsch sprichst ? Hann auch deutsch bisschen sprechen ! Alles gute !
Thanks. I _was_ going to go all office space on my printer when my printer finally got on my last nerve, but I think I've got a better idea now. Salvage it for parts. Ahahaha disposable printers, yeah. Exactly.
Yes, I use to do this kind of scavenging. I still have a big box a printer, computer, stepper motors, optics, even old VCR and camera parts.But now, I think just gonna throw them out or sell it on ebay as a grab bag, no more interest left!It can be great for some one learning electronics or engineering, 'cause try to buy all these at radio shack can add up and expensive!
Yk Tam: Yes, he is very good; but as for the way my scanner and the flatbed printer is not working coupled with the irascibility which I feel -- I would be the High Priest of disassembly!
Fantastic! Most informative yet beyond my knowledge so very interesting! I love to get answers to questions unasked. “Some force might be required “ ! Love it! Isn’t there something you shouldn’t look at like the source that feeds the mirrors? Please educate me.
I once took apart an old scanner from the late 1990's. Needless to say it was big. It had 2 round neo magnets inside. Don't modern scanners use magnets anymore?I recently found a canon 3 in 1 machine. High quality motors but no magnets.

The scanner lens on the HP deskjet 6110 is glued in. Too bad, it might make a good peephole if I could get my eye close to it. I'm working on building a weak little CNC machine out of a 6110
Still no Part 2? With 3D printing taking off, the scanner glass has good potential for use on the hot bed. Today just salvaged two. Very carefully heated the glue with a hot air gun to separate the plastic frame.
So, what did you use the power supply for? I could not find a video showing the new use for one. I have about 72 old printer scanners which peaked my interest in this video.
I have dismantled a total of four printers, and all the parts are sitting in a box. Can you please do a video on driving the motors, and how to determine the voltage that they require, and maybe hooking up that photo interuptor?
if we programming the heads of printers of dotmatrix printers then we can easily produced piezoelectricity by using it and piezoelectricity crystal so large number of electron generators produce and thorium are not used for electron generator in microwave oven since radioactive elements are not healthy

Well you need to update us on how it went..
Yes you do
Another great thing to look for is the WiFi circuit. It usually has 4 wires, and can be reused as a USB WiFi dongle. (Positive, Negative, Data Positive, Data Negative)
Don't they have a specific/proprietary firmware flashed into them?
How would you re-wrtie/flash so it can be used a generic Wifi device?

Boy.... This is highly technical stuff!! Much more technical than I have ever expected!!
Well done!!
The Part at the end , the small lens can be attached to the rear camera of a smartphone, and help in doing really micro photography of some insects,fabric textures and materials.
Yeah but you have to find a bigger lens and attach it because its need to bend the light to make function
@@catthecommentbothunter6890 most work relatively well on their own. They are macro lenses with a wider than usual view angle.
@@SoftBreadSoft yeah
Damn that's pretty cool
How can we remove it without breaking it?

Well done video of the tear down. I'm looking forward to seeing how you may reuse those parts.
nearly 300,000 views and over 2000 likes!! What more does this guy need to prove there's enough interest for a part 2?
Breaking down stuff like this is how I sourced all my parts for various projects. I've yet to use the stepper motors really but am planning a few projects. Some to do with alternative energy.
i also do the same scraping from old circuit boards before sending them for recycle love from India
Great video, I have two of these and one that is their big brother lying around.

It must be hell to put this back together even if being given all new parts.
I just watched some other of your videos. Scratch that voice thing. :) In the other one you seemed 150% more enthusiastic. Subscribed!
I did this too, but without the gloves on and would up with black fingers! Now recommend gloves everytime.
your video inspired me to make robots out of recycled printer parts.
One more use from these printer is to salvage the whole linear motion systems and use it in cnc plotter or laser engraving
All that electronic stuff is swell and all, but beyond this old woodworker. On the other hand, I'll bet the glass is really flat on both sides, and therefore a good candidate for use in the scary sharp sharpening system. I wonder if they use float glass for copiers.

Please make More of these types of videos having to do with salvaging Components thank you
3d printers, cnc machines can be made using printer parts.
Good, waiting for another video...
Where is part two? Awesome video!
WE NEED PART 2 LOL !!!
Very Clever. Well done
yes in need of part two dude
I once took apart an old scanner from the late 1990's. Needless to say it was big. It had 2 round neo magnets inside. Don't modern scanners use magnets anymore?I recently found a canon 3 in 1 machine. High quality motors but no magnets.
yaaa so fun to salvage techno and sometime other interesting objects
Knipex and Wera! Good man!
Knipex are awesome tools.
I switched from all Klien to all Knipex
De ce nu subtitrati si in limba Romana sau in toate dialectele ! ? E pacat, aveti postari interesante , si nu inteleg majoritatea cuvintelor, fapt care la un documentar al dvs de 10-20 min i-mi ia cam o ora ca sa pot traduce si intelege, ceea ce cevine obositor si plictisitor ,in acelasi timp.! Un sfat prietenesc si gratuit ,daca postati in toate dialectele sunt sigur ca o sa aveti abonati si vizitatori de zeci de oei mai multi ! Dupa cum am spus aveti postari interesante si m-am abonat la canalul dvs . si as-i dori sa primesc prin norificari toate postarile dvs .in limba Romana, deoarece toate sunt interesante. Unele le urmaresc chiar de 3-5 ori.deoarece i-mi placa pentru ca sunt informative ! In rest va doresc succes in continuare .
The scanner lens on the HP deskjet 6110 is glued in. Too bad, it might make a good peephole if I could get my eye close to it. I'm working on building a weak little CNC machine out of a 6110
Still no Part 2? With 3D printing taking off, the scanner glass has good potential for use on the hot bed. Today just salvaged two. Very carefully heated the glue with a hot air gun to separate the plastic frame.
How FFFrustrating. Part II, where are you?
You got me all excited ... now satisfy me!
Is it worth it to salvage the multi card reader? Or the power supply? Thank you 🤓 can the utility speaker be used in a PC? Danke
So, what did you use the power supply for? I could not find a video showing the new use for one. I have about 72 old printer scanners which peaked my interest in this video.
Still Looking for Part 2 of "How to Slavage Usefull Pars from Printers and Scanners", One year passed..... :)
Very useful video, thank you!
I have dismantled a total of four printers, and all the parts are sitting in a box. Can you please do a video on driving the motors, and how to determine the voltage that they require, and maybe hooking up that photo interuptor?
Great video as i have come to expect from you, is there a second video ?
if we programming the heads of printers of dotmatrix printers then we can easily produced piezoelectricity by using it and piezoelectricity crystal so large number of electron generators produce and thorium are not used for electron generator in microwave oven since radioactive elements are not healthy
