A good place to look for Electrionic parts such as DC Motors, Inductors, Photo Diodes, Gears, Springs, Screws, Stepper Motors, and more is to part out some old printers. Usually, the ink jet printers have at least two DC motors and are available salvation army for a few bucks.
In this video that is 40 minutes (WOW), I take it an HP 1220C Injet Apart, and talk about some of the function of the printer, motors, as well as cover encouders and flags.

My company threw out this exact printer and I took it. Covered in ink too. Looking forward to the many components and glad I got to learn about it at the same time.

I just discovered this channel. Getting into inkjet printer repair and this helps a bunch. Thank you for making it 🙏

I would be interested to some follow up videos on projects you have done using these reclaimed parts. It is interesting seeing disassembly but design, innovation and reuse of parts would be an eye opener.

I watch places like craigslist, for people wanting to get rid of old hardware. This last week, I scored 8 inkjet printers, 5 fax machines, 7 all in one inkjets, and 14 older laser printers. All these from a local computer store that wanted to get rid of them. The only thing it cost me is the time to go pick them up. The encoder wheel he showed for the paper feed has two sets of numbers on it. The 2400 ct , 200 lpi means 2400 lines around the perimeter, and the 200 lpi is lined per inch. The optical encoders for these have two receivers, set up behind very tiny slits in the case. similar to a mechanical rotary encoder, these give an offset dual pulse train to the processor, so the printer knows which direction and how far the wheel/carriage have moved. Keep the gears also, they can come in handy for reduction gearsets in other projects.

Some times common since can be easily overlooked.however i enjoyed your video. Thanks for your effort.

I did the same thing with 5 printers & a few scanners. I used the linear rods,stepper motors, bets/pulleys & sensors to build my 3D printer!

@1blisslife 8 лет назад

I got hem for a few bucks like you & was cheaper than buying the parts required to build my Rework Prusa i3 diy 3D printer :)!

@panagiotiselsisi7752 7 лет назад

Any links to see how you did it?

@1blisslife 7 лет назад

Panagiotis El Sisi I don't have links for everything, but I did measure the 8mm/10mm rods before buying the printers at local thrifty shops for instance. I got a few scanners that had stepper motors too. For other things I went on eBay & bought the ramps controller board with LCD, belts, bearings, and stepper controllers for about $50 USD as a kit. The prices always change... I always recommend to search directly. I also bought 5 stepper motors for $40 USD(since a good deal, and the others weren't uniform). The prusa plastic parts for $20 on eBay. The frame I made of wood that I got for free (cut to size). For build guides I referenced RU-vid videos for Prusa i3 rework. There's many videos here to help with the build. Measure twice to avoid mistakes ;) The rods were twice as expensive than what I bought the printers for if bought alone & also used the photo sensors on the printers to sense the end of the rail in the 3D printer. Review the RU-vid build videos to see what parts can be scavenged & which to buy new. The screws? I had many already collected & used, and others I bought. Cheers

@panagiotiselsisi7752 7 лет назад

Thanks a lot mate!

@goldbunny1973 7 лет назад

What sort of stepper motors did you recover and from which devices? I'm about to start building my first Hypercube, but Ive also now got Ramps wiring order right so I'll finish my i2 conversion to dual extruders & hopefully use that to print my XY machine plastic parts

@boywithadolphin Год назад

Love the way you throw the useless parts away. Just what I do. I get lots of printers free for parts. People are glad to get rid of them

...365 degrees? That made my day. Or I should say my year.

@MCsCreations 7 лет назад

Really nice. I made a homemade dremel tool with a dc motor from a printer head, a c2162-60006 (it's from HP 660c). It's not that fast, but it's amazing how strong and difficult to handle it is. LOL

@raymi9612 5 лет назад

What is the voltage of the DC motors you are talking about at 21:00 ?

@ilanbinkovitch6054 6 лет назад

Do you know how to re-align the cog wheel system and the motor that feed the paper ( X-axis) ? I am trying to fix an old HP and every step works manually but not as should. I really would appreciate if you help me save an old but otherwise OK HP 843C . thx anyway

@PRLE_R28 5 лет назад

Thanks bro,i got a 10 in my university colege for adding some of those parts.

@lindaclayton8701 3 года назад

Hey Dan! are are you still in here? I really just getting started at collecting parts. I worked in a non profit organization PC Class for a few weeks and I never realized how much I would enjoy taking apart laptop and pc and putting them back together so much 🤣. Thanks for the share.👍

@StaglBagl 5 лет назад

Looks like the disc did have 2400 ticks. There was a label on one side that said 2400 CT / 200 LPI (lines per integer?)

@emmanuelpenn1652 7 лет назад

Good Way To Take Things Apart.

@JohnyDays69 8 лет назад

I have done this many times, but one of the things I find it very hard is just the fact that there are some parts like ICs you cannot get a datasheet or technical information from the manufacturer. So I have just ended up by comparing to other similar devices and also use my own knowledge by doing reverse engineering ... uhmm I think I'm going make a video for this.

@MCsCreations 7 лет назад

John Days The same about the motors. It's hard to discover even how much rpm it has.

@geoleob 7 лет назад

Like your style

@sekharsinha3159 7 лет назад

how can i find the voltage rating of that dc motors.?

@WhoWantsToKnow81 7 лет назад

Having taken apart several printers myself, I *strongly* recommend using disposable latex gloves. Getting the ink off one's hands is a real pain in the ass!

@DRYROT124 7 лет назад

I never found any stepper motor in a printer, only sometimes in scanners.

@chip582002 2 года назад

Can you do something with those cables and other misc parts besides using them to repair a similar machine?

@okenkhuman_logicbee 6 лет назад

Now i think u can build a robotic hand using those metals as base support, hall sensors and those motors... I wish i have those now

What is main function of rotary encoder on ADF motor?

@1francobarbieri 8 лет назад

Two words: anger management. naa just kidding. Excellent job! Thanks.

@goldbunny1973 7 лет назад

hehe... why do lads always think of that AFTER theyve spilt oil or printer toner all over the floor or desk? You're the 2nd guy to do this in the last 4 videos Ive watched : ) however I also really enjoyed this, very informative & nice over-the-shoulder discards.

@TrasteIAm 8 лет назад

LOL, you inked yourself! Great vid, very useful, got 2-3 printers wasting space in storage. Oh, and its great cause you can throw all the rejected stuff in their right recycling bin.

@1blisslife 8 лет назад

Use the parts to build a 3D printer :)! Most printers do use the 8mm rods(some are diff sizes though).

@1blisslife 8 лет назад

+1blisslife same as a diy 3D printer.

@antresia.9723 5 лет назад

Can I keep the dc motor that you have i love motors

@RiaziMohandesi Год назад

fantastic useful precious video. thank you. you need more light focused on the field.

@mageshkumarg7344 5 лет назад

You teared them apart... :D Good job

@roshanhegde7645 6 лет назад

why do modern printers don't use stepper motor instead of dc motors?.............Can a stepper motor be as precise as an Optical Encoder?

@edwardnorton2012 7 лет назад

At about 6:28 into the video you were talking about the reason it is high voltage. The reason they warn you is because the caps hold charge even when unplugged. It doesn't last a real long time but it does store a charge & some of them will knock your ass out of your seat.. I have done dozens upon dozens of printers & scanners & like you I keep almost all the parts. I still have 50 printers to disassemble but need more room to store the stuff now. Appreciate the vid!

@drnv150 5 лет назад

Looks like a good PWM switching power supply..

@retn1122 4 года назад

I was looking for lead.

@lohikarhu734 5 лет назад

The power supply is a switch-mode supply, more efficent than a transformer type...

@scottcarlon6318 6 лет назад

Wearing nitrol gloves will help to keep ink off the hands, just a friendly observation...

@The52brandon 6 лет назад

I assume you mean "linear" motor. Both stepper and linear are DC motors

@raymondcowey1041 5 лет назад

It's printed on the encoder wheel the number of tick marks... 2400CT

@goldbunny1973 7 лет назад

One last thing; You may wanna put on a pair of thin latex gloves (5p/pr) before you start : )

@FredWilbury 6 лет назад

Hey the plastic parts are great for modelling.....good vid though..

Step 1: get rid of all inky parts.

@2nnhys991 7 лет назад

365° ? HM. 😎 Its 360° for a full turn. One degree is 60 arc minutes. One minute is 60 arc seconds. that make a arc minute 1 / 21 600 of a full turn. and a arc second 1 / 1296000 of a full turn. Now I have seen stepper motors with a fraction of a second, per step, so they can be incredible precise going foreward or backwards at even half a step. They would still need feedback ( encoders ) and All in All DC motors make it cheaper. Lucky us 😁

@103798 6 лет назад

congrats, you learned imperial units. When you are ready you can come to Europe and we show you metric ones.

@sypher0101 7 лет назад

4:45 "With HP being a named brand, they're not going to go cheap and use crappy components" HA! heaps of "named brands" use cheap components, one particular being Samsung... many times using cheap caps..

@1blisslife 7 лет назад

sypher0101 For newer stuff yes I totally agree. I think he's talking about older vintage printers from when they were 3 times as expensive or more. That's like the one on this video & in which that wasn't skimped on.

@MusicalBox 7 лет назад

Very informative. But you should put a warning for people with OCD :-D Ink stains on your hands, table and tools. Screws and various parts flying everywhere. I almost fainted when you dipped your fingers in that ink reservoir :/ Thumbs up anyway ;)

@unebonnevie 5 лет назад

Wear gloves, my friend. Great job with explaining.

@jtreg 8 лет назад

gloves?

@ssmith7330 7 лет назад

careful about second hand printers check carefully for bugs...leave in a trash bag till you can inspect it

@metou3072 4 года назад

you always should short out capacitors intentionally with a screwdriver or anything else that has an insulator handle on it by having a metal tool bridge the terminals on the capacitor to discharge it in case there is still a charge inside of it so you don't have to just cross your fingers and hope for the best like this knucklehead...rookie mistakes...not the kind of people you want to learn anything electric from...and get a damn drill so you dont have to spend 40+min on a 10min job or less
