Canon MP140 printer / scanner

This is a slightly unusual post, in that there no real hacking or building involved, quite the contrary: it’s about how to dismantle an old/brokern printer to salvage its electronics and nice mechanical parts…

Finally, after one whole morning of (very pleasant) work in the burning London sun I managed to salvage:

• 2 normal motors
• 1 stepper motor
• 1 controller board (which I imagine I won’t be able to re-use )
• 3 optical sensors (probably the most useful of all this, I already have an idea of how to use them for my new BB airsoft tank !)
• some nice mechanical belts
• a few other useless things…
