    Laserjet guts?
    hehe
    j/k

    I ll take a wild guess.
    Maybe 2 permanent magnet motors. (unipolar) (nema 23)
    Prolly a bunch of gears and stuff.
    A couple of PCB's driving the whole deal.
    Dust and dirt.

    Additionally, very stiff rods - suitible for all sorts of things - might make up a set for a small z axis
    a power supply - if you're into electronics might work for some other jobs
    The stepper motor is quite "beefy" and maybe about 100oz/in. There might also be a dc motor or 2.
    Search user chuckknigh for other ideas - here on the 'zone. Chuck's done quite a bit of scrounging from those printers. Save all the bits and pieces - but the loose ink/toner is a mess so wear gloves and and do it on newspaper. cheers - happy scrounging - Jim
    Experience is the BEST Teacher. Is that why it usually arrives in a shower of sparks, flash of light, loud bang, a cloud of smoke, AND -- a BILL to pay? You usually get it -- just after you need it.
