Direct Drive Extruder from Junk Printer Parts

My friend Tony builds the most amazing contraptions from junked copiers and printers. When I made him aware of the RepRap project, he pulled out all the stops, and built himself a RepStrap, with his own extruder design. All the parts, from the five linear slides, to the touch screen monitor are from salvaged office equipment. Don't judge performance by the print quality, as he's only been at it for a few days, but I can say that the extruder works well (especially since he's using my hot end design).

Enjoy.

Impressive! Always interesting to see what people can put together from spare parts.

Can you ask him what kind of printers he pulled those steppers out of ?
Impressive build I must say

I believe he has a link to his eBay page on the videos. He says he sells the parts there. I don't know exactly which copiers/printers these come from.
