    Default Printer Maintenance Kits good source of aluminium bar stock

    Just thought i'd give everyone a quick heads up , i just installed some printer maintenance kits (HP4250) at work, and i found the old fusers contained a nice thick piece of aluminium, probably about 350x25mm in size, perfect for small projects.

    Turned up a bench dog using one and it turned out a treat

    What's a printer maintenance kit? Not the cartridge?

    Hi Hux, no not the cartridge.

    The maintenanc kit is used on medium/larger printers every 200-250K pages, it replaces the fusers and usually the main rollers.

    The fuser is the part with the bars. The best bars i have found so far were in a HP Laserjet 4250 which wehave several of and my workplace.

    All our maintenance is contracted out unfortunately so other than cartridge changes you don't get to touch them.

    Looks like I'll just have to buy - well maybe our HP5L goes down at home I can do it.

    Hux, just ask the technician doing the work if he throws away the old fusers, we had a printer repaired recently and the guy was happy he didnt need to cart the old fuser back to the office.
