Re: Laminator Temperature Control

2009-12-27 by saposoft

Yessss Sir ! 
Just found one in a Laser Printer dismantled to make a laminator , was just wandering if it could be used for a noble scope like this one .... 
I'm also trying to build a laminator with thickness control from the remains of the said laser printer , I can't find a cheap laminator in my city , min price is 150$ , no Staples here in italy (sniff) and by the way the cheap ones are almost impossible to modify .
I'll keep the group informed.
BTW the laminator I'm using now is indeed very cheap (40$) but the PCB is too thick and the gears can't keep up with and they loose traction .
Beside this small problem , it's working a beauty with the thermostat retrofitted so it can reach 180 C° to fuse the toner . I'm using TT paper the blue one.
