you can motorize the fuser you know, just like it was in the printer.

I too am very interested in the casting, i would appreciate webpages
and conversation. this is maybe not the place, there are already some 
other groups.
I have read a little already in the past, but i do not know where to get 
the materials
(in the eu).

Josh, if you have a look at the existing groups and check them out, please
tell me which you think is suitable and join. i am interestid in "plastic 
casting" mainly.
but i am too fascinated by aluminium casting, but this is more effort so 
the plastic thing
would be fine for now (and i think better detail parts are easier 
obtainable).
I will check them myself in a few days time maybe but if you do it before 
i can save the time.
