I have the opportunity to get this printer for thirty dollars and I was wondering what type of laser it uses, any usefull optics or circuitry etc that are available for harvest. Thanks for any help, it's located here.

the laser is IR and only few mW's, there are usually some long FS mirrors (like 1x30cm) and the coolest thing is the motor with hexagonal mirror. you can use it to create nice liquid sky effect
but I think it's not worth $30, you'd better find some old printer on ebay
