      An laser printer is just a reverse scanner. It’s basically a resin printer with toner. We’re well past those being diy doable. It’s a couple of wires to deliver a charge to the drum and paper, a laser to remove the charge from the drum for the image, and a reservoir for the toner for the drum to pick up. The most complex part is the laser and mirrors for alignment, which is well into hobby diy territory.

        Ok, well… we’re all looking forward to you publishing the repo for an opensource laser printer then I guess.
