I have a job that gives me access to a bunch of big copiers that will eventually be thrown away. Today I got to pull one apart and grab some parts. I found 6 nema 17 motors, a pile of gears, belts, solenoids and maybe even a frame for my (eventual) 3D machine.
I'm curious about a few of the motors.
Here they are:

I know it's blurry. Here's a list of part numbers from top left to bottom right:
STP-43D1052
17PM-J343-P5VS
17PM-J343-P4VS
STP-43D1053
STP-43D1052
17PM-J212-G3VS
I found data for the Minebea motors and I think they will work. I'm not sure about the digits on the end of those but I'm assuming those have something to do with the gears on the motor shafts. The smallest has a brass gear with angled teeth :D
I'm having a hard time finding anything on the other 3 (the STP models).
Anyone have any ideas what the other 3 motors are? My arduino mega should be here tomorrow. Then I can figure out if I can re-use the driver boards or power supply. Should be a fun weekend :)
Has anybody worked with copier parts?
