Kopf 2650 Micropositioner - Free

Kopf started calling these micropositioners rather than microdrives, but the technology of the micrometer driven hydraulic system is the same as they used for decades. This is only about 10 years old, but the electronic drive does not work and would need to be returned to Kopf for repair, perhaps the power supply (?), but that is surely less than buying a new unit.

Toner/Ink Cartridges

Various Toner Cartridges (some brand new!) - Free

(1) We have 2 packs of Limeink brand toner, each containing 2 cartridges of black and 1 each of cyan/yellow/magenta. We also have 1 spare black cartridge from Limeink and 2 more from a mystery brand. These are all 30A/CF230A. They're off-brand but never caused an issue with our old printer. These are all new; we just didn't get a chance to use them before our old printer gave out.

(2) We have 1 cartridge each of C/Y/M of some off-brand toner that our HP is rejecting. It's caused some weird smudgy printing for us, so I can't vouch for its quality. We're suspicious it might just be HP causing issues when it detects off-brand toner, though (we've switched to the super expensive HP kind and seen no issues). These cartridges are all lightly used but still mostly full. These are 210x for HP 4201/MFP 4301 (in theory).

We're located in Kellogg Global Hub (3rd floor).
