Building a 3D printer from used $60 US flatbed scanner.

MICROTEK ScanMake 9600XL, large format flatbed scanner. Used, purchased at REPC for $60 in Seattle. This will be used for the bases of the 3D Printer I am building. Primary advantage, this scanner has two scanner slide assemblies, bed and lid, complete with stepper motors, belt drive, dual slide rails. Thus, mounted in the appropriately fabricated superstructure, these components can form the primary basis for the x and y axis for the printer.
