BTW: There is no material without stretch, especially when it's braided. ( hard to see on your pic, but definitely the case in the video)
We had a discussion about spectra line vs. belt lately...

Interesting to hear about the more windings increasing wear and not helping much with reducing slip. Do you know for sure it's the fact there are more windings causing the extra wear and not just the seam in the 2 part pulley? Really curious to know more about this since I'll be using this sort of system in a higher load situation where slipping is more of an issue.

IMHO, the scary thing about fishing line printers is the insane amount of tension required to prevent slipping.
So I thought of a different approach which doesn't require excessive tension. ( I'm sure it's been done before )
We could clamp the fishing line to the pulley, so it can't slip. Now we have to wind up the right amount of line to the pulley required to do the whole travel.
With a bit of tinkering, we could share that amount of turns equally between drive pulley and idler.
Let's say, the drive and idler both have a diameter of 10mm = 31.4mm per turn and we want 300mm travel. That's 5 turns on each side. Not too much I'd say.

Just uploaded a short video to demonstrate the shared windings and such.
The setup isn't perfect. The idler bracket should be fixed. I thought it would help aligning and centering.
