Sourcing cable drive spools?
June 24, 2017 01:27AM
Hey guys, I've been looking around for a place to get cable spools/drums/reels, the ones used on spectra line driven printers that mount to a motor shaft. Despite my best efforts and days of searching, I've only found fishing reels and one source for the spools (I'd like to have more than one as this sources has a 'limited quantity')

[www.ebay.com]

Am I using the wrong search terms or are these things a precious treasure nobody wants to part with?

I bought mine from that eBay link, but they have a web-store also (and they're cheaper there too, cutting out eBay).
Nice looking like in the eBay pic...well done.

Yeah I saw their website, but I can't find any other sources for this whatsoever. It can't be that niche that no Chinese manufacturers exist can it? I'm sure spools are used somewhere enough to be manufactured en mass.
