Title: Is anyone selling replacement gears?
Post by: soop on 04/12/2018, 04:14 PM
I thought I should probably snap some up just in case, but I see some greedy bitch is selling them of eBay for $30 each.  Is there a more reasonable source?

Obvs it might not be the right gear, but I see people are selling replacement cd gears on ali baba

Thanks!  Still seems very overpriced for what it is, but it's better.

$8 seems to be a reasonable price when compared to spare parts for other devices and hobby things (R/C, model trains, etc.)

Be careful not to buy gears from China no matter how cheap they may be. I did once and they were crap, they were transparent and the grooves were sticking, the motor was struggling to move the laser. I would definitely go with console5 , he sells really quality stuff.
