Sinclair Microdrive Replacement Rollers NEW | ZX Spectrum & QL Repair

Description

High-Quality TPU Replacement Rollers for Sinclair ZX Spectrum & QL Microdrives

Is your Microdrive struggling to read tapes or making a grinding noise? The original rubber rollers in Sinclair hardware are notorious for liquefying or hardening over the last 40 years. Our 3D printed TPU rollers are the modern solution for bringing your storage system back to life.

Engineered with a 95A shore hardness, these rollers offer the perfect balance of flexibility and grip—mimicking the original rubber specifications. To ensure smooth operation and prevent tape damage, each roller is printed with a very low layer height, helping to remove the line texture often found in 3D prints and providing a professional, low-friction finish.

Refurbishment Tips:

• Direct Fit: Designed as a drop-in replacement for both standalone ZX Microdrives and internal Sinclair QL drives.
• Cartridge Safety: Always ensure your Microdrive cartridges are refelted before use. Old felt pads will disintegrate and can damage your new roller and the tape itself.

Specifications:

• Material: 95A TPU (Flexible, durable, and oil-resistant)

Quantity: Sold individually (1 Roller)
