They?re 3D printed and I think I found them on eBay or one of the 3D
services. I forget. I do remember it was $15 for 2.
Yes it appears to be the gear. Opened up the drive and the eject
mechanism and the one smaller gear is missing some teeth. Found someone
posted the stuff you need to 3D print new ones but don't have a 3D
printer myself. That person also sells them at 12 for $8 so ordered some
and will see how they do when they come in. I suspect all 6 of the bad
drives have the same issue.
