About Spool & Signal

Spool & Signal posts deals on gear for people who print, engrave, fly and get on the air: 3D printers, filament and resin, diode lasers, FPV quads and ham radio. We write for people who already know what PLA, a whoop or an HT is.

How a deal gets on the site

• We start from the maker's or retailer's own product page, in the US store, in US dollars.
• The price has to show on that page and hold up when the item goes in a cart. We stop before checkout.
• The usual price is whatever we can source, and the post names the source. Right now that is usually the store's own list price. We don't call anything a record low without price history behind it.
• We note stock, who sells it and any coupon the store lists. We only give an end date when the store shows one.
• Every post is stamped with the date and time we checked the price, in Central time.
• If we can't verify a price, the deal doesn't go up.

Some posts say a deal is only okay, or that the discount is small. That's on purpose. A 40% off sticker on an inflated list price isn't a deal, and we'd rather tell you that than pad the page.

Merch

Later on we'll sell shirts, stickers and mugs for makers and hams. They'll be print-on-demand, made to order by a fulfillment partner. The shop isn't open yet.
