I'm a bit confused about it's advantages then. If a lead screw mechanism were designed to be pull only, then it could be very compact and likely substantially cheaper than the $191 seen here. This takes up a relatively wide cross section, and to cover the vulnerable innards would increase that.
You'd have a tough time selling me on the reliability of the cabling (not unspooling ever, etc...) as well.
What type of printing is done on it? I'd have concerns about the strength of the eyelets too depending on motor ratio.
