Any piece can be spiral-bound if you use your imagination:

WTF, this person is basically charging 20 bucks for 24 bound transparencies. Fuck I wish I would have thought of this.

67 bucks for a binder
Knock yourself out
I personally use this to punch 12 holes at a time and 2:1 pitch bindings like these (some machines will only punch 3:1 pitch holes, others will do 2:1. The pitch just means how many holes are punched per inch; ex. 3:1 is 3 holes per inch). You can look up Youtube videos of how to use the Cinch bookbinder; most hand binders operate like that one. One thing to note is that even though it punches up to 12 holes at a time, you can make notebooks as big as you want; it has an extender to help you punch more holes down the line. It's easier than it seems!
quiero comprarme esto o algo similar, y aca no baja de las 12 lucas (profesional, supongo)
que cosas tengo que tener en cuenta para comprarlo por amazon?
Thanks for reminding me! I meant to cover that in my original comment.
The notebook is from the dollar store. I looked for one with Wire-o bindings, like these:

That way, you're able to flip the front cover over to the back, stretch the binding open a bit, take off the existing covers and add your own. (The existing covers are helpful for measuring and creating a template for the cover.)
Just be careful that you don't get a standard spiral binding; that'd be very hard to undo and redo.

What type of three-ring binder are you using? Always use a larger size than you think you need, and go with the "D" ring binding style. The older style circle binding tends to jam up but the D rings are great if the binder is large enough.
If you really want to go the spiral route, it can be expensive to use a company like staples. You are better off purchasing the machine and equipment, it is pretty reasonable and pays for itself if you are making more than one.
This binding machine is under $40, can bind up to 450 sheets of paper in each book, and comes with 10 spiral bindings. If you need more, you can buy a 100 pack of spiral bindings for under $10, just make sure you buy the right "sheet capacity" size bindings. (i.e. if you need to make a 250 page book, buy bindings that have at least a 250 sheet capacity or greater).
Needs some padding compound.
You can also get padding compound to make your own pads after printing. https://www.amazon.com/Book-Compound-Adhesive-Binding-Books/dp/B003QI3ZLE
One option is you can get a hole puncher/ wire binder and put a spiral or o-wire onto the paper. This way it doesn't cost you too much in the long run.
