Topic: Source for the small crescent clips that hold in place the idler gear

Does anyone know of a source for the small crescent clips that hold in place the idler gear on the Davinci 1.0 and the bed on the Duo ? Yeah, I lost some and would like to replace the temporary ones made out of paper clips...

Thanks,

I did some searches on Ebait for 2 mm metal retainer rings but all I found were either big ones or nose rings. I do not wear nose rings although I stick my nose a lot into the cursed printer.

Their official names are called snap rings or E rings.

Mcmaster carr sells them in packs of 100 unfortunately the 2mm size is a little pricey like $10 for a hundred.
3-8 mm sizes are less than half that.
