RE: Any alternative for rivets?

I did the + upgrade as well as installed the camera. I was able to reuse about 75% of the rivets with careful removal.

I'd go with spares from Prusa or McMaster Carr if I needed any more. McMaster is not cheap, but you know exactly what you are getting, including CAD models for most things. They also deliver next day to me, approaching Amazon in logistics capabilities, although you explicitly pay for shipping, rather than having it baked into the price.

Regards,

Mark

McMaster may not be cheap, but they carry everything you can imagine, including snacks. Honest, put "snacks" in their search bar. I've often thought if I needed a kidney, McMaster would be the first place to check. That said, I don't know if they're a good source for things if you don't live in the US. Misumi might be a better bet.

I went with McMaster  for the fast solution to have them on hand.

I guess I should have checked that store to see if they had quality gummy bears or not.

I checked. Swedish Fish, but no gummy bears.
