What are some good alternatives for stuff like mipi screens, 3d printer parts, etc? I can find alternatives for common goods, but uncommon ones are nearly impossible.

I buy directly from the manufacturer if possible. Don’t care about spending more money because I’m buying from them to support them, rather than buying fake Chinese knock-offs from amazon

Hi fren, I'm a humble humanities pede. I'm afraid I'm not your tech person you seek. My husband buys used computers to circumvent funding the CCP (but he's like an open source absolutist so he's sort of in a different market than your average computer user).

Do what you can, the more we support our supply chain the more robust it will be, we're really down and out in manufacturing goods.

I could make microchips and set up a whole printing facility tbh, but I'd mostly be out-competed by China, and any tech I made would be stolen. It be nice to support stopping that.
