Saw this auction for a pair of H960 blank front panel
clips:

and though I'd pick them up... until they went for $30 (including
shipping),at
which point I decided I'd go back to my previous plan to fabricate some
out of
some scrap wood, and a pair of screws.
Time to find someone who can do injection molding... (I don't think
these
could be 3D printed, the necks of the bulb-heads are under a lot of
stress
when removing panels, they often snap off; will 3D printed parts be
that
strong?)

Well, I guess you are not the only person in need for some spare ones.
I do have a few undamaged ones, but could use some additional spare
ones.
Maybe a future possibility to have a (maybe Chinese) manufacturer make
a batch of 1000, 2000 or maybe 10000 clips with a type of plastic which
is slightly more flexible so that they do not break off to quickly?
I have no idea what current prices would be for this field of
manufacturing
but would an item price of $0.50 - $1.00 be something sensible? In that
case,
I would gladly take 100 panel clips.
