2 centimeters (~3/4 inch) is more what I can imagine in plotters.
This is a Commodore plotter for the C-64, VIC-20, etc.
It takes
paper that resembles cash register tape. It is much smaller than,
say, an HP 7475 plotter that takes full sheets of paper.

OK, so the gear is smaller than the letter 'O' in 12 point type.
That would certainly be more difficult to repair. I don't think that I
would want to attempt to glue that back together!
www.smallparts.com is a handy source for gears and stuff, but for
something less than 2 millimeters diameter, you are definitely in the
watchmaker realm.
