  I get mine from McMaster Carr, but they are expensive. ebay and aliexpress are cheaper options if you can wait for them to arrive.
  
  I recently bought a resin 3d printer to see if it was viable to print my own spacers and standoffs. Preliminary tests are encouraging.
  
  If it is threaded, it is a standoff - no threads then it is a spacer. I think.

  I got what I needed from McMaster-Carr. Pricey, but got exactly what I need.

  Digi-Key has a fairly complete line of these.

  I use the round standoffs from McMaster. More options in Inch vs metric.

  You might try Lyn-Tron, Inc. in Spokane, WA. I get all of my spacers from them.
