zip ties added to sourcing guide, thanks
FWIW upon encountering this issue I grabbed these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0826Z1RLK
The quality is ... okay (minor burrs here and there), and my caliper says they are indeed 1.8mm width as described for the product.
A suggestion for improvement: making the zip tie mount points compatible with 2.5mm would make sourcing easier. At least where I am from, I've checked many Swedish suppliers, all have 2.5mm, none have 1.8mm. And, incidentally, the ones that came with the prusa kit I bought were 2.5.
tme.eu has 1233 SKUs for zip ties, only 3 of which are 1.8mm or less, so these are rare...

Yeah, 1.8 is indeed a rare thing, I agree with this completely. Here you have one (the only?) supplier though https://www.electrokit.com/produkt/buntband-71mm-x-1-8mm-svarta-100-st-panduit/
Added to the BOM
Assembly requires zip ties in various locations, but they're not included in the BOM.
... And since some of the parts require smaller zip-ties than people are likely to have (smaller than 4in/100mm, which are typically the smallest in normal zip-tie assortments), it is worth a call-out somewhere like the BOM/sourcing guide!
