If you're in the USA you could try the McMaster.com web site

Every single Industrial supplier company will have one of these, as will all photo equipment suppliers.

M1.6 and larger are available at many suppliers but strangely M1.8 is most often missing.

Make sure you this is the correct screw.

McMaster does not carry this screw with Phillips drive, only slotted.

Try your camera repair shop.

A M1.8 X .35 is not a first choice for a screw thread but it is a second. That will make it hard to located. The M1.6 X .35 or M2 X .4 is standard. In that you are manufacturing the mount I would change the screw thread if possible. If this is to attach the camera and that is the screw thread needed then check camera shops ones that do a lot of repair work for OEM screws. Fabricate the mount to utilize the OEM screws.
