You don't say what size you want. There are some 4mm single blocks:

and plastic  5mm single blocks with a loop which I have used for signal halyards:

Double block versions are also available.

Thank you so much for that Colin, had seen them already - a bit big for what I need - I think 5mm is as big as I need and don't mind if there are 3D printed

Would the boxwood blocks that Amati make be any use, maybe with a slight modification?  Sizes down to 2mm.
