Spring for Vickers action

Another question for Gunsmithing
I have a fellow chap who is looking for a spring similar to one in Vickers machine gun.
It is the one that looks like a hair clip in this video:

From 2:01 it can be seen in dark red / burgundy, in between the green firing pin hold up link and the firing pin. I would say it is the firing pin spring, but as I am not too familiar with Vickers mechanism, I am leaving at that.
He tried 3d printing it but it fails. Either is too hard and snaps, or it is too soft and doesn't do the job.
Any advice?
