Description
I stayed as close as I could to the original clip design and designed it from scratch. To accomodate different material strengths there are two designs.
The 1.5 mm material thickness is close to the original.
I also made a 2.5 mm model if you are using a material which is softer than the PP Ikea is (or was) using.

From left to right: Original clip, print in Cenatur PP, print in Durabio
Print:
0.2 mm layer height, print upright without support. Use brim if needed.
I do not recommend PLA. Good material choices are for example PETG or PP. If you are using PP please be aware that the filaments on the market are behaving quite differently. Formfutura Centaru PP prints beautifully but is very soft. I found that Fillamentum PP 2320 is pretty well suited with its higher stiffness. I also tested DURABIO (an odd, easy to print PC variant, based on Isosorbide and which behaves like a mixture of PC and PMMA) which worked fine too.
