Notes:

I used a small trick to print the clip's overhangs with no support -- starting at 13.6mm I switched from 0.2mm layers to 0.1mm layers. This creates smaller overhangs, and allows each layer to cool off a little more before the next layer is applied.

The clip's tab snaps into the base. But because the locking tabs are small, you can pull it apart with a little effort. I put a few drops (DROPS) of Gorilla Glue into the bottom of the slot before snapping in the clip to create a more permanent assembly.

I printed in PETG for flexibility. The print uses 15% infill, and it works great; but, I also used four perimeters to effectively create a solid clip. The honeycomb design saves material, increases flexibility, and is esthetically pleasing.
