I saw the original buckle clips a while ago and as I found that the design is really nice I printed a couple of them. However I found that some things could be optimized, so I did it using blender. Below is a list of issues and improvements I made:
With those improvements the buckle clip are now really strong and fit perfectly my needs.
The scale of the buckle clip I provide will fit 2cm width straps, you can scale it up (or down, but not too much). I scaled it up to 180% to fit a large strap and it still works well with PETG. However the clip is a bit too strong with this large scale so I made a second male version with weaker male "legs". It should work only for large scales (let's say from about 150%), but I did not tested it, please let me know if you test it.
You should only print with materials that allows for bending like ABS/PETG, PLA may not be flexible enough. Enable supports for male and female parts, and don't print too hot (or with fan turned on) to be able to easily remove them from the female part.
If you print one, please post a make or a comment !
