I started by looking for the best design I could find for bag clips. I settled on MasterFX's verified and highly collected design. As usual, the complex design of a good model is, at first site, a challenge for a customizer as the entire object must be built from primitives instead of a set of extruded sketches followed by the use of easy filleting tools. Also, to get a great customizer, care needs to be taken to ensure a good preview appears when differencing objects.
About three prints were required to weed out issues with the model. The primary issues were the need for some good support around the "back" of the hinge. I've not seen a slicer yet than can infer that the best support would be an arc. This immediately led to an understanding that, as usual, the layer printing height chosen by the printer should ideally be taken into account in the design; I would expect the best results where
