Hopefully this is the last version.
Revamped from another desgin; the idea is that it could be joined up to a common Flea Collar.
1. Updated the ends that would connect to the collar to be a natural fit for flea collar, will need a bit of glue.
2. Reinforced the walls to be thicker on the female clasp (original one broke very easily)
3. Reinforced the male prongs so they wouldn't bend as much
Printing Tips: Print the female part vertical, and the male on laying flat. Raft and supports are recommended for cleaner removal. You should do a 100% fill.
Notes: The male part of the buckle will loose it's "springiness" on one or both of the prongs, if you are using standard PLA plastic filament. For this reason, I actually chose not to use it for much; but if you want to use it reliably for a long time, I suggest to use a more sturdy filament. (outside of my expertise).
Other Ideas -- You could add a small "hook" to the buckle so that the actual dog tags could be attach
