I muscled the headset buckle on my HTC vive a bit too hard when removing it, and one of the tabs broke. So I measured everything, made a CAD model, and printed this replacement. it works great (yes, I really use it and I'm not worried about the headset coming loose)
IMPORTANT: Use a strong material with some elongation (flex) strength. Mine worked best with Taulman Bridge Nylon. I also tried Taulman Tech-G, but it didn't quite have enough elongation before it would snap. Test it before using it by giving it a reasonable pull / twist, etc. This buckle, like the original, works by flexing and pulling a bit, making the tabs pull tight into the slots.
My best print:
Taulman Bridge Nylon
0.4mm nozzle
0.15 layer height
Oriented on the large, flat, back side
45mm/sec
45 C bed
Use fine supports set at 45 degrees (I used simplify 3D with supports set 1mm^2 threshold). This will make some small supports under the hooks of the tabs so they come out just right to grip the headset
