This is a rotating carabiner clip, best suitable for small and light payloads, but you can scale it up to have a bigger one, if you like.
It is fully customizable using the included Fusion360 file and a whole set of parameters (see the image above for more details). Be aware that many parameters are cross-referred in others. This to always have a proportionally working clip, but if you go to extreme values, some fillets and chamfers will probably screw-up (tnx, Fusion 360 -_-)
Said that, although it is technically possible to increase the size of the item, even if you do so,do not use for climbing, carry heavy loads, securing your babies, attaching pianos, lifting containers and so on.This is not a safety tool. So, really, don't do that.

Print it in PETG to have a working clip and 5+ walls for maximum strenght.
I had some issues with the nozzle knocking down the lower part of the peg. After a couple of fails, I solved with these slicer settings. This doesn't necessarily mean that you will need to, but if your prints will fail, these could be something I would try first.
- Tilt and lift the item a bit (see the image above)
- Enable the "Z-Hop while retracting" in Cura (or equivalent in other slicers)
- Increase the support density. Please bear in mind that doing so will produce visible sag in the print, so don't do that too much. Find the best compromise between adhesion and visual results for your setup (mine was 35%).
- Change the support pattern to "Triangles". This will sag a lot, but in my case I had to.
