I'd love to see how this model turns out for you.
Options
I made this one with horizontal hole to fit my purpose. Let me know if you'd use a more common vertical one.
How to print
I went through a lot of trial and error to figure out how to print it small without snapping under tension.
Material
I recommend printing in ASA for strength and UV resistance. Other materials should work too though.
If printing with ASA, I also recommend smooth PEI plate with glue stick. Even though the parts are small, they have enough area to not separate from the plate during printing.
Supports
Orientation of the main piece matters a lot and unfortunately it requires supports, which are not too difficult to remove (I already printed 25 of these). The supports are generated on the object itself as well, not only on build plate. See the image below for their location if not using the attached project (viewed from the bottom):
