3DBenchy pegboard display

I've started using the 3DBenchy model to test new filaments. After printing, I wanted to keep them displayed somewhere easy to see, and be able to keep some notes on what the materials and print settings were. I liked the carousel and rudder stand holders, but I don't have much tabletop space to store them. I do have a large section of pegboard, so I created this four-part holder to display them next to my printer.

The clips are sized for "small" pegboard holes, which are approximately 4.4mm in diameter. The top, hooked end should slip easily into the hole, but the bottom ends of the clips should be tight when pressed into the pegboard, so that it can support the weight of the boat. Larger pegboard holes won't support the holder as securely. I'm hoping to add larger clips in future.

The "label" piece is sized to allow a strip of painters or masking tape to be added, so that notes can be written about the piece being displayed.

The pieces can be assembled prior to inserting into the pegboard, or assembled on the board directly. The tolerances should allow the pieces to fit together snugly, but some minor scaling might be needed if they're too loose. I suggest printing in PETG if possible, to prevent shrinking but retain some flexibility to keep it from cracking. The infill percent shouldn't matter for the boat holder or label components. If you need more strength from the clips, or can't use PETG, they can be printed with a higher infill setting.
