Other clip designs are fine but this one is mine.

This is a parametric clip that I designed to be slotted with a MOLLE webbing system. Its thickness and width can be customized to fit as needed. It is also library code since it is designed to be used in other projects that required a clip. As such, to take full advantage of this model, you should be using OpenSCAD.
Printed using default PETG profile on prusaslicer.
In OpenSCAD, when you're incorporating the clip into your model, you want to do ‘use’ rather than ‘load’. The load function will load everything in clip.scad, including testing code.
use <clip.scad>;
Project Example:
This is an umbrella holster that I designed concurrently with the parametric clip. Although the design for the umbrella holster changed since I took this picture, it's still a good example of how a parametric clip can be incorporated into other project.
Usage Example:
How it looked when clipped.
Here's how I inserted a clip.
Here's how I pulled out a clip
Code example [clip_example.scad]:
// These two variables make things more curvy.
$fa = 1;
$fs = 0.1;use <clip.scad>;
//Variables you need to set in order to make a complete clip.
thickness = 3;
spacing = 1.6;
height = 30;
width = 25;
parametric_clip(width,height,spacing,thickness);
//Finishes the ending of a clip.
parametric_clip_end(width,height,spacing,thickness);
Here's a diagram that shows what each parameter will change.
