But for a simple clip design that you might be able to use for a bag clip see thingverse thing:15371. For a more complex clip design see thingverse thing:5580.

I know there are some flexible things that do work okay.

You might not get something that can bend 180 degrees, but some bend should work.

I assume ABS would be too brittle and crack, not sure though.
I was considering perhaps a slot that could have part of a cable tie laid in and then have printing continue over the top hopefully capturing the tie solidly.
