Hook buckle for messenger bag

A hook buckle replacing the ordinary side-release buckle clip on my messenger bag. The original one broke pretty easily, and has been replaced a few times. Also, I wanted a buckle that's easy to operate one-handed while riding a bike.

This is a "working draft" version printed in PLA, I intend to use it and see how it works out, and then make improvements to the design and print in in PETG with finer resolution and more infill.

BTW, this is my first print ever (apart from the mandatory Prusa logo test print), just finished assembling my printer today, Oct 05 2017!

UPDATE: The first draft version finally broke after almost 5 months of daily use, so I printed a new one, (now with 100% infill). I made some small changes to the design, the webbing attachment is stronger and the hook gap now features a small bump for better pinch.
