Raspberry Pi CSI Clip

I somehow broke about every CSI clip on all my Pi's, and cannot find replacements. So- I decided to make my own.

This model was made when I went to install a camera into Octoprint.  I broke the CSI/DSI clip trying to loosen it to insert the cable.  Apparently I'm the only one who manhandles these (unfortunately now) really expensive devices- and I could not find just the litttle clip that holds the cable in.  I did print 4 of these at the same time, spaced out good so that they had some time to cool before the next layer went down.  I also printed at 0.05, although I'm not sure that's strictly needed (apparently it works fine printed in .1 as well, thanks @lumennovum_571639).  I used Overature PETG, and the clip fits into both the CSI and the DSI slots.  Please make sure that your printer is dialed in well, otherwise you might just print a mess.  It's a very small piece.  PLA could work as well, I just prefer to print in PETG.  I did test it out, it fits well and holds the cable in place.  

      This clip should fit all of the full sized pis- I know it will fit the 3s and the 4b, but will not fit the zero.  There are a couple other MIPI CSI retainer clips over on “the other” platform for the zero, but mine was built from scratch.
