Clip design question

[John_Marlow]

I need to design a clip that will be 3D printed in ABS. I need it to flex just a little bit (0.010" ?) to provide a friction fit on a panel. I was thinking of making the “clip” about 0.090" thick. Is that too thin? Is it likely to snap when I try to flex it?

The two short legs are about 2 degrees less than parallel.

I made a similar part for my wife to clamp some needle work . It worked fine at.100 to .090 should be fine . It should not snap if you print it on its side with a couple of extra wall passes .
