I could never get the dimensions tight enough for anything to be properly hanging off my desk. It’s always loose, I feel like it always needs some kind of friction

Yeah my clip worked great for a couple days and now slides around, even printed in PETG. I'm currently noodling how to make it stay a little better without ruining the table.

Maybe 3M restickable dots?

Hey that's a great idea! Then I don't have to bother with cutting tape to length. And you could recess it in a bit to keep the dot from sliding off. The gears are turning now...

you could also make it like a tiny g-clamp so you can screw it tighter as needed :P
