Summary
This thing was made with Tinkercad. Edit it online https://www.tinkercad.com/things/5mQwKwV5QJ8
This clip or wedge will secure ratchet straps to prevent fraying in the wind as you drive. Just secure the ends to the tightened strap and force the wedge to maintain it. Use a cable tie to keep both parts together. Print in vertical position using a brim for stability. This position provides greater strength in tension force applied against the print layering. Can be sized to accommodate larger size straps

How I Designed This
I used a wedge shape interfering as you insert the wedge into the clip. But the angles are not equal. That's by design.
Custom Section
If your printer can do a decent job of printing fillets instead of square corners, that will give it better strength. By beefing up or re-sizing up may also increase strength. Do not push too hard on the wedge. Just enough to secure the strap.
