Earbud Holder Redux - [Rotated for better printing]

Been running into problems with this model (not in the model itself) but rather the orientation the STL's force it to be printed in. You see, once it's printed, to get the two covers to clip onto the body, you have to flex them. Because of the orientation that it's printed in, you're flexing it right along a print line. When you do that, in every attempt I had made, the tab snaps off. Printing it along the horizontal plane allows you to flex it perpendicular to the printed plane, which prevents it from snapping off. Simply changing the orientation corrected this problem. The print doesn't come out quite as slick, but a bit of sanding of the edges where it sat on the print bed makes it perfect. I've included the main body in the files as well for convenience sake.
