Probably not enough demand to warrant the 3D printing route.
The clips are fine until you require door handle removal. You have to defeat the wedge by deflecting it - and snapping the wedge in the process.
Without disturbance they are totally reliable.
Door handle removal is quite rare - apart from painting, not many reasons to go there.
New coat hooks (that look OE) and rear washer jets would be my top pleads to the amazing 3D printing community.
We are in a new world with the 3D printing revolution and I doff my hat to the creators of parts we have thus far.

the rear nozzle is conundrum, as the nozzle itself is metal, meaning its got be pressed in somehow....

Coat hooks are now available! (At least the delicate rubber covers for them are, assuming that’s what you’re after?)
Ria Gerritse sells them on Facebook.

Its simply drilling the handle, removing the wedge clips and using nut, nylocs & washers...
If it slips again, other than tightening further, is a Mk2 version which will be an infill piece where the wedge clip used to be... "A" in the attached below...
Like everything in this diary, nothing is tested for daily use, so I can't promise any permanent fixes.
Oh for some new wedge clips!
Regards,
J.
