Small and Smaller Size Mask ear savers (REMIX) with lanyard clip and mask retaining clip on one side by registeredthing

Use these at your own risk. These are small versions of mask savers and should fit kids, but if you use these for yourself or on kids it is at your own risk. Please be responsible with them and do not use these on young kids that cannot be properly supervised. Like all small plastic things they could be a choking hazard!
Made this in response to tinkerbittany's request in the following thread:

This is remix of the following designs:
esqube's design here:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4302727
and sniffle's design here:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4251460
There are 4 versions, really 2 versions in 2 sizes:
SMALL-ear-saver-with-clip-V10-with-clip.stl
This has a clip (for clipping to a lanyard) and was based on tinkerbittany's drawing.
SMALL-ear-saver-with-clip-V10-no-clip.stl
Basic earsaver without any clip
SMALLER-ear-saver-with-clip-V10-with-clip.stl
Same as the larger one, but 12mm shorter.
SMALLER-ear-saver-with-clip-V10-no-clip.stl
Same as the larger one, but 12mm shorter.
Both versions have a design on one side which is intended to retain the mask straps so it will stay with the mask.
I printed the "SMALL" version with the clip, with 0.2mm layers and 20% (gyroid) infill. I also tried the "SMALL" version on my big noggin and it was actually pretty comfortable, I now use it several times a week. This was not tested on humans with smaller heads, aliens with big heads or on animals for that matter, so if you make one let me know how they work out. I tested the lanyard clip using a split ring on my keychain since I don't have a lanyard to test with, and the clip worked as intended and does not come off. But if I tweak the clip a bit to one side I can take it off the ring pretty easily. I may make another version with a different kind of clip, but for now I think this will work so I removed it from work in progress.
STEP files are included for easy remixing.
