Thank you for your feedback! The cables that you have might be larger than what I designed for. Scaling the size to be a little bit larger might work better.

So it’s a great clean looking cable clip and I spotted that one notch is a little bigger than the other for the brake hose so kudos for that in the design, however after a few prints in PETG and PLA they don’t really hold very well onto the brake hose, when there is movement from the bars turning the clip pops off the brake hose but stays attached the gear cable housing. In the last photo you can see a crease mark on the inside of the clip where the brake hose sits

If you use more than one on each cable, I have found that it works a bit better. I have also noticed that some cable layouts do not work well, and it is sometimes possible to bend the cable into a way that works better. I might also try to design an updated version that can have the cable clamps locked onto the cables.
