Battle grips project

[Nish]

Very Nice!

[Jonnydread]

It's always weird to stumble on a thread where one's odor gets referenced. Why does this keep happening to me!? *cries into salmony cabbage*

[SETHZILLA!]

I'm on board for a set of PGP grips when you're ready Rainmaker.

[Chuck E Ducky]

Oh man how am I just finding this thread. I would love a set of these for my 007.

[Nish]

Rainmaker got his name from how much the lack of an update here makes me cry.

[JonM]

These are looking great! Let me know if you need any help with this.

[THE_Incredible_Hulk]

Are these ambidextrous?

[Rainmaker]

Sorry guys. This one has slipped to the back burner so many times that I have to put sunscreen on my back to keep from getting burned 😅

It's still on my radar though.

And yeah, ambidextrous would be a simple as pushing the "mirror" button on the CAD file 😁

[Nish]

Psst. Check the frame it goes on... Might be more to it than that. At least for Nelson the frame will need a minor tweak

[XEMON]

The dropout part yes, but the panels themselves might fit ... They sure looks more confi than the stock ones ...

[Rainmaker]

Nish ah, yes, you are correct good sir! As far as the grip goes, I can just mirror it, but yeah, that frame will have to have the metal bit cut out on the right hand side. Good catch

[Rainmaker]

Alright, I tweaked up the CAD a bit more to try to resolve the issues I had with the first print.

I don't really have the printer time available right now... Anyone have an Idle printer and a 007 that they would like to try these out?

[XEMON]

I might have the printer time.
If not today it will be early next week.

[JonM]

I've got a 007 and an idle printer too.

[XEMON]

Thanks Rainmaker for letting me try it out.

Print failed (miserably may I say ...), but fit looks good:


Printing another one:

[XEMON]

Looks and feels sweet!
my printer always print a bit small, so I'll print them a hair bigger, they should fit much better ...

Here is some teaser:

[Chuck E Ducky]

That’s hot! Can I get one in red?

[Alexndl]

You use the in grip 12g as an expansion chamber? 😋

Very cool!

[XEMON]

:P its just the spare.
Those are so confi!

[JonM]

How goes the project? Please let me know if you need any help testing out the updated model.

[durandal]

Will there be an SLS version?

[BrickHaus]

This is super cool. I am curious if 12ies will ocassionally stick if you used the in grip pierce pin.

Makes me want a 007 again.

Nice print work. As a greenhorn printer. I know a little more of the work it likely took to get a good print on this.

Can I be onboard for some styled for PGP? Have a few brass guns that need some.
