Help me turn this .sat CAD file into grips for Nummechs

[mercpb]

ZDSPB has an ACIS SAT file for a nummech grip (one side)
Link to file

I'd like to make a pair of these grips in 3DP, or even do a small aluminum/acrylic with sendcutsend. Nummech frames are a really funky shape and most 45 grips look like butt

At minimum that'll require a file conversion, and a mirrored object for the other side grip.


.... Anyone have tips or recommendations on tackling this, that don't involve my learning CAD software. I tried FreeCad & onshape for the conversion but the learning curve is real & FreeCAD won't export if you start from SAT

I still got a month left on my student Solidworks license. Opened the file just fine, though its a fixed shape, take a little work to get dimensions off of it. What format you need it converted too? .dxf, .stl, .3mf, .amf, .prt?

you're a gentleman and (literally) a scholar - honestly I'm too green to know the right answer= but 3MF looks to be reliable for 3DP

Bonus points to get a STEP or DWG file, in case it winds up in CNC/waterjet

happy to send a pint to your venmo, or I pay it forward if I do a short run of grips

Some issue saving as a DWG. I mirrored the part so we'd have a matched pair, but for some reason when I try to export to DWG it can only do one. I'll work on that when I have time...

EDIT: Never mind, fixed it. The DWG is now of a pair.

Meanwhile....

EDIT AGAIN: sharing should be turned on for the above google drive link. Let me know if it doesn't work.

Fubarius you're the MAN duder, let me know if I can shoot you some dollaroos, or paintball swags, etc. Elsewise I'll just pay it forward to someone if these grips wind up working out
Granted the grips are for a bougie frame, Nummech frame owners dont need our help hah

.dxf added to the drive.

I only have solidworks loaded on my computer at the moment, let me know if these things are working in other programs since I can't test them.
