Description
-This is a ergonomic grip I've been working on for my Chiappa Rhino revolver.
It's ment to be printed with flexible filaments, and deform a bit to fit snuggly to the frame. (Printed mine with NinjaFlex and 10% cubic infill. It was sturdy enough, but the thicker parts did act a bit like an airbag)
-I wouldn't recommend printing it out of hard plastic unless you are willing to spend a lot of time with a dremel.
-There are two versions I've uploaded:
Smooth: all sides are smooth, so you will most likely want add some stippling yourself. Otherwise it will be like holding a bar of soap after a few minutes :P
Leather: added a leather pattern to the mesh to improve grip. (See photo how post-print looks)
-Note that the photos are of an earlier version, that had a finger groove at the top. Which was removed since it was rather pointless. The photos does show how the "leather" texture looks after printing.
-Since this grip was designed to fit my small hands, it will probably not fit yours perfectly.
Though, the people in my club have said it feels pretty nice to hold.
Printer Brand:
Prusa

No

I would recommend going over the overhangs with an abrasive buffing wheel with a dremel, to melt/smooth those areas out.
If you are using black NinjaFlex, it will make the finish a bit grey and matte though.
