Summary

Have you ever wished to print a camera grip instead of buying a camera grip? This is it. Standard 1/4"-20 thread 3/8" length hex bolts accepted. Thumbwheel included with print (so you don't have to tighten everything by hand or with a wrench). Insert screw (m2x8) optional but highly recommended.

This is okay for most peoples' hands, and I haven't found it to be an issue.  This also slightly increases the chance for print failure due to collision (overhands tend to warp upwards); be careful when printing the bottom half of the grip.<br>(this is a minor word of caution, and it is very acceptable to do something else while this is printing)</p></div>
