DSLR Grip

<p>I noticed how very ergonomic my Ryobi cordless drill was and adjusted the camera grip to accommodate 2-finger grips and straighter lines for the other fingers. &nbsp;Right enough - it's much more ergonomic. &nbsp;Those guys at Ryobi got it right. &nbsp;Talk about reinventing the wheel!</p><p>Also reduced the infill to a constant 20% but with a 4 layer perimeter. &nbsp;This saves a lot of printing time but is still pretty indestructible. &nbsp;From 5+ hours down to 3h 46m with a Grid infill.</p><p>Also changed the scale from 100.4% to 101%. &nbsp;This achieves 100% shrinkage compensation for the Prusa recycled filament on my printer. &nbsp;The camera screw still fits perfectly and the UNC nut still retains friction so it doesn't rattle when off the tripod.</p><p>Added a recess for the rubber sheet grip (36 x 26mm inner cycle tube with a hole cut with a paper punch). &nbsp;Doesn't do much other than reduces the depth of the rubber sheet. &nbsp;Seems to be just as effective. &nbsp;You could paint this recess with several layers of latex to achieve the same effect.</p><p>Cleaning the UNC nut slot is still a pain but not too difficult with a flat needle file*.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The SolidWorks file is even messier now but if you want to play with the profile you can edit the layer called <strong>Grip and Back Shapes</strong> under <strong>Handle Profile</strong> (just below the <strong>Origin</strong> in the tree).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;* &nbsp;Bonus tip: &nbsp;Break off the file end of a spare needle file and grind it down to form a really useful scraper for cleaning plastic parts:</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:54.63%;"><img src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/257998/rich_content/eea2da7b-20ff-4134-af42-31ec188b622c/img_1431.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22a45b574f-3448-4332-aeeb-0272b73edf0c%22%2C%22w%22%3A3024%2C%22h%22%3A3024%7D"></figure><p>You can use this flat for even scraping (about 5mm) or on its side to scrape 1.25mm slots/parts. &nbsp;Really useful for plastic kit building and quick-filing of printed parts.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Regards, Paul</p>
