Nerf Falconfire grip replacement

thingiverse

Here's my design of a grip replacement for the nerf falconfire! The scales fit over the shell snugly once you remove the orange scales. I found the original grip incredibly uncomfortable and wobbly, so my design has a nice place for your palm, as well as more finger space and a longer distance from the trigger to back of the grip. I added some knurling on the back for more grip, but the sides are currently plain, so you can add whatever decoration or patterns there using the STEP file. - I print mine with the sides of each scale lying on the print bed, as that's the quickest and doesn't need too many supports. I spent a while experimenting with different orientations, but my printer isn't the best and so I had a lot of failures, as the part is thin with a lot of overhangs. However I hope someone with a bit more printing experience than me will come up with a nicer way of printing them (maybe vertically with modelled in supports), which is why I'm sharing the files as they are. In the photos you can see my prints installed straight off the printer, and then after about an hour of wet sanding to clean up the print bed finish, supported areas and layer lines. - To install them properly you will need to trim a very small piece off each side of the grey grip piece - highlighted with green sharpie in the photo. I just used a penknife to get the area flush; this will allow the back of the grip to close up nicely. - Please don't try to sell this design without first contacting me here, or more easily on instagram @herbmeister_nerf , or various nerf discord servers. In anticipation of some people thinking I am undermining commercially available falconfire grips, this is absolutely not my intention. I started designing these parts well before anyone else had publicly displayed anything similar, and it was always my intention to make mine public, so I'm not going to change my course of action! I'm sure that there are some more refined files available already, however I believe these are the only ones that cover the whole grip with a new profile for additional comfort, without needing to be printed in TPU.
