Olympus E-M5 mkII camera grip

The original design of this grip was created by Scott Garriott, and you can view his model at https://grabcad.com/library/e-m5-mkii-diy-camera-grip-1. I've been using the EM5mk2 camera since 2015, and my friend asked me to share my custom grip design. I made some adjustments to the original design: 1. The bottom of Garriott's design is 6 mm thick, which prevents many tripod plates from fitting properly. My revised design reduces the thickness to 2 mm, but this will make it more fragile. To compensate for this, I recommend printing with a high-strength material. 2. I increased the thickness of the "front bumper" to ensure a secure fit. 3. I added a groove for the thumb to provide better grip and control. 4. I incorporated slots for micro SD cards and micro SIMs. Please note: 1. The grip fits tightly around the camera, providing a snug and secure hold. 2. Due to PLA's harder texture compared to the EM5ii coating, some flaking has occurred on my camera's body. However, this issue could be mitigated with the use of suede as a buffer. Ultimately, the most important aspect of this grip design is its ability to fit comfortably in my hand.
