Wrap around grips for an Automag Benchmark 45 frame.
I started this project because I was getting a hot spot on the inside web of my thumb because of a fairly sharp corner on the Benchmark frame. I added "wings" to the back side of the grips to follow the curve of the grip and fill in this area to make a smoother transition. I also took this as an opportunity to experiment with modeling finger grooves and more organic smooth curves. The grip fits my hand perfectly and feels really nice.
Grip_Benchmark_Left and Grip_Benchmark_Right are the grip split into two halves. There is extra material where the two halves meet up when installed. This will need to be filed/sanded to fit. This is to accommodate printer/layer height differences. This way there won't be any gap between the halves. These need to be printed with supports.
Grip_Benchmark_Complete is the grip as one solid piece standing up. The various versions have different widths between the two sides, to accommodate
