After making my own  1911 grips I got looking around and found this on Thingiverse.
Credit goes to benwc81 for the CAD model.

Since I had the printer already warmed up i thought what the hell, i'll give this model a try.
looks pretty cool with the recessed text. So now I'll not forget what Caliber and model it is 😁

3D Printed 1911 grips

CAD drawings  brought into the CUBE software to prepare for printing


I finished the CAD drawings last night for scales for my 1911. So this morning i fired up the Cube3 print software and set up a build.
I wanted them to REALLY stand out so i printed in Neon Orange. the print started around 5am and they were done before my Friday conf call was finished (9AM). I just took them off the build plate and they fit perfectly.
what do you think, maybe Neon Green next round?



Hot of the printer - took about 2 1/2 hours start to finish


Fit was perfect - no adjustments or fitting required
Looks great to me
