3d modelling / printing Magpul PDR extended grip

[Fitch]

I've been wondering whether this is a viable idea:

Problem: The PDR grip baseplate is renown to be too short for larger hands.

I was inspecting the existing PDR grip baseplate and it could be modified pretty easily by extending it. This will allow more of a grip area for your hands but also allow for a larger battery to slot into the cavity of the actual grip space.

Now I have an interest in 3d modelling and the prospect of using something like Shapeways to get a model 3d printed is quite viable.

Now the silly thing to do would be spend a load of time 3d building an extended base grip based on the existing design, only to find out that Magpul PTS are releasing an extended grip anyway.

Thoughts?

a genius idea, top way to use the new tech.... magpul will probably rob your idea, but it will take a while...

I'm sure there is a PDR grip extension already in development, or at least it is rumored. Makes sense since the grip is tiny.

An employee of PTS who posts elsewhere has stated that a grip extension is on the way at some point.

It'd certainly sell well so it would make sense for them to release one.

Nice one. Magpul sell you a percentage of a gun and sell you the rest later. Good idea.

If you can get a following of people interested, 3d printing your own may still be cheaper, i'd certainly be happy to bang out a cad file in solidworks if someone can supply me the existing base plate dimensions
