Basically just wanted my ME Super to be a little more comfortable to hold without spending a fortune as you always end up doing with anything that has to do with photography. So, I did what anyone would do and spent the next several hours designing, printing, and testing this design to make sure it fits perfectly, looks decent, and actually IS comfortable (to me at least and anyone with smaller hands).

The grip clears the film loading door, clutch button, timer lever (at least on ME and ME Super, not sure on others - let me know,) the stock sling attachment points and the trapezoidal ring. Not sure about any circular ones but there's probably enough space for most.

I really recommend printing the actual grip as close to 100% infill as you can so everything feels rigid and safe for your beloved camera.

Entire design has at most 45° overhangs so if your printer can handle that then you don't need supports.

Screw should be printed at 100% infill preferably with the fan turned down a little to improve layer adhesion.

Alternatively, you could use any other 1/4 - 20 UNC screw as long as its length is up to 1/2" but you MAY need a washer that way.

If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations definitely leave a comment and I'll try to address it and hopefully we can make this design better together.

Any issues you see in the old pictures I've already addressed (chamfer between lens and grip, slight uneven reliefs around clutch button pit.)

If anyone would like a model without the angled grip and just straight let me know.
