Yet another grip design

On this iteration, I went away from designing the grip as two separate pieces in favor of printing one piece.  The advantage here is that I can easily mirror features from one side to the other, as well as get a good feel for the grip without having to join two pieces.

I added traction features to the sides and front of the grip.  I also enlarged the bosses that go between the fingers.  The grip needs to be more comfortable so I increased the radius of curvature all the way around.  The rear curvature needs to change more so it's more like the Glock 17.

Next I will add the hole in the bottom for the battery magazine, and try to come up  with an eject mechanism and way to add a custom spring.
