I was inspired by the P10 Roni from Rainbow Six Siege to make this mod. In the game, you can attach either a vertical grip or an angled grip to the gun. The funny thing is that both are actually modelled after the same folding foregrip. The "angled grip" is locked at 45 degrees and the "vertical grip" is locked at 90 degrees.

I thought this would be a pretty interesting mod to do to the Modulus Folding Grip and make the grip lock at 45 degrees. So that's what I did.

The Folding Grip locks because of this orange plastic tab (which is what the orange button engages). This tab goes into these two rectangular holes on the grip that are positioned 90 degrees from each other. What I did was remove a bit of plastic between the two, essentially creating my own locking hole, roughly at a 45 degree angle (doesn't need to be exact). So now in addition to the two rectangles, the tab will also lock into this new hole between them. Now the grip will lock at an intermediate position, giving it the option of an angled grip. It's a little wobbly when you push it forward, but fortunately it's very stable when you push against it, which makes it an excellent handstop for blasters. I think I will need to make the hole deeper so the tab locks correctly.

This all being said, I still don't like this grip because of the ribs. I mainly made this as a proof of concept. It would be cool to see some more ergonomic 3D printed replacement grips, which also have this intermediate position.
