Summary
This grip is designed to hold Games Workshop Model base sizes 25mm, 32mm, 40mm and 50mm by using Shims. It is also designed to grip a standard sized straight sided wine cork in it's base. It securely clamps together with three sets of nuts and bolts (M3 nuts and M3x12 bolts). I also used washers but I don't think their necessary.
It's ergonomic size and shape make it comfortable to hold and it weighs next to nothing so it doesn't add unnecessary strain to your wrist.

Notes:
Print the two handle halves flat on the bed with supports. I printed in ABS and used 0.15mm layer thick discs on the corners of the handles to combat warping. For the spacers/shims I printed those the right way up on the bed.
For Supports I used a 0 layer Z contact with a wide interface space of 0.8mm. Support Space was 0.5mm
Post-Printing
3D Printed Shims hold the model securely in place. With no shims in place the grip can hold a 50mm base.
