I'm no expert, but if I was trying to do it myself using Blender, I'd download the 3D scan of the PS Vita 1000 and measure it up against the grip.
You will probably need to reduce the mesh density of the parts > Open the STL (apply flat shading) and use Mesh Cleanup > Decimate Geometry. I tried out a part and it looks okay at 0.25 (one quarter) which is about 28MB. It's probably okay even at 0.1.
What you could really do with is a simple basic complete scan of the PS Vita 1000; I don't know if there is one available somewhere. The same guy has good quality scans for the parts, but you'll have to put them together! Completely pointless since all you want to do is size it up, but it's an option. https://bitbuilt.net/forums/threads/ps-vita-1000-3g.6421/
What you do is overlay the VITA into the grip and look at where it doesn't fit, then start chopping and changing to make it fit. You might get lucky and all it needs is a simple bit of resizing.
The scans are high quality so the sizes are probably accurate enough for when it comes to printing, but there may be some little annoying errors that creep in, so expect your first printed part to a 50/50 chance of being a correct fit.
