I’ve come to find out DEFCAD has ripped my Projectile Dysfunction 15mm design and is selling it on their site. What can I do about it?

DEFCAD told you they could monetize your file that you licensed under CreativeCommons-Attribution-NonCommercial-4.0 Intl?
Disclaimer: IANAL.
Your artwork is being used to incentivize users to pay DEFCAD's subscription fee in order to access the file. That's clear violation of 1.i in the text of your license which defines NonCommercial as "not primarily intended for or directed towards commercial advantage or monetary compensation". Using your design to entice users into paying a subscription for access is absolutely using it for monetary compensation. That's like arguing that GamePass advertising that they have Halo is noncommercial use of the Halo IP.
They're either seriously mistaken or willfully malicious. Getting into a legal pissing match with them is signing up for a lot, but you can also submit a DMCA at Cloudflare -- their CDN -- if they're electing to give you the runaround.
