Mk2 "Pineapple" Grenade | 100% New Design (v2)

Summary

Want a realistic WW2 "Pineapple" grenade with a screw on fuze and a handle that flies off when you remove the pin?  This is a 100% completely new design that is more realistic, easier to assemble in seconds, sturdier, and super easy to take apart and swap out springs any time you want.

Spring options (for flying handle)

1. Metal Spring (recommended) – if you have a metal spring, even a pen spring will usually work, then print the metal spring profile.  It is designed to work with the Bambu Store's 0.5x7x12mm spring (linked lower on the page).  If you use a pen spring, you can usually cut it in half and get two springs.
2. Plastic Spring – if you don't have a metal spring, but still want the handle to fly off, then print the plastic spring profile.
   1. If the spring eventually wears out, just print a new one and pop it in.
   2. Don't leave the spring under tension when not using it as it will wear out much faster.
   3. Avoid Matte and Silk filament for the spring itself, Basic and Metal work better.
3. No Flying Handle - if you don't want the handle to fly off and just want a grenade model, simply print either version and don't put in a spring.

Bambu Filaments used

• Matte Yellow
• Silk+ Silver
• Matte Black
• Overture Silk Copper (Amazon link)
• Polymaker Army Green (Amazon link)

Metal Spring Assembly

1. Insert the peg into the topper, as you see below.  Make sure it comes out the bottom, if not, rotate 90 degrees.

2. Then insert the metal spring where you previously inserted the peg, as you see below.

3. Lastly, screw the top onto the grenade – doing this upside down ensures that the spring doesn't fall out of the top.

Plastic Spring Assembly

1. Insert the plastic spring into the topper.  Make sure it is coming out of the topper, if not, rotate the spring until it does.

2. Lastly, screw the top onto the grenade – this is much easier to do upside down.
