M26 Lemon Grenade | 100% New Design (v2)

Summary

Want a realistic Korean and Vietnam War era M26 Frag 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.

Metal Spring Version Assembly

1. Insert the tiny peg/plunger into the grenade topper. 

2. Then insert the metal spring the same way you inserted the plunger/peg.

3. Lastly, screw the top onto the grenade body, doing this upside down is much easier. (this graphic shows the flashbang, but its the same style of assembly for this lemon grenade too)

Plastic Spring Version Assembly

1. Insert the printed peg into the topper, make sure it sticks out the bottom, if not turn it until it does.

4. Lastly, screw the top onto the grenade body.  Its much easier to do upside down. (this graphic shows the flashbang, but its the same style of assembly for this lemon grenade too)
