RGD-5 Grenade Prop (Escape from Tarkov)

I mean, if this video doesn't convince you, then nothing will.

*The print shown in the pictures and video has been painted to look more like the original. I didn't have the correct shade of green at hand.

Printing Instructions

The spoon has to be printed with supports. I recommend organic/tree supports with a support angle of 15° (only on build plate). 

Everything else can be printed without supports and in the supplied orientation. 

Assembly Instructions

The top and bottom shells can be press fit together with the help of the aligner T-piece. The fuse can be inserted in the hole in the top shell. You can hide the seam of the shells by using the aligner to align the two shell halves and rotating the fuse in its socket so that the spoon will cover the seam. I recommend applying glue to these parts once you aligned everything to your liking. 

There are two versions of the spoon. The relaxed version is intended to stay on the grenade for long periods of time, for example when using it decoratively. The tensioned version is intended for fidgeting or demonstration purposes and will fly off when pulling the pin. Prolonged time under tension will degrade the material. 

Insert the forked end of the spoon under the small pin in the top of the fuse and push it down until it sits flush with the grenade. Secure it with the pin by inserting the rounded end through the pin hole through the fuse. Attach the pull ring to the pin. I highly recommend using a metal key ring.

Pins made from PLA will usually break when pulling them, while pins made from PETG can be reused (bend them straight and push them through the fuse in a rotating motion, then bend them back into shape).

Fun Instructions

• Release spoon.
