Undoubtedly these stink bombs were probably purchased from a gag store and then snuck into school in backpacks. Today however, there is a new solution, thanks to three 12-year-old kids who run a video production organization called BananaScience, and a 3D printing website called AMO 3D.
BananaScience has just unveiled a design and a tutorial video for 3D printing your very own stink grenade. The grenade is made up of two 3D printed parts–the body and the “spoon”–and then held together using a simple rubber O-ring and a grenade pin made out of a metal paper clip. The grenade is very easy to print, requiring no support, and can be assembled in a matter of minutes.
To detonate the 3D printed grenade, the pin is pulled, and while the spoon is held in place, the grenade is thrown at a target. If thrown correctly, the horrendous-smelling solution will land directly next to or on a desired victim.
The design files for this clever, yet quite disturbing creation can be download from Thingiverse free of charge, and then printed on virtually any 3D printer.
What do you think about this creation? Will you be 3D printing your own stink grenade anytime soon? Discuss in the 3D printed stink grenade forum thread on 3DPB.com. Check out the video below.
