This 3D printed replica meticulously recreates the iconic German Stielhandgranate, often referred to as the "Potato Masher," using durable and environmentally friendly PLA plastic. Ideal for historical displays, (cosplay), or as a unique collector's item, this non-functional replica captures the distinctive form of this historic hand grenade.
Crafted layer by layer using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing technology, the replica showcases the characteristic cylindrical head mounted atop a hollow handle. Details such as the textured surface of the head and the base cap where the pull cord would historically be located are rendered to provide a visually accurate representation.
Being 3D printed from PLA (Polylactic Acid), this replica is lightweight and exhibits a smooth to slightly visible layer lines finish, inherent to the 3D printing process. PLA is a biodegradable thermoplastic derived from renewable resources like corn starch, making it a more sustainable choice.
Features:
- Authentic Visual Design: Faithfully replicates the shape and key external features of the historical Stielhandgranate.
- PLA Construction: Made from PLA plastic, offering a lightweight and rigid structure.
- 3D Printed Detail: Shows potential for fine details replicating the original's components.
- Non-Functional: This is a static replica intended for display purposes only and contains no explosive components or working parts.
- Durable (for display): PLA provides sufficient durability for handling and display in indoor environments.
