M18 Smoke 1:1 Replica, Spring loaded Lever! (old and new Style)

thingiverse

I undertook one of my largest projects yet, wondering why replicas of the M18 were not already available on Thingiverse. So I decided to create it myself. I made a concerted effort to replicate the original M18 Smoke exactly, using only pictures and other 3D models as references. The goal was to match the size of the originals as closely as possible (hopefully). The following colors are currently available: red, yellow, violet, and green. Each color comes in two styles - the new version currently in use (to my understanding) and the older versions used during the Vietnam War (again, to my understanding). I am not an expert on military matters; please correct me if I'm mistaken. In due time, I plan to create all other versions of the M18 smoke grenades, such as the AN-14M INCEN TH3. However, these will be uploaded separately and a link to this text will be provided when they are ready. I added an extra feature that allows users to attach a pen spring to the head and lever. When the safety pin is pulled, the lever pops off just like on the real thing. A little note: the M18 body is hollow inside, so please do not print the main body with supports. Sorry for my poor English skills. If you'd like to support my work, I accept donations through PayPal (https://www.paypal.me/StriK3FoRC3Creator).
