The goal of this project was to build the throwable LED-"Grenade" used by Jim Holden in the series The Expanse.

  • Print two main structures in Gray/Black PLA.
  • Print 12 translucent/transparent PLA inserts.
  • Optional: Print the TPU protective covers.
  • Glue the parts together to form 2 half shells.
  • Glue LEDs on the inside of the PLA inserts. 
  • Add wiring and a power source. (i used a 3V lithium C123 battery)

 

This is only the first Prototype, a new Version with charging port, magnetic Trigger, easier LED-mount and other feature is in the project pipeline.
