Dan Robinson Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Some kind of Bluetooth tracking ability might be cool too. Saving time hunting for the little blighter after a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) Can you still get those keyring things to find your keys which beeps when you whistle? EDIT: Yes, something like THIS Would need electronics integration so that it only activates/listens after going off.

Madhouse Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I like this a lot, no messing around with primers, you can use it as many times as you like and there's all the customisation you could want from a grenade. Hell you could even have CQB / outdoor volume settings which would overcome my reservations about grenades & indoor spaces. Could you not have some lights on it that start flashing once the audio has finished and then stop on whatever reset method you have? or an audible beep, or both? That would certainly help in finding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly something I can look into, adding a beeping sound after a few minutes would be easy as its just an mp3 file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaylordofwaargh Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Adding to the general "this looks really cool" crowd. I like the idea a lot, so much so I now have a new "saving space" in my account. I would like to see the glow in dark standard.... Size is good as well. It is far too easy to lose a "quake" style in a woodland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After making the prototype from parts the next mission is to source the same internals for a decent price and have them all shipped to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jez_Armstrong Posted March 26, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) So testing today went really well! Everytime I threw it into a room it was greater with a "Fuck, run, Grenade" and a few "wait, WTF was that" It was definitely loud enough that it could be heard inside the room and from outside so you knew it went off and the fact it was reusable just by picking it up, pressing the button and throwing it again made clearing rooms a breeze The only downside was as I printed the shell at 20% infil the threaded part did snap, which was fixed with tape to continue but I only printed this case as a test to fit things in, so I'll print the next one at 100% infil so it's solid and the design will most likely change to incorporate the final internals One of the buttons took a beating so I'll design it to be more sunken in and flat so it doesn't take any damage but I wasn't light with it I was hurling it around doors so to last a whole morning was a good test in my eyes! I also wrapped it in door frame sticky foam (draft excluder foam?) and electrical tape so it's softer and obsorbs alot of impact Edited March 26, 2023 by Jez_Armstrong Dan Robinson, EDcase, Tackle and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
