Grenade Complaint Department Take A Number Sign Plaque

This is a holder / sign for the classic joke Grenade Complaint Department Take A Number. Makes a fun gift. You can buy a replica dummy grenade online or from your local military surplus store for $15-$20. Try doing a google search for RFX Dummy Grenade to find a cast metal one like mine.

Requires no supports. Optionally you can turn on ironing. I used a thin raft just so the edges don't curl on my printer, but you may not need that. I used acrylic paint markers for the letters.

This was inspired by https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5428652, which seems to be a remix of a design that no longer exists. That one did not fit my dummy grenade, and the sign didn't fit in the base, so I made a few updates:

-Redesigned the base.
-Made an alternate base with "COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT" on it.
-Made the hole in the number tag larger. Added oval hole version which lays flatter against the grenade so it is more viewable. Shortened and angled the post. Added support for the post and grenade. Changed post to 12 mm diameter which after adding the support I found fits both of my grenades. Angled and tightened up the sign hole.
-Made a few different signs. One with an arrow and one with a finger, with and without "complaint department".

Feel free to edit a copy in tinkercad to fit your grenade or customize the wording.
