Periodic Table of the Elements

prusaprinters

<p>This Periodic Table of the Elements has been designed as flash tiles to overlay on the official 2016 IUPAC version (available from <a href="https://iupac.org/what-we-do/periodic-table-of-elements/">https://iupac.org/what-we-do/periodic-table-of-elements/</a>). Another accurate version is available at Wikipedia (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_education#/media/File:Periodic_table_large.svg">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science\_education#/media/File:Periodic\_table\_large.svg</a>). This "thing" serves as a studying aid for all students of science in general and of chemistry in particular.</p> <p>The complete list of elements from 1 Hydrogen to 118 Oganesson are now named for the very first time. For our own copy, we laser engraved a stretched version of the IUPAC Periodic Table of the Elements on a bamboo cutting board using an Epilog Helix Laser Cutter. We then 3D printed each type of elements in a different colour with filaments from a different leading manufacturer as follows:</p> <p>Alkali Metals - Red - MakerBot True Red PLA<br/> Alkaline Metals - Orange - ESUN Orange PLA<br/> Other Metals - Light Green - Polymaker LulzBot Green PLA<br/> Transition Metals - Yellow - BotFeeder Macaron Yellow PLA<br/> Lanthanoids - Light Purple - ColorFabb Lila PLA/PHA<br/> Actinoids - Hot Pink - Materio3D Fuchsia Pink PLA<br/> Metalloids - Light Blue - FormFutura Light Blue PLA<br/> Nonmetals - Blue - Printrbot Translucent Blue PLA<br/> Halogens - Brown - Proto-Pasta Aromatic Rose HTPLA<br/> Noble Gases - Dark Purple - BEEVERYCREATIVE BEESUPPLIES Violet PLA</p> <p>We used both MakerBot and LulzBot 3D printers for this project.</p> <p>Enjoy learning all about what our Universe is made out of!</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Unassociated tags: Periodic Table<br/> Category: Learning</p>
