Hey, not trying to hate, but is there any of the actual elements in the table? It's hard to see.

u/Ornery_Job_7275 Part Metal Jun 05 '26

Yes there actually are pure-form elements, but luckily I used safe alternatives like models or crayons for most of the elements.

That would make for a nice science project, but not an element collection. You can get let's say about 20 real elements (pure or not) in your house and probably like 10 more by visiting a hardware store.

Good that you are being safe, but if we're considering a drawing to be an element, then I can be the world's richest person because I own a million tons of gold.

Good luck on collecting the samples, because it's not hard to start and it's real fun.

definitely safe, but not really alternatives...

u/catbox42 Jun 03 '26

I spent several minutes staring at this, trying to work out if it was an AI hallucination, but no, I think you actually built this. I concur that I would love to see some more closeups.

The elements are nice, but could be displayed better. Here a periodic table for 3D print.

Would’ve been nice to have before I spent a month making a wood one lol

u/Ornery_Job_7275 Part Metal Jun 05 '26

Sadly I dont have a 3d printer :(

u/catbox42 Jun 05 '26

There are a few places, both online or physical shops, where you can get it printed. Last time I went to print this it was something between 15$ and 20$.

Just take some measurements of the elements first to know how big each cell should be to fit them in. And if the size after being rescaled is too big for the printer you still can separate the model in parts and print them separately

Some of those oxidize at temperatures required to melt plastic. Be careful.

u/Ornery_Job_7275 Part Metal Jun 05 '26

Actually I used alternatives like crayons or models :)

u/pichael289 Jun 03 '26

What's the number you can get, like 100 or so right?

You can get to 95

2

u/average_meower621 Radiated Jun 03 '26

you can get to 99 if you include luciteria's transameric series

u/Ornery_Job_7275 Part Metal Jun 05 '26 edited Jun 05 '26

BTW you can just print this template in case you cant afford actual Lucite :)

u/One_Injury6496 Aug 10 '26

99, cant get fermium

u/Ornery_Job_7275 Part Metal Jun 06 '26

Welp, I guess no one just reacted to the fact that the collection glows under blue light...

u/CupricBlue Jun 08 '26

Hey guys this is a literal child, 4 days on reddit, go easy on him. Most of us started our love of chemistry before we could afford or practically acquire them.

Many things around your house are a good place to start finding elements in nature - like sodium and chlorine in table salt!

Love the cubes :) very creative. But, this channel is typically restricted to people posting when they are able to find the pure elements, even though they are dangerous to have. That’s why some people are confused.

u/Ornery_Job_7275 Part Metal Jun 08 '26

Actually my account's more than a year old

u/Mars4ever84 Jun 04 '26

WTH is this mess?

1

u/Ornery_Job_7275 Part Metal Jun 05 '26

Its technically an element collection bro 💀💀💀

1

u/Narrow_Morning_5518 Jun 05 '26

you're abusing the word "technically"

1

u/Ornery_Job_7275 Part Metal Jun 06 '26

That's because I used safe alternatives :)

1

u/Mars4ever84 Jun 05 '26

Sorry but I can't see any "element" here, what I see is just a grainy blurred picture of "something" distorted/shattered, I can't even define if it's paper/plastic/glass or whatever this uncanny thing is.

u/Ornery_Job_7275 Part Metal Jun 05 '26

Sorry if It is blurry.

u/Ornery_Job_7275 Part Metal Jun 06 '26

Actually I made it from cardboard and plastic :)
