Lickable Periodic Table – Educational 3D Printed Display (No MMU Required)

This project is a humorous yet educational 3D printable periodic table, designed to visualize how bad of an idea it is to lick certain elements.
It’s meant as a workshop display, conversation starter, and gentle reminder that chemistry and tongues do not mix.

The model consists of a base plate and individual element tiles, grouped into four clearly defined safety categories.

Category Meaning

The table is divided into four clearly labeled groups:

1. Sure, go ahead
   Elements that are generally harmless in solid form.

2. Maybe… but don’t make it a habit
   Low-risk elements that are still not meant for human contact.

3. Absolutely not
   Toxic or dangerous materials.

4. Instant regret / Fatal
   Elements that are genuinely hazardous or lethal.

This is educational humor, not a survival guide.
