I turned the nuclide chart into a piece of 3D printed wall art.
This chart shows the half life of each isotope from the periodic table. On the vertical axis is the number of protons and on the horizontal is the number of neutrons. The height of each column corresponds to the half life. The height is not on a linear or logarithmic scale but rather a custom scaling to give a more interesting shape. The different color sections correspond to the length of the half life. The half lives are: dark blue – less than a second, light blue – less than a minute, yellow – less than a day, orange – more than a day, black – stable. This is about 8ft long from end to end. It took about a month to print.
If anyone is interested in getting a custom one, I am selling them on Etsy. https://www.etsy.com/listing/4397642068/customizeable-3d-nuclide-chart

The link you provided is your internal shop link, so that’s not gonna work. I did search on Etsy and found your $1500 listing. little pricy my friend. Albeit cool work.
Someone likes Bobby Broccoli. I approve
Very cool.
Anyone know the explanation for that giant blue gap after the last stable (Pb / lead). Seems like it bucks the pattern so there is probably something interesting there.
No just print the island of stability and I’ll be REALLY impressed!
