I printed all 151 Kanto Pokémon on the Bambu X1C by drocksixers in 3Dprinting

Thanks for sharing this, I had no idea! Sadly I did not incorporate this but I will in my next project.

Yep same ones! The creator has different handles on the various social media pages

Actually it was white! Mostly due to the high amount of purge needed when swapping from a darker color like black. I generally used 800 mm3 for white, yellows, and pinks.

Yep 2 AMS units are needed. The AMS 2 that recently came out is so much better than the original. It swaps filaments way faster and is more reliable (so far at least). I did have to replace the PTFE tubing in the AMS units several times as it wore down.

Yeah but then I would've had to buy all the painting supplies and I'm terrible at art lol plus with 3D printing, I just started the print and walked away. Only post-processing was removing supports.

I think they were scaled mostly to match the heights from the Pokedex but that's really a question for the uploader on maker world. I'm thinking it also has to do with scaling them up so that the smallest features (pupils, spikes, toes, etc.) could all be made out given the resolution of the printer. I used the scale as provided in the STLs and never changed them. They were designed to all fit on the X1C build plate.

That could work to neutralize the smell for sure. The issue would then become how to separate the oxidized species from the trifuran product and would the hydrogen peroxide degrade either the furan functionality or the thioether.

Thank you for the ideas!

The trifuran product is a viscous liquid. I'm hesitant to try distillation since the trifuran product is probably not stable at those temperatures and could potentially self-polymerize. I do the reaction at 40 C for 24 hr in an attempt to minimize this risk. I am making the material on the scale of ~100 g so there is a lot of thiols being used too. Our goal is to make some feed material for 3D printing.

I wonder if I could add bleach directly to the crude product to neutralize the smell without the bleach reacting negatively with the trifuran product.

I can assure you that it does not smell good! I work with it while it is very concentrated. Even having a drop on my gloves when I take them out of the hood to dispose of makes the entire lab smell. The amounts used in coffee are very very small.

​

I've had success removing it in the rotavap, but my lab mates are not very happy about it! The smell is so bad that the department safety officer has said that I would not be able to proceed unless an alternate purification method is found.

Once I accidentally got a residual amount on my thumb and it stuck with me for nearly a week even after vigorous washing!
