    Yea, no thanks. I am not stupid enough to bust open a vial of tritium on purpose O_o. Nuka-Cola Quantum anyone

    I was just hoping that it would be possible to lace it into the ABS/PLA in such a way as to make it reasonably safe (even if a ventilation hood would be required). Hey, a fella can dream can't he? That sort of dreaming started this whole industry in the first place. Anyway, thought that the possibility of adding it to an existing glow-in-the-dark formula could be achieved safely by someone who has the skills, equipment and knowledge to do it. I mean, someone somewhere is putting that stuff in the vials, I presume reasonably safely.

    - It's gaseous form (which is a bit safer than its liquid form) is used in the glow stick vials. The glow is a reaction with a phosphor element usually coated on the vial surface.

    - Chemist Question: Does liquid or powered based tritium react to phosphor in the same manner as its gaseous cousin?

    Well, this charts suggests that for liquid or solid hydrogen, you'd better suit up 'cause it's gonna be a cold day. ;-) I'm afraid we'll have to look elsewhere.

    It would be good if you add fluorescent powder. I want to print a luminous model.
