Ive been saving up sprue to make some panels for random projects. One of the things you didnt touch on, thats most important is that the scraps / failed pieces can be just added back to the vat and reabsorbed into the sprue goo hive mind.

Great. My son has a heap of these sprues. I will rescue them into sprue goo. I just made two 1/18 scale workshop hoists for my diecast model cars using styrene sheets. I can now fit two cars in a one car space in my display cabinet. Your models are really well done. I made a mini oxy acetylene cart using kneed it epoxy for the gas cylinders, coathanger wire and matchboxy car wheels for the trolley and some electric wire for hoses. Good hobby

This is incredible! I was feeling so bad throwing away those pieces of plastic. But now I wanna make a cool ork terrain with them because of you. Thank you and you gained a sub!

WOW! Subbed. This I will do for easy to make terrain and objectives in the future. My wife and I just started wargaming and nice to know we'll have a use for the future sprues.

You, sir, are awesome! I plan to play around with cutting thin leaves and other plant structures directly from sprues but I certainly want to give this a try some time.

For your wheel mould you could have a centre column press so you don’t have to fight gravity (a circle with weight on top).

Big thank you for your work and tips with sprues

i think it's great that you are teching people another way to recycle plastic, the less waste thrown away the better.

I love all of your sprue builds! Still so amazed by the burger!

Fantastic! Now I know why I've saved all those sprues ...and so many! Didn't realise just how easy this plastic is to recycle ... acetone ... so simple! Just being able to make plastic card on demand is awesome, but the possibilities of this are endless. Thank you!

That gargant looks great! I'm eager to see how the manta turns out.

Gotta say this is really neat. As much as it comes out really rough, that in it's own right is pretty charming especially if it's a more rough and ready environment. I'll give some thought on how to use it.

You are making some amazing stuff! Question though. My wife and I are trying to make our own "sprue goo." We have had a jar of sprue bits sitting in 100% acetone nail polish remover for about three days now, and the bits have not melted down. The jar is sealed, and we haven't done anything more than shake up the jar occasionally. Is there something we are missing? Edit: Ok, I think we figured it out. The first acetone we tried had three other chemicals mix in with it. We shopped around, and found another brand with just Acetone and Denatonium Benzoate (make the chemical taste bad, so it's not accidently swallowed). We tried the second acetone and we started seeing immediate results. We should hopefully have sprue goo in a few hours!

Damn, got rid of loads of sprue recently! Brilliant video!

Quite a few years ago I made a Ork garage with a few bits of sprues as a frame and some styrene girders, some foam board and a load of carboard, and seeing what you are doing with sprues has opened my eyes for the potential of what was previously waste material, this is hobby recycling at its best. Keep up the good work. Note to self, don't throw out the next empty jar :)

Thanks for the video. I run into the issue that the aceton in my sprue gue jar is greyish and foggy

Great stuff. I bought some acetone and have started my first tentative forays into dissolving plastic. I don't have access to sprues so I am investigating what other household products are made out of high impact polystyrene. Seems like I need to look for the number 6 recycle symbol. So far I found some ice cream scoops, disposable razors and ballpoint pens. The scoops are goop. Not tried the other two yet. Thanks so much for the inspiration to make even more mess out of which comes some cool table top terrain.

Hey thats awesome, keep me updated on what melts as I keep wanting to try other things but just never get round to it lol =)

I wonder if centrifugal force was applied if you could to get better results

Have you considered injection molding with sprue gue?

Do you know if this would work with bioresin used on a 3d printer? I would love to find something I could do with the supports and failed prints

Genius!

Does the acetone within the sprue goo just evaporate or something? It doesn’t leave behind any weird residue?

Epic 👏👏👏

What’s the music from it sounds good

i'm now wondering if the sprue goo can be used in things like green stuff models.

People should send this to the Ork-Convertors. Man this is perfect. Once I get back into converting and miniatures, this will be perfect for my Nurgle 40k Army.. if only I wasnt demotivated by the forcefully released newer line of nurgle marines.

Can you put sprue goo card offcuts back into the jar?

wow....never knew about this

How do i make flat sheets out of the sprue goo? I put the acetone melted plastic on wax paper, on a cookie sheet, rolled it out, left it over night, it just stuck to both sheets of the plastic

I wish i had known about this 20-30 years ago!

Could you share what type of plastic (PETE, PVC, ABS, etc...), or what recycle number they are? Surely there's other plastics we recycle that we can upcycle like those sprues!

if i get into 3d printing, that's going to be an option for leftover thread/support thingies

so you could cast a whole figure if you have a mold?

If u have grease paper, would u be able to make something to put inside the wheel mold to keep the structure while it hardens?

It doesn't work with PLA, just trash it,

As someone who does a lot of fibre glassing you could probably just setup a vacuum to help it hold its shape while it dries out.

For complex molds -- have you considered filling the mold with acetone before adding the sprue goo? I notice that the goo seems to settle down through acetone, so it seems like you might be able to dissolve the goo into smaller details. Of course, the acetone might damage the mold as well...

@MiniatureHobbyist

I think the main problem is when the acetone evaporates it leaves void pockets so the piece might have loads of small bullet holes lol =)

"My favourite thing I built with sprues, is make a sprue burger!" *_YOU WHAT_*

where do you buy sprues that isn't for a building/miniature?

would extraction remove the bubbles? like pushing it through a nozzle or hole ala plasticine machine.

The acetone content in the sprue goo is what makes the voids. It evaporates leaving holes.

I gotta ask, since the timestamp on the thumbnail hid it, what did the rest of the text say? All I see is [Watch before Gamesworkshop 14:11]

I have a feeling that if GW saw this they would stop selling models on sprues and instead have them in the box preassembled so you can’t benefit from the sprues.

Hello i tried doing the panels. some questions. how do you let them dry? because they are so smooth. mine grot wrinkles from the paper and were not dry in the middle(maybe because I let them dry covered) I'm not sure I'm using greaseproof paper. i have baking paper I don't think its the same could it be where I'm making a mistake? because they dry and don't stick to the paper but it doesn't come so easily loose as yours. drying them between 2 paper sheets is a mistake? thank you for making these videos and inspiring so many people :D

@MiniatureHobbyist

2 жыл бұрын

Yeah to have the completely smooth you need to roll them out and then quickly put them somewhere and not touch them at all for about 12 hours, the slightest movement causes all the txture skin look, I find rolling them out the the greseproof tin tray works best as you can move it without it creasing, some sheets come out better than others =)

Jesus christ u made those with sprews. Legend.

Tried making sprue goo. My nibbly nobbly bits have been sitting in 100% acetone for a week and a half, and while they're softer, they still don't seem to be gooifying. The bits are cut very small, and there's plenty more acetone than bits. I'm not entirely sure what's going wrong.

I want to but other projects keep popping in my head lol =)

I went & bought the stuff & created a batch of goo. However each attempt to roll it flat under the wax paper has met with failure. So I have several questions I hope you can answer. 1) Are you able to use any sprue? Or is it just the GW sprues that seem to work. I have almost a powerdery effect of goo atop the other stuff from using a range of sprues including plastic model kit ones. 2) I roll out the sprue to make it flat, however when trying to peel back the paper after waiting some time, the plastic sticks to the paper & lifts, sort of like gum on your shoe. What causes this? The plastic also sticks to the cookie sheet requiring a scraper to remove. 3) I am guessing that your wanting to use non painted sprues. There are quite a few people who prime or spray their models while on the sprue. I look forward to reading your responses. Thanks

Hi Terry, I primarily build aircraft and armour from all makes and brands and I’ve used all to successfully make spruegoo. Can’t comment about the effects of paint but I’d imagine the acetone would break it down. I must experiment! All the best, Ian

I've tried making sprue goo. With acetone and they've been soacking for 24 hours and haven't dissolved or melted at all. Perhaps slightly discoloured but that's all. Any idea what I may of done wrong?

@robbiecatling8823

2 жыл бұрын

Almost certainly the acetone isn't right, if it was they would be dissolving. The stuff you have is probably very low percentage acetone, which is why it's so slow and only just starting to discolour. Try to get 100% acetone, which will be much faster.

I like to make picket fences with my left over sprews
