Excellent. Remember your early videos - good to have a tinker. As I evolved with rubber moulds I realised plaster of paris is cheap and easier/safer to use than resin, or home made OO-ey goey stuff.
I really loved how this looked when you finished it. It reminded me of those super rusted hulks of sunken ironclad ships. Could you make an underwater diorama with everything suspended in transparent resin?
3d printed stuff has something in it that retards certain silicone from curing. I think there are other you tube videos that can tell you how to sort it out.
Why didn't you just make the molds with your 3D printer instead of the positives you made the object you want to mold those pieces there. that you put in the acrylic boxes into something. like Tinker CAD. Turn them into negative pieces and then cut them out of a box. and then print that box. You would have a rigid, durable mold that you could use. over and over again. And since the polystyrene contracts as it dries, it would pop out pretty easily. Save you from having to buy the latex no
As your comment is a bit difficult to read, I am guessing you are asking why he did not print a mold from the object instead of making a mold from rubber. The simple answer is strength and reuse. The rubber molds can flex and hold the shape to cast almost indefinitely (with exception to resin casting). A 3D printed mold is too rigid for any kind of cast made that has no flex to it. Basically, if you are making a solid object, you don't want a solid mold as you may break the mold or the object to remove it. Sprue-Goo does shrink as you said, so you run the risk of the object breaking as it shrinks and dries if in a rigid mold.
@@RvnKnight Yes. Maybe if you've never used TinkerCAD But I've done this procedure with Sprue goo. and it works usually. as the Sprue goo dries, it pops out of the rigid mold. At least that's been my experience. Mind you, I've only done it two or three times.

That Burger is was a classic. Chuffed to know sprue gue making a return. Really creative. 👍🏻👍🏻

I love these nibbly nobbly bits videos :)
Oooo! The Goo is back for Turkeys time! Enjoy ALL the holidays.
This looks like it would work great for some nurgle terrain
I remember (fondly) your sprue-built 'Ork Battlewagon' - I would like to see a similar project, perhaps a 'Kill-Rig'?
Happy Thanksgiving man.

I wonder if the uv resin has Sulphur in it. I know that will mess with silicon curing.
its not your mixing or the expiredate its the resin from the print you need to seal it beforehand.
