Worblapie II

[@charleeneyates7228]

Love this more than even your first on the worbla project. I think I've fallen in love with a younger man! Great video- get into the "commercial business", voice-overs for studios, film-making, any theater-art programs (if you are not already in one or all of them)! I started messing around with all kinds of such strange things 35 years ago, but had a daughter to raise by myself, and no internet, and a career in computers with 80 hour work weeks. Still playing after all these years. Who would have thought that my Friendly Plastic pellets would be now 585% of what they cost "back then"? Great work! Will share-found a new friend (much younger) into cosplay and will share with her. THANK YOU!!

[@danielledasilva5544]

...."this is exactly what it looks like..." (insert giggle here) I need to visit Sweden - if only to buy you a drink for being awesome!

[@britinahays]

You beautiful beautiful creature! Ah! My pocketbook thanks you from its shrinking little heart. Wonderful videos, hurmorus and informational :) Thank you for Giving us your time!

[@ScionofDoom]

This and the original video were awesome to watch. you sir are an informative and hilarious mad genius of experimentation I tip my hat to you, well I would if I wore hats

[@Orionleo]

Not sure why you don't get more views. Really informative stuff and you're not boring to watch.

[@catherinetipton4375]

I know you already get many thanks, but still THANKS FOR POSTING!!!! I'm working on a huge armor cosplay and it would be $$$$$$$$$ to pay for!!! But now i can actually try to get this done in a month!!!! XD PROCRASTINATORS UNITE... Tomorrow!

[@catherinebrower3560]

Also, you can make your own rust easily with some iron, salt water, and a power source. I think cody's lab has a video on it. Basically you just make a battery and it will accelerate the corrosion of the iron.

[@jeremyflathead1661]

Even if you don't need a sheet of thermoplastic goodness this is just funny, good work.

[@Shasgirl]

You got my sub for that personal moment between you and that rolling pin. LOL Thanks for sharing the knowledge. I too enjoy a good baking experience.

[@polerix]

Add essetial oil to your warblapie recipe to get scented warblapie

[@laineeey]

Your humor is on point. I like you.

[@sanadw]

This informative clip should have much more hits than that! very informative and entertaining , thanks allot, I appreciate the hard work that is put in this clip. GREAT work guys keep it on.

[@michael6954-m8s]

Love the humour and the helpful info, keep up the good work :)

[@MelissaW09]

I love these videos, and have been getting into various thermoplastics, and while I have found favorites and things that work well and things that fail miserably, I would loooove to hear what you have to say about the new transparent Worbla! Iron oxide Worblapie for the win!

[@DLShadowwolf]

TranpArt? It's a farce, IMO, since you could already buy PETG for half the price in more variations and higher quality. With the exact same characteristics. :-P There are some comparisons of the two, but I havn't done any myself. This is my favourite. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoW6YmWXbNNlpK8

[@MelissaW09]

+DLShadowwolf I've worked with all sorts of Thermoplastics, but I've never messed with worbla because of the price. I've always used HDPE (milk jugs) since they have similar melting abilities, but unfortunately, HDPE isn't transparent. My problem with PET-G (And maybe it's just I need practice) is the melting point seems higher, and it's hard to work with without a mold. Thanks for the link though! seeing it side by side, I think I'll have to give PET-G another go.

[@DLShadowwolf]

Yeah, but TranspArt has the same melting point as PETG, so you have little to gain by doubling the price there :-P

[@shrimp1199]

Would you be able to make a video showing us how to make the screw extruder?

[@DLShadowwolf]

+shrimp1199 There is a pretty useful Instructable about it, I just modified it slightly for PCL instead of ABS or PET. www.instructables.com/id/Build-your-own-3d-printing-filament-factory-Filame/

[@shrimp1199]

+DLShadowwolf awesome, thanks :)

[@vbdeman]

dude your video is great fun to watch and informative! i i would guess your are in the teaching trade. keep it up.

[@chrispybee]

Watched WorblaPie pt 1&2 and found them very informative. What is burnie and is this used to make mass pies on an industrial scale 👍🏻

[@DLShadowwolf]

Bernie is a single screw extruder, and yes, that is what is used for plastics extrusion in industry. Google 'sheet extrusion' for more info ;-)

[@candyflossinct]

What about doing a combo of wood filler and flour with the PCL?

[@Ekatherinne]

Have you tried using a pasta machine either for the blender o just the machine to try and get an even thickness?

[@DLShadowwolf]

I have, although we used a mangle :-) Works great :)

[@maryh.6684]

So to adhere the pieces to each other, just rewarm the 2 connecting areas? Is this the best way or would a plastic adhesive glue work? Thank you so much!

[@DLShadowwolf]

+Mary Higgins Both work, but heating it is probably the easiest. If you're worried about your details warping from heat, though, you can use glue. Hot glue contains a lot of PCL, so should stick perfectly to worblapie.

[@maryh.6684]

DLShadowwolf Thank you :)

[@circulezyarienavoir]

Thanks for this great, informatives and funny videos!!! :)

[@quistomatic]

You are just awesome! Thank you so much for this great video!

[@twosunsracing]

So one you have your desired shapes made how do you glue worbla pie parts together ? Once you make sheets of worbla pie, and you can square off the edges, could you just heat the edges to their melting point and fuse them together giving you bigger and better sheets ?

[@DLShadowwolf]

Pretty much, yeah, but you're probably going to have to work out a joint or two. Glue isn't really necessary, since PCL is one of the main components of hot glue. You can just heat the surface/edge sligtly and stick the parts together.

[@trainerlance]

Brown coats for life!

[@taitai300]

Have you tried adding metal dust and polishing?

[@DLShadowwolf]

Yes. Unfortunately, metal dust conducts heat very well, so the plastic gets too hot to handle before you amass enough metal to polish it. It works, but you'll fry your fingertips like bacon.

[@taitai300]

I shall proceed with caution... and gloves.

[@inkorean5575]

Maybe a silly quistion, but will flour based worblapie go bad and moldy over time, or does it live long (and prosper) from now on and to the end of the world?

[@DLShadowwolf]

+Charlie Bomberg I've tested it for water resistance and no problems there. I just assume there is enough plastic in the mix to make sure nothing can live there. Otherwise, regular worbla (which uses sawdust) would be facing similar problems.

[@robynn6395]

I'm glad I found this, I wondered the same thing

[@aaliyahraks]

funny guy! thanks for all the great info in worblapie 1 and 2

[@whereismymind9429]

can I use just plain artists willow charcoal sticks ground down then?

[@chrismadden4528]

Do you think it’s possible to put the heated mixture through a handheld clay extruder?

[@eimregan1]

Thank you so much, this is a Savior to those of us who cant afford worbla! Im using this for my Kayle cosplay from lol and its perfect.(also have to love a guy in a hat from Firefly)

[@improbableopera793]

Ho there, fellow Firefly enjoyer. I, too, noticed the hat immediately and had a whole moment. I hope these seven years have treated you well.

[@sakurito55]

The taste test is so cute lol.

[@jeangannett]

LOL "dont confuse it with other white powders.."

[@ShardvixensDen]

I liked both the Worblapie one and two videos. Do you make your own for art? Like you the pigment portion really make a light bulb go off in my head. Thank you for making this video. You should check out RuRuCosplay, she did your video in American style. If you have made masks, could you post some infor on that. Thank you.

[@DLShadowwolf]

+Grandmie-plays-gamez Shardvixen Havn't made much in the way of masks (yet) but give me a reason to and I probably will. ;-) I did make a phoenix mask (from Warcraft 3, the one the Spellbreakers run around with) but I doubt that's the type you're after? I actually don't worrk very much with worbla, or worblapie. I have used it mostly for details, it is excellent to sculpt with and not having to prime details is glorious. :-) I've seen RuRu's video as well, it's great to see others make their own take on it!

[@ShardvixensDen]

Thank you for responding. I am looking to make a fox mask to wear on my channel. I would love to see the phoenix mask. I just want to see how one could make a half face mask to cover down over my nose. I plan to go to conventions as my character, Shardvixen. What do you work in if you don't mind me asking? A video in mask making would be grand. I can use all the help I can get. Plus you were fun to listen to and watch. Have a great day!

[@DLShadowwolf]

+Grandmie-plays-gamez Shardvixen Got a pic of it on my fb. facebook.com/OCDcreations/photos/a.253672098131234.1073741836.250580785107032/604280216403752/?type=3&theater Well, I usually work in EVA foam. Depending on how formfitting you want your fox mask, you have several options. The easiest and cheapest is paper maché. You can pretty much apply it to your face, a mannequinn head or a balloon and then sculpt on that. There are lots of tutorials and guides for this online, just a googling away ;-) Then you can thermoform something, like EVA foam or worbla(pie). You heat up a piece and press it onto your face to shape it. Since PCL melts at 60 deg centigrade, it can be a bit hot, but once cool you get a pretty strong and flexible mask. EVA foam (like craft foam and yoga mats and whatnot) is softer and easier to work with (imo) and you pretty much do it the same way. Heat it up with a hot air gun and then press it like a warm towel onto your facial features. Tadaa! Hope that helps a bit ;-)

[@ShardvixensDen]

Thank you very much. I read this and my little brain is working on the design in my head. I will experiment. I saw one video where a young girl made such a mask from a popular anime series. I could also do Japanese Fox masks. I liked your facebook page from mine; Eliza Jane Bout which is my writing persona. I will look through your pictures. You have been very helpful, thank you again. Have a great day.

[@Sardy540]

Legend!! Thanks very much!!

[@aisalus4428]

Thanks for sharing your worblapie with us! I've tried both the sawdust and flour methods, and both have their strengths and weaknesses, but are there any more fillers you would suggest?

[@DLShadowwolf]

+Life-And-Golfishes Depends entirely on what you want to make out of it! Pretty much any cheap material can be used. If you need weight, you can try sand. If you need magnetism or conductivity, you can use metal powders. If you need more flexibility, you can use ground up EVA. If you need texture, you can try larger fillers like bark chips or similar.

[@aisalus4428]

DLShadowwolf Ah, thank you!

[@Jollyrancher120]

How can i findout more about burnee your custom extrusion macine. Do you have any kind of diy instructions? Thanks for spreading the pie around

[@DLShadowwolf]

+Jollyrancher120 I based it upon a filament extruder for 3D printing. You can find an instructable for building one like that here: www.instructables.com/id/Build-your-own-3d-printing-filament-factory-Filame/

[@csbluechip]

Smart, informative and hilarious :)

[@vengervoldur6534]

I understand why a filler is used in PCL, but is it mandatory? It would seem that the filler is what causes the greatest strife with Worbla. So what if I just didn't use it? I suspect that pure PCL would be substantially weaker than PCL with a coarse grain filler, but would it be so weak to be unusable?

[@DLShadowwolf]

+Venger Voldur Problem is that it would be very sticky. Essentially, you'd be working with heat-activated glue. But it does work, it is what Worbla's deco arts, Friendly plastic, plastimake, polymorph, ploymold and others are made from. They don't make sheets of it, though.

[@samarthur7195]

+Venger Voldur The filler helps it hold it's shape in hotter weather also, and makes it soooo much easier to work with, seriously. Otherwise it's kinda like working with a big ball of hot glue. It just doesn't hold it's shape well also - the filler gives it that strength.

[@3ndemonidia]

Thank you so much for Your videos!! You're amazing!!

[@Meaganureeves]

i adore your videos do you have anymore social networks that can be followed?

[@DLShadowwolf]

I'm on Facebook as well, facebook.com/OCDcreations :-)

[@Ekatherinne]

You're freaking amazing!!!!

[@angelickiwi493]

What kind of paint would you or anyone for that matter suggest using on this? ?

[@thriftedjumper8767]

16:04 OMG DAT TASTE PART DOE! lol

[@swagmeisterproductions9408]

You, sir, are a f**king legend!

[@sakurito55]

Ok I have a question I hope someone can answer, I live in Florida, so if I stay outside for too long will my worbla/ worbla pie, deform? I ask this question cause I’m not really planning on using it for cosplay of my own but I’d like to sell props and that’s a fear I’ve had with thermostat plastics, and I know do is not that hot as other places but is where I live lol and where my props will be stored in the mailbox of someone or just waiting to be shipped to their new owners.

[@DLShadowwolf]

Depends on how hot it gets... If normal Worbla would deform, then Worblapie would, too, I'm afraid. Same melting point.

[@Paplaminapoppill]

Dude. You. Awesome.

[@RavicaArt]

thank you!

[@SandraOrtmann1976]

So if a cosplayer gets really hungry and has an armour made of Worblapie...he simply eats it up. That is superpractical indeed.

[@DLShadowwolf]

I... ...wouldn't recommend that. But I'd stay and watch. Totally.

[@Xzo]

I'm hungry for a cherry worbla pie.

[@vikoko1987]

I love you so bad for this video!!!

[@xerospacious4024]

love the 40k Armour

[@sarahk8411]

So I'm pretty new to fabrication/modeling so I was just wondering what would be the benefits of using Worbla or Worblapie as opposed to just a plain PCL like Instamorph or such? Also, it's great how you make your videos very informative yet extremely entertaining at the same time. Love the Jayne hat!

[@DLShadowwolf]

The main reasons for using filler are a) 10% filler means 10% more material, so it's cheaper. b) added functionality, such as pigments and c) mechanical properties. With filler in PCL, it is easier to shape, stiffer once cold, doesn't stick to tools as much and a few other benefits. :-)

[@sarahk8411]

Okay, thanks! Also, do you know how thick regular Worbla is? I can't seem to find that stat anywhere but I can get my Worblapie down to an even 2mm sheet and I was wondering how that compares to the actual stuff. I've found an adjustable rolling pin or basically any fondant rolling pin (since they generally always have multiple thickness bands) are really helpful for rolling out your Worblapie evenly. I've seen them on Amazon for as low as $8.

[@DLShadowwolf]

Regular Worbla is 1mm, if I recall correctly.

[@ZockSocke8]

Captain, i have a question. Did you create the reptile lasercutter file yourselfe ? And if, is there the possibility to get it too ? ... Please ( insert puppy eyes 🐶)

[@DLShadowwolf]

Sure. Just some texture I stole off the internet and turned into a cutting pattern. You can download it here. www.dropbox.com/s/bunf7ikzlhzh13y/crocodile.dxf?dl=0

[@ZockSocke8]

DLShadowwolf OMG ! thanks ! I actually taekwondo kicked the air of my friends flat, because I was so happy that you replayed.

[@davidvillacorta9215]

can make this on microwave? just wondering

[@DLShadowwolf]

Never tried, but wouldn't recommend...

[@sirenamber]

Ooooh! I lourve your brains. These videos have been fun, and hopefully helpful. We'll see if I don't burn down my kitchen baking iron filings into plastic pellets and flour.... o_O Also, your heat gun helping pal looks a lot like Grant O'Rourke. Just saying.

[@foxdream9165]

[@woodbear4549]

Hvor i Norge kjøper du Worbla?

[@MacheteCrunk]

Borderlands2 + hexagons

[@Katsurisan]

For a while I thought you were Finnish :D

[@mondfuchs4481]

Are you from ireland?

[@craftlocust]

Now the real question is, where can we buy this worbla pie?

[@DLShadowwolf]

+Mulhalla Well, that's the big downside; you have to make it yourself. Unless you find someone willing to make it for you, of course.

[@craftlocust]

That's the joke. I'm implying you could make and sell it (although it would violate copyright laws). :D

[@DLShadowwolf]

+Mulhalla Well, actually... No, it wouldn't. ;-) Worblapie is no more infringement than Applepie is to Apple. Rhenoflex may own patents for worbla sheets, but there is a youtube video explaining their state of art, which means it's public knowledge and you can't patent public knowledge. ;-) Furthermore, the patent is for shoe puffs, not crafting materials so it doesn't cover this application, nor does it mention flour, pigments, metals, texture or any other of the attributes presented here. Anyone is free to make and sell Worblapie, if they want to. :-)

[@craftlocust]

Good to know. So when are you opening your worblapie shop?

[@DLShadowwolf]

+Mulhalla Probably never. I just wanna watch the world learn ;-)

[@blackwolf_armory7990]

I noticed the Warhammer Armor behind you, did you make that?

[@DLShadowwolf]

Yup ^^

[@cRositaFresita]

Ahahaha! How did it get its name??? "They pretty much looked out the window..." wtf! xD

[@SaphDegatzlXl]

Warblepie

[@mishka765]

Can you please write ingrediens and grams? :)

[@DLShadowwolf]

+Misaki chan ingredients and grams. No, just kidding ;-) Here are a few of my favourites: Smooth Worblapie: 70g PCL, 30g flour Black smooth worblapie: 70g PCL, 30g flour, 3-5g powdered charcoal Magnetic Worblapie: 70g PCL, 30g flour, 10-12g powdered rust Structural Worblapie: 70g PCL, 30-35g blended pet wood shavings Worbla worblapie: 65-70g PCL, 30g sawdust of 0.5 mm grain size

[@mishka765]

thank you so much ^^

[@Jz.PR3]

+DLShadowwolf Man, THANK YOU for this!!! I'm only wondering if the Worbla worblapie actually has a 'glue' side or is like the Smooth worblapie that one has to glue to the thing one's working on... Do you know?

[@DLShadowwolf]

You mean the black worbla? It does. But you can make a glue side on the worblapie too, if you wish.

[@Jz.PR3]

From what I undestood from the video, the reason worblapie doesn't have a glue side is because of the grain, and when one does it really smooth, the grain needs too much time to get to the upper surface, so the flour worblapie basically won't have a truly glue side. But what about the "65-70g PCL, 30g sawdust of 0.5 mm grain size" worblapie recipe you gave? Theoretically, it will have a glue side, but does it really have it? That's what I'm asking, thanks for answering and sorry for such a long response.

[@raisakarim]

Do you have Instagram by any chance?

[@Sierrebrarc]

O_O How does we makes Burnie? kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3_OhqFua7yNj6c I'll polish Vera for a month if you tell us. Shiney?

[@jeremyflathead1661]

@1.50 a mention of Bernie? Just a quick mention and then nothing, no how to make, you sir have some explaining to do...

[@DLShadowwolf]

I usually post stuff on Facebook, so references don't always carry over ;-) Bernie is my desktop single-screw extruder. Mixes worlapie for me, like a meat grinder with a cooking function :-) facebook.com/OCDcreations/photos/a.466070703558038.1073741850.250580785107032/519260864905688/?type=3&theater

I'm sorry...?

[@DrPucky]

Gotta +1 this. Although I already have a thing for long haired men since... pretty much since birth, so that doesn't really counts haha. Nice video by the way. I'll need to try this.

[@jeffrey_young563]

Spie

[@cherenoble6158]

I've made some Worblapie and now I have the issue of it sticking. I can't get it rolled out properly because it just sticks to my rolling pin and my countertops. I'm stuck with this hard ball because of this. How do I keep it from sticking to everything?

[@DLShadowwolf]

+Chére Noble As mentioned in the clip, use some release agent. KY jelly, vaseline, petroleum jelly, silicone, sunflower oil, most stuff works. Just remember to clean it off after rolling it ouut, or paint won't stick to it later on.

[@angelickiwi493]

What kind of paint would you or anyone for that matter suggest using on this? ?

[@DLShadowwolf]

Most paints work excellent. Wall paint or acrylics would probably fit your needs.
