<DIV id=yiv2010213621yui_3_13_0_8_1383874403256_11>I was re thinking your idea of a printed Kort nozzle.</DIV>
<DIV id=yiv2010213621yui_3_13_0_8_1383874403256_11>There are printer kits for $900- that would do the job.</DIV>

<DIV id=yiv2010213621yui_3_13_0_8_1383874403256_11>The ABS printer cable I've seen selling for about $1- an ounce.</DIV>
<DIV id=yiv2010213621yui_3_13_0_8_1383874403256_11>The $899- version in the above link could possibly be big enough to print</DIV>
<DIV id=yiv2010213621yui_3_13_0_8_1383874403256_11>the nozzle in one shot. If not then print it in sections & glue together.</DIV>
<DIV id=yiv2010213621yui_3_13_0_8_1383874403256_11>My idea is to print the nozzle hollow with an egg shell wall thickness & fill it with</DIV>
<DIV id=yiv2010213621yui_3_13_0_8_1383874403256_11>a fiber reinforced epoxy resin. The resin may need a few pours to allow for contractions</DIV>
<DIV id=yiv2010213621yui_3_13_0_8_1383874403256_11>in the resin while setting.</DIV>
<DIV id=yiv2010213621yui_3_13_0_8_1383874403256_11>Maybe under $30- in materials.</DIV>
<DIV id=yiv2010213621yui_3_13_0_8_1383874403256_11>I am not at the point where I need this & neither are you, but I think this idea still</DIV>
<DIV id=yiv2010213621yui_3_13_0_8_1383874403256_11>holds a lot of promise.</DIV>
