Alan,

Are you here somewhere looking over my shoulder? :)

Here I am in the parking lot waiting to pick up my wife, perusing images of "interlocking joints" for ABS plastic, when your email came came through!

I like the Makerbot I think it's pretty neat!

Joe,
I was re thinking your idea of a printed Kort nozzle.
There are printer kits for $900- that would do the job.

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