I was just curious to see if there was anyone in this forum doing metal casting with 3d prints.

Certainly metal would produce more durable parts. I did some casting in high school. We went and got scrap metal, aluminum & magnesium because we didn't have furnace capable of melting steel, from junkyards. We mostly used pistons from wrecked cars.

Nah, it's the universe's way of giving you the fingerEver notice how, when you go to pull an extension cord so you can use it somewhere else, it will always find the most ackward thing near it to wrap itself around. Even though the odds of it getting caught up on this thing are, like, a billtion to 1, it still does it. How does that happen? I'm tellin' you, it's the universe givin' you the gears.
BTW, do you have Capricorn blue on that printer?

I only have a short piece jammed between the nozzle and the bowden tube. It is following Chuck's idea on CHEP yt site except I don't use or need a washer because there is no room. I never get any leaks but I;ve shown you that the heat climbs up the nhot end and swells up the plastic all the way to the bowden tube when I do have my blockages.
