What advantage does a quartz tube as an insulator get you? Usually quartz is used for it's thermal strength and dimensional stability, not for it's thermal conductivity. Strength and stability doesn't really get you any benefit for how we use them.
It sounds like he's using it for the heat break I would guess, or above that?
Sounds interesting, lots of pics of the manufacture would be fascinating

You are right, it will be used instead of the ss throat. Quartz is better insulator than stainless steel, allowing you to see what it's happening inside, and it is alot more structurally sound than Peek.
Quartz it's also machinable with diamond tip tools and it is not expensive to get it. 2 pieces already tapered for $ 12.00 each. Maximum operational temperature 1100 degrees and do not suffer from thermal shocks.
Will post pictures and results soon.

Here you can see samples of machined quartz and fused silica tubes :www.indquartz.com
Wow, looks nice, I'm curious, if this material indeed improves the printing of PLA compared to SS, this could solve a lot of issues!

It sounds really interesting. I am looking forward to see the results.
Quartz has high thermal resistance and is it very hard material. Therefore, it is a good choice to use it as a thermal insulator. But machining quartz requires high precision and accuracy. Make sure you do it very carefully.
