Gas jets as nozzles?
May 09, 2010 10:41AM
Hello All

Has anyone tried using brass gas jets as extruder nozzles? That is, the jets you find in a gas stove. They are cheap and the common ones come in a range of sizes down to about 0.3 mm.

They have a standard thread, so would be easy to swap as required.

Smaller sizes are as follows. Numbering is based on imperial drill sizes (as fraction of an inch)

No. Inch mm
80 0.0135 0.343
79 0.0145 0.368
78 0.0160 0.406
77 0.0180 0.457
76 0.0200 0.508
75 0.0210 0.533
74 0.0225 0.572
73 0.0240 0.610
72 0.0250 0.635
71 0.0260 0.660

Cheers
