for those with a bowden tube setup i can put a threaded part in the top for a pneumatic tube connector,

given the feedback i've had in regards to concerns about strength of the thermal barrier, i thought i might post this image (see attachment) there's about 4.5kilos or 9.9 pounds pulling down on it with no sign of any bending of flexing,

Looks good. Similar to the tiny thermal barrier I saw on prusa's i3 in NY. I was worried about strength a bit too, good pic to show the strength!

Nice looking hotend...I looked at your website, do you have a video or could you post one with this hotend being used? I'm really interested in getting on of these.

Thanks!

i'm putting one together at the moment,

Get sure to let us know when you start doing 3mm filament one please.

Most of my technical comments should be correct, but is THIS one ?
Anyway, as a rule of thumb, always double check what people write.
