Goals
- Use widely available materials
- Mix several metals with different heat transfer coefficients to slow down convection.
- Have a long and continous path where the transformation from solid to liquid takes places, in order to minimize turbulence and get a laminar output.
- Get rid of PFTE/Peek in favor to make it more reliable/heat proof.
- Easy to assemble design
First version conclusions
Aluminum was used for the heat sink. A stainless steel pipe was inserted inside as heat insulation for the filament. The brass nozzle goes inserted into an aluminum non threaded heating block.
