After seeing Adrians Geared extruder nozzle I immediately liked it, but realized that it would be even harder to make than older designs
I offer this design as a compromise, that is similar in essence, but using nozzles and barels that can be readily bought from places like Makerbots, ReprapSource, and RepRapStores.
To make this all you really need to do is to turn down 8mm of the end of some 16mm dia ptfe to 10mm and put an external thread on it. To make the middle (heatsink) part you use a piece of 16mm dia alu round bar, drill a 5mm hole all the way through the centre, then drill an 8.5mm hole to 8mm deep into one end. Tap the 5mm hole to M8 and 8.5mm hole to M10. The peek cap is almost identical to Adrians, except its 16mm in dia. I made the flange 2mm thinking that would be easier, and put M6 tapped hole instead of a 8mm clearance hole.
Missing from the drawing is the 3mm Plate (because it is identical to Adrians so unnecessary work to duplicate)
