78 KB | First attempt. This is just a single-tube needle with a heater and thermistor. The air tube is stuck in place with caulk. The lid, heater, ports, etc are held in place with JB-weld. This design did not work at all because there was not sufficient heat | 1 |

90 KB | Second attempt. Vent and drain tubes run in parallel, with a sort of notch at the tip to allow molten wax to be replaced with air from the vent, then moved up the drain tube into the case. Push-to-connect fitting (visible behind case) is used to connect | 1 |

113 KB | Third attempt. This one worked well enough to test. Solidified wax forms a film on the inside of the case. This design uses a nested drain and vent. The cutting tip exits to the left in the picture. The vent exits to the right. An eight-ohm heater i | 1 |

178 KB | A view of the test setup. Of course, this tool is meant to be installed on an automatic XYZ table (like RepRap or MakerBot) but for a quick test it was installed on the little manual Sherline. The waxuum was simply clamped to the vertical stage of the m | 1 |

138 KB | Closeup of case at beginning of test. The wax inside is molten so the interior is visible. Near the top of the case interior, note the slanted cut in the drain tube, where the thinner vent tube passes out and outside. Molten wax exits from the slanted | 1 |
