I’d assume that the best nozzles to engage are of the CHT variety. Or at least I don’t expect the plastic to melt well if the hole at the end of the nozzle is bigger than the diameter of the filament and there’s nothing in between to melt it.
Yep, cht style

Lessons learned: poke the vent holes before removing the template so you don’t have loose sand in the mold 
Use welding gloves
Lessons learned: 3D printed flask will burn 
You can pour water on the petrabond sand and it seams ok …
Too cold and it will harden before it’s done pouring
Edit (one more): put the top of the mold back in the proper orientation 
On a somewhat related, I love ASA and the Q1 … Perfect warp free print every time

Same, I do recommend calibrating for thermal expansion so your parts fit right. However, the parts I print are very different and I have no experience with what you’re building.

Files are available online, and you can do it with an airsoft kit (shouldn’t have restrictions).
The Harlot is a cool project and requires even less …

Do you want me to print up a little jig to hold it for under a drill press? Or do you have plans for lathe
I’ll just spin it up in the lathe. Simpler, easier, truer.
Some days it’s good to be working in a full machine shop in a plant that’s been slowly closing / dying for a year now. Let’s just say I have a lot of free time.

Got it and honestly I am very positively surprised.
The build quality is of the iron itself and the 100W psu are unexpectedly great. Like better than big brand stuff.
In practice it does its job as advertised but I’m no expert in soldering and haven’t used it much yet.

I’ve not used that particular one. But honestly since I got my ts100 I’ve not unpacked my Weller in 4 years.
I know lot of people were skeptical when these style irons came out. But it’s so nice just having my iron in a pencil case on my desk ready to go when I need it

Im one of them 
I still have my weller on the desk with the hot air next to it.
Do they have a battery or you are still tethered to the PSU?
I might pick one up for the road … the weller is big in teh backpack …

Got the TS100 when it first came out, loved it. Got the Pinecil when it came out, love that too. Keep it in a little soldering pouch, buncha tips, solder, sucker, ~10’ USB-C cable etc etc.
Hard to beat the portability.

I picked up the Pinecil for on the road, and hoped it would be good enough for traveling, never would I have thought it is capable enough to be my main iron.
On the road I power it with a 5s LiPo when away from mains.

The TS100 has a standard jack but I modded mine to take a USB-c 12v pd. So I can run mine off a external USB battery pack.
The pinecil is native USB-C so it works great without modification.
I use my MacBook charger at home for it

For those who know what this is, it’s coming along nicely. The mod is easy enough. I need to narrow down the right inductors though because currently it’s a bit quiet…

is this a buttonless mouse that uses finger magnets to interact with?

nope! Normal mouse but it can output your audio as magnetic fields at your fingertips 
That’s a great idea though
