I would very must like to know what is the size of that adaptor, since US pipe size is all different.

It has the advantage that you wouldn't have to drill the nozzle.

I would change the resistor to a cartridge type heater.

I saw this when I was browsing http://reprap.org/wiki/Acorn_nut

and saw this picture.

it's about acorn nut leaking PLA, but i think the design is using pipe adaptor. I really want to build something like this,especially the pipe nipple/adapter, and wants to find out about the parts.  does anyone know what is the name of this hotend? and maybe the detail info for the pipe adaptors.

thank you
