UPDATE: Added 3 smaller nozzles that require less filament.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Second update: I purchased a tube of Loctite brand plastic glue and compared the strength to the Bostik glue. Check out my other model uploads for “Glue tensile strength test object” for a brief summary of my test results. Spoiler alert, the Bostik glue tested a lot stronger than the Loctite glue.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Nozzles to suit Bostik 20ml glue tubes- soft plastic and hard plastic glues.

May also suit other tubes of glue, grease, etc.

3x different diameter outlet tips- 1mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm -size is marked on each nozzle.

I print these at 0.1mm layer height to help keep the thread smooth, and with 2 perimeters, 15% gyroid infill, no supports or brim. They don't require much filament, so they're a good way to use up short pieces of leftover filament. 

I use these glues for assembling R/C car bodies printed in PLA. Both glues appear to be strong yet flexible (not brittle like CA glue “super glue”). They seem to be equally as strong as each other (on PLA at least). The hard plastics glue is thicker (more gel-like) than the soft plastics glue.  I purchased both tubes from Officeworks if any Aussies want to buy the glue.

I'm not sure exactly what thread was used on the glue tube, but the thread I used in the design is 3/8-20. I've used a number of these tubes of glue and have never had an issue with my nozzles on them.

 

BE WARNED: I've found both glues slightly dissolve PLA. This makes for a good bond, however it dissolves the filament colouring into the glue. I would recommend printing nozzles from the same filament as the project that you will be gluing with it, as to avoid staining your job with an unwanted colour. I also treat each nozzle as disposable and “single use only”.
