I spent the morning designing and prototyping this glue stick cap/nozzle combo that allows you to apply glue more precisely. The aim is to replace expensive glue 'pens' used in English Paper Piecing (https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/how-to-english-paper-piecing-4588714)
From this prototype I've learned that a friction fit isn't strong enough to hold the cap on while dispensing glue. Furthermore, if you try to get around this by holding the cap down, the print fails before the glue comes out.
To remedy the first problem I'm going to try a glue stick with a screw-on cap. The second will require me to abandon the use of vase-mode for the print (boo!) so that I can make the walls thicker.
