Assuming that no response within a couple of hours of posting indicates no interest is unrealistic. Some people may have looked at the forum a minute before you posted, gone to sleep, and won't wake up for another 8 hours. Certainly the topic *sounds* interesting.
The first picture shows a brass ring set into the top of an heatsink with a PTFE liner, which seems to correspond to your description. The second link is 404.
I don't quite understand what you mean by "bought a E3d head and modified it to feed continuously". E3Ds, and every other kind of filament-fed hot-end that I know of, *do* feed continuously. What exactly is the purpose of removing the top of the Bowden connector?
And I'm trying to figure out how this relates to 2 color printing. Is this some kind of quick-change Bowden thing to allow you to quickly change filament, and therefore ease 2-color printing? Or do you feed two 1.75mm filaments into a single 3mm? hot-end, or something like that? Is this Tarantula-specific, or a mod that could be applied to other types of printers?
Perhaps you could elucidate?
