Hi James,
It's just an idea, but I can still buy ink dr=

pens for technical drawing. They have plastic push on ink cartridges which=

separately from 0.1 to 1.0 mm.
Note that you can also buy fine stainless ste=

the ink quite well.
Note that hot wires are usually spot welded=

would expect the wire to be Nichrome.
