Exactly what I'm doing! Haha.
My problem with the "water into a larger diameter pipe" idea is that, while the filament is melted, it isn't a free flowing liquid that expands quickly to fill it's container; I'm trying to picture the balancing act that would be required to get the filament to expand by pushing against the build plate/ previous nozzle, but I can only see it ending in a nasty clog.
You're probably right and it's likely much more simple than I'm making it out to be. I still like my idea of a baffled nozzle, though. Haha
