Hello everyone,
Thanks for the comments

The problem with aluminium is that it tends to break when theres a sudden change of thickness (thread). I dont know how much pressure the steam coming from the wand has, but its probably too little to do any damage to the wand, tip or the thread.
If someone was to make a smaller hole, like for example 0,5mm it would mean more pressure from the steam and much bigger force acting on the thread.
Also be advised that another weak spot is the washer on top of the wand which holds the whole thing in place. Make sure it sits well in the depression, or otherwise it may slip off and the whole wand will come off, together with all the hot steam.
Choosing brass is a wise idea, cause it is really easy to work with. SS would be harder to drill for sure and it might not work without the use of a drill press.
Does Selfmade Changes indeed

Cheers,
dsc.
