You're going to need to put a ton of holes in the two walls of the melting and funnel pieces.

Find the smallest drill bit you can find that's suitable for drilling metal and put it in the press.

Connect the melting and funnel pieces together using the holes we just tapped and some bolts, then clamp it in a metal working vise.

Basically, you're going to just drill a vertical strip of 3 holes every 5mm or so. The holes should be about 2-3 mm apart.

Look at the pictures for a better understanding of what I'm trying to convey.

Then, take only the base plate and drill two 1/4" holes about 1/4" away from each other so that they go through the groove for the heating element, this will be where the wire will feed to the heating element.
