33mm x 2mm pitch according to my calipers and thread gauge? Seems odd so there might be an imperial match for that but the 2mm pitch looks bang on with the gauge?
I would like a copy of the file if you did draw one up, maybe 2 versions, one for a standard wire liner and one extended for a teflon liner? (Or just one version that allows for a teflon liner)
Maybe integrate a slot on the side for a velcro tie to keep the whole thing tidy.
You might want to print a small test ring first unless somebody else confirms that thread size!

That' makes sense then, the thread gauge fits perfectly but I haven't heard of a 33mm thread before.

What do threads print out like?
Would pla filament be suitable for printing out something like this?
So far I have only used metal inserts in 3d prints but printing the threads for a low stress thing like this would be interesting, I have had a few issues with parts warping so would be interesting to see if I could get one of these to work correctly

Thats what I want to make a protector for the teflon liner aluminum & then a smaller just to protect the standard end. busy with that now should be done by the end of the day
depends on the printer you have and how well its tuned but this can be king of loose
here I uploaded it to thingverse - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4011504
Says I need to wait 24hrs before it will be shared as I am a new user

M33x2 is a standard thread in hydraulics.

Spoke to a sparky mate of mine this afternoon who reckons he has got taps and dies for it, uses it for pipes (probably hydraulic) and he thinks it might be the size for some electrical glands as well.
I use simplify3d can share my profile for PLA+ if you like?
It's 0.2 layer height - 0.4 extruder on a delta printer

To loose the seem line on the plain section of the print in simplify3d select the 'layer tab' in 'edit process settings' then in 'start points' select 'use random start points for all perimeters'
Depending on the print it may increase the print time

M33 x 2 is the spindle nose thread on some wood lathes. 
There would likely be interest in someone making & selling these on here. You could also make a version to fit the welder side to protect it if you were putting it into storage.

Another quick update
there is the smaller version - it's uploaded to thingverse above - if you don't have a 3d printer there are places that do printing
I just used PLA+ as this for me is quick and easy to print if i need to print another & I am not expecting it to be bashed about

I've had success 3D-ing a 2" x 12tpi in ABS... it was a male thread and wouldn't quite go into the female so I put it in the lathe and tickled it with a pointy stick until it did
Get the magnifier on it and you could see the layering of the filament, but it's held up well enough so far.The item in question was a bung to shove in a cylinder (think air tank, but then fill it full of something that expands rapidly when it hits something else); behind the 2" thread is a basket (also 3D-printed, with 1.5mm holes in the 'mesh') to contain silica gel granules that absorb any moisture in the cylinder. Bung has a recessed centre plug so the granules can be changed without needing to remove the whole thing from the cylinder. The plug is turned from acetal with an M25 x 1mm thread; I made a simple tap and used that to put the matching thread in the 3D-printed bung.

Useful to know, does Cura have an equivalent?
