Description
These are models that work as a replacement screw for the anova sous vide clamp that anova wants FOURTY UNITED STATES DOLLARS TO REPLACE. Luckily 3d printer owners can repair their own things right?
There are 3 different models now, the original model, the updated model with a larger knob, slightly longer portion between the threads and knob, and a version of the new model with a dovetail cut out so it can be printed horizontally and then glued together, to avoid worrying about over-tightening. And there is a .3mf from orcaslicer with my saved settings and with an additional modifier (seen in yellow) to have a bit of 100% infill inline with the vertically printed knob.

Printed in black PLA. Optionally comes with a model for a TPU cap if you lost yours, the original rubber one will fit fine on the printed screw though. The TPU cap may need to be scaled up slightly to make it easier to put on, or not if you use something softer, I used 95A.
The threads are slightly smaller than the original part to keep it easy to turn, but it tightens down just the same. You may need to run it in and out a few times to loosen it up, depending on how your printer handles the small overhangs on the screw. The screw was printed without supports. The horizontal version that requires glue does need supports.
The TPU cap needs to be printed with the open end on the build plate, it should not need supports. The screw can be made out of basically anything, but PLA is probably the best choice, or maybe PETG.
