    I mean the thumbnuts ! You can autoclave the machine but in the thumbnuts you have the riffles what is for easy cleaning not a good idea ! Why you not make them smooth ? With gloves it should not be a problem to tighten them up !

    You need some grip, with vaseline in your fingers or just moist sometimes can be a pain in the ass.
    but I think I'll make those groves wider and more spaced out.
    That is an easy change.

    Not to sound rude but Zapp and anyone asking about cleaning the thumb screws what does it matter don't you bag your machines to prevent cross contamination? If so then groves won't matter ya know

    We talking about a machine who is build to autoclave and witch is smooth for easy cleaning ! I think a thumbskrew without riffles fits better in this concept !
    If all that doesn't matter,for what all that effort ?
