Sous Vide 3D

I've been exploring how to create the perfect steak every time with [Sous Vide cooking](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=sous+vide+cooking). Sous Vide cooking ensures your meat is never undercooked or overcooked. The **Sous Vide** ***3D*** utilizes a highly accurate INKBIRD ITC-106VH PID temperature controller with intelligent proportional heat control, F & C readings, 100-240 VAC input, an angled display that's easy to read and makes button presses more ergonomic, a waterproof temp sensor, and a small footprint. I use Sous Vide 3D to control a 200 watt slow cooker, but it can easily handle any immersion heater or deep fryer up to 1,000 watts. My slow cooker is an older model with a mechanical rotating Off/Low/High switch. A model with an electronic button pad won't work. Printing the STL files is easy due to the built-in supports for the square nut retention slots that would normally require support material. The hole for the PID has a single support feature that needs to be removed once the top half is done. Flexible 16 gauge wire is essential for easy assembly. Silicone wire is suggested. Strip the ends of the wire bare where they get inserted into the PID terminal screws. Don't use forked terminal connectors on the PID; they stick out too far and will interfere with final assembly. The outlet needs to be split into two independently powered outlets. To split them, you need to flex the brass piece that bridges the two sides of the brass screws until it breaks off. This breaks the connection between the two outlets. By building this thing, you agree to accept 100% responsibility for any personal injury or property damage you may suffer. To complete your Sous Vide 3D, you will have an accurate, easy-to-use device that matches the quality of Sous Vide machines costing far more. Plus, if one part goes bad, you'll know how to repair it instead of throwing the whole thing away. **Working with bare wires @ 120-240 Volts AC can kill you, even if you know what you're doing. By building this thing, you agree to accept 100% responsibility for any personal injury or property damage you may suffer.** This project has gone through many revisions to ensure everything fits perfectly. Many, many hours of design and many print models were required to bring it to this point. If you make one for yourself, a picture would be greatly appreciated. And of course, a tip would help me recover some of my filament costs as well. **Required Materials:** * INKBIRD ITC-106VH PID temperature controller * 200 watt slow cooker or immersion heater/deep fryer up to 1,000 watts * Mechanical rotating Off/Low/High switch (or electronic button pad) * Flexible 16 gauge wire * Silicone wire * Forked terminal connectors (not recommended) * Brass piece that bridges the two sides of the brass screws * 6-32 machine screw for outlet center hole * Miscellaneous M3 screws & nuts * 16 Gauge Stranded Wire * Fully Insulated Female Spade Terminal Connectors for Power Switch (7) * 3-Pin Electrical Cord for On/Off Switch - PC Power Supply Style **Note:** Working with bare wires @ 120-240 Volts AC can kill you, even if you know what you're doing.
