help finding STL for mirror screws

My red/black works great, and a couple of years ago I upgraded the locks on the mirrors to ones that are much easier to access. I've attached a picture; they are the yellow thumb screws.

Unfortunately, one of them has lost some of its threads and it coming loose. And, worse, I can't find the original STL file for the 3D print.

Any chance someone has it?

Many thanks,
sanjay

That looks like the part I designed some time ago, prior to the forum fiasco.

I've attached a zip file which contains the STL as well as the OpenSCAD code which created it, along with a library file necessary to create the part. This will allow someone with different threads to modify as needed.

The file information tells me it was October 2016. I didn't realize I've had my laser that long!

Fred, are you OK with me sharing this wider? I asked on a few other forums I spend time on and people were quite interested, but I didn't want to share it further without your permission.

There are no conditions regarding this file. No attribution requirements, no restrictions. The only possible restrictions might be on the OpenSCAD library file I included in the zip and I suspect that's also publicly accessible.
