I just printed this out as well! So much better than the button. Though having a grey lever in a white fridge isn’t doing it for me. That’s a good enough excuse to go buy some new filament!
I do think it would be better to print it on the opposite side than what he shows in his screenshots. That way the rougher side where the support material attaches will be facing the inside of the fridge.
Yeah that would make total sense lol. I'll reprint when I get some white filament and print with the other side down. No idea why I didn't think of it.
One other printing tip: pull the z of the model down a few layers. The way it is modeled has the plate touched by only a single point. Pulling it down and making (what should be the right side, but I printed left) of the lever flat gave me better bed adhesion.
