Before it was just a button in the fridge. It has a small decorative plate above it that was removable.
22Is this how the fridge ships or did the original piece break? I can’t imagine how annoying it was to have to use both hands just to fill up a water bottle. Nice print!
6It looked like this originally. For a normal glass of water, an adult used to it could wrap thumb and ring/pinky around the top of the glass, and push with the index finger to do it one-handed. But kids could never, and adults from outside the household were always baffled.

Do you have a link to the model
4Etsy store was PackardsPrintables. I'm in no way affiliated.

Hol up. You bought that? Why does it look like it was severed by teeth?
7This is the 3d printing sub. He bought the printable model then printed it. He probably had some artifacts that needed sanding/clipping due to print issues.

7That's how prints look on the bottoms when they have supports under them.

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.
7Yeah 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.

Teach me oh wise and mighty one! Or just give me the STL, because I have this same refrigerator and it's the stupidest design on the planet.
4It's $10 on Etsy, but I left it in my cart overnight and got a coupon for 50% off. It would be completely unethical for you to DM me and ask me for a link to a direct download and for me to provide that link.

I consider myself fortunate. Basically any mechanical or structural thing I could want, I can just sit down and design something. Maybe I need to sell models.
4You definitely should. I can design well enough for random BS, but can't be bothered to perfect something. $5 is well worth the time saved for me.

be a buddy and share the model? i have the same dispenser in my fridge and the button sucks :p

Pays for model, prints it in black instead of white.
0If you wanna buy me a spool of white filament, I won't stop you
