3D Printed Geneva Cabinet Handle Back

In our house, we have vintage Geneva cabinets. The problem is, that after a long time, the plastic that the handle backs are made of start to break down. So, a few months ago,I decided to design new handle backs for the cabinets, because extras on eBay are hundreds of dollars and I needed about 32.

Supplies

All you have to do to remove the old handle back is unscrew the screws that are holding it to the cabinet door and then take it off.

To install the new handle back, simply put the new handle back in the place where the old handle was and then put the handle on. Then screw the screws back in to hold it down.

DONE!
