Replacement Frigidaire Freezer Handle

17 years ago, we bought a Frigidaire "Heavy Duty Commercial Freezer" to keep bulk frozen goods in (we often shop at Sam's Club or Costco). It still works... but the door handle broke a year or two ago. Actually, the holes in door aren't quite the same distance apart as the holes in the broken handle, so it's surprising it lasted that long.

Anyway, here's a simple, highly functional, replacement for the handle. The screw holes in this handle are slotted to allow for the slight difference in distances, and we add a washer to each screw to distribute the surprisingly large forces the handle's mounting points must withstand.

Notes:

For printing, turn the handle on its side and angle it as needed to fit on the bed of your printer -- it's a bit large for some printers, but there are no unsupported areas in that orientation. This one was printed in gray PLA (ABS should work too), with 3 shells and 40% infill for strength. Despite that, overtightening the screws when you mount the handle can cause (non-fatal) splits in the PLA, so don't overtighten... and definitely don't forget to add washers to distribute the force from the screws.
