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 need for this project is a screwdriver, and the 3D printed part, as well as a 3D printer and Cura or other 3D printing software.

Removing the Old Handle Back
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.
Installing the New Handle Back
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!
Now all you have to do is print as many as you need for your kitchen.
Enjoy!
