Toilet foot flush (Hands free) COVID-19

This is a remix from by Stoutlimb "Toilet Handle and Arm Replacement" (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1582357)
I basically remixed the handle so that people can tie a rope or chain to it that holds the part that can be pulled by your foot. The intention of this design is to eliminate one contact surface more to help keep the virus from spreading so quickly.
The comments on the original post said that this is a reliable and durable design, so i just adapted it.
DO NOT PRINT THE HANDLE VERTICALLY even if you have to use supports because the torsional shearing stress will separate the layers. Just print it with the flat surface facing the heated bed.
To install it, just make sure that the part that is hanging from the rope or chain is close to the floor. When you flush it, the plastic should touch the floor to avoid breaking it.
This was a quick design, it can be improved. I haven't printed it yet because i ran out of filament and haven't been able buy some. I just wanted to get it out there as soon as possible.
Please share your makes.
Make sure this goes to all public restrooms.
