Yep. Have the bezel / plate. Just needed the handle. Have an exter bezel,So you just ordered the actual pull, not the piece that mounts to the gate?

Can we tap that type of metal? Stainless can be tapped, but I've no experience with printed metal. M10 is like a 3/8 bolt, without looking probably M6.
Are you talking about everybody downloading and uploading their own again, because I still need help with the inner door handles.
EDIT...Thanks Guys and I'm in!
J Mack the links you posted would work good for the handles. You have to make the handles in two pieces, so using your Barry White screws would work. Trying to rivet them together would be a pain.
Just thinking aloud:
Since you have an ability to print these is nylon, why not shift the focus a bit instead of printing in some sintered metal.
Print them in the correct type of wax, and send to a place that does lost wax casting? They’ll add a sprue/runner and cover in the slurry, bake the wax out and cast in stainless or whatever metal. Then it’s a matter of machine/polish/chrome.
I would imagine the printed texture on the exposed surfaces could be hidden reasonably easily with a few passes with a torch to smooth the surface of the wax before the slurry...
