I made some small changes when I made my model:
1. The door panels did not quite "snap in" like implied in the video, so I glued the 3 sides in. For the door, I reprinted without the door-knob (STL included here) and glued on a small magnet in its place with a matching magnet inside the door frame. It is not a strong latch, but enough to hold the door on while sitting on a shelf and still be able to open and replace items inside. I also opted for silver instead of gold trim to match the new knob.
2. I had a 3 LED PCB lying around from a broken "stick-up lamp", so I used it as shown in the pictures. It had a resistor for an expected 4.5V supply (3 AAA cells), so with only the ~4.0V from the 18650 battery it is not so blindingly bright and works well.
3. I did not like the fact I couldn't tell when the battery has been charged up to capacity, so I used a small (~2mm) drill bit and hand-drilled a small hole near the USB socket so I could see whether the charging LED is lit.
