I really don't see that pull down is an issue. I mean the Freezerator is actually a freezer, which has ample cooling power, but you are asking the compressor to run until a higher target temp is reached, the result is it runs in cycles of much shorter duration. If it is not able to meet the temperature, it just keeps running continuously until target temp is reached... then back to business as usual.
The effort in making this thing ultra-minimum. the cost of a unit is the cost of a very cheap freezer plus $20. The cost of running this thing is astonishingly low.
It's actually the simplest, most effective hack I have ever tried.
Before you wear yourself out try to improve it, you really ought to try it out... you'd be amazed.
If you actually want to improve on this thing, improve on dealing with or eliminating condensation. That actually is a problem.
