I lengthened the tip so that is was more pointed and the lid now opens every time.

The second was that after you open the lid you tend to point the marker downwards. When I did this my lever would flip down and be upside down. This prevented me from just flipping the lid shut. Here's a picture: (with original rounded tip)


So I started tinkering and came up with the idea of lengthening the bottom portion towards the back of the hopper so that it would catch the lever. This works wonderfully! I can now flip the lid, tip the marker forwards fill it up, and snap the lid back down and it closes. Here's pictures of my template: (with extended tip)




Here's the actual template*:
