Magic Band extender

thingiverse

If you've ever gone to Disney's Fort Wilderness Campground and Resort with a Class A Motorhome...you've probably felt like your arm was too short to reach the gate scanner when coming in the side gate to the Resort. Instead of hanging out the driver's side window to get your Magic Band close enough to trigger the gate...you can simply mount this THING on a 3/8" dowel of your choosing. Then fasten your Magic Band around the THING. Now you can extend your reach to the gate scanner comfortably, without hanging out the window like a crazy person. Enjoy!!! See ya'll at the Fort!!! Revised the file...wider to better accept the magic band...and a little cleaner on the handle end. MickeyBand_New file is a remixed version to accept the Latest version of Magic Band. Disney has changed the styling a bit...the RFID module is now screwed into the wrist band, and the front has a wider rounded appearance. Post-Printing Reaming the rod opening I found that the dimensions of the part are a little tight... If shoving a 3/8" dowel into the part...due to the force on the laminations the part will crack. I recommend first to wrap the tube extension with electrical tape to keep compression on it...while slowly reaming with a 3/8" drill bit. Then...with the part smoothed out and properly dimensioned...you can apply a bit of glue to the tip of a dowel...and slip it into place without splitting the part.
