Parking Card Extender

🚗 Parking Card Extender (Anti-Stretch)

Tired of having to contort yourself or open the car door because you can't reach the parking reader? This card extender is the ultimate solution. Ideal for public, community, or toll parking lots. It is designed in two pieces (handle and card holder arm) to facilitate printing and maximize resistance.

🛠️ Printing Tips and Materials

To ensure the object lasts and withstands daily wear and tear, I strongly recommend the following combination of materials:

• Arm / Card Holder: Use PETG! ⚠️ Cars parked in the sun turn into veritable ovens. If you print this part in PLA, the heat inside the car will completely deform it. PETG perfectly withstands high summer temperatures inside the car without losing rigidity.
• Supports: PETG on PETG. To achieve the best aesthetic and surface finish in the card holder area, configure the supports also using PETG. By properly adjusting the contact distance, the finish will be clean and professional.
• Handle: PLA (Optional). The handle is thicker and more robust, so you can print it in PLA if you want to take advantage of its variety of colors or textures (as seen in the photos with warning colors). Being a solid piece and located in the lower area, it holds up better, although if you prefer to be safe, PETG is always welcome.

🔧 Assembly

The design features a very firm snap fit. However, it is recommended to apply a few drops of super glue at the joint of the handle and the arm to ensure it never moves.
