The only market options available are:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlimsy, limited plastic extenders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd expensive CSM-style replacement belt parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd frankly, both of these suck. They're not compatible with every belt, don't always work with belt attachments\/holders, are overpriced, and require multiple purchases if you want one for every belt in your collection to ensure they match the DX belt's colorway\/design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy aim was to fix all of these issues with this design; to create a simple-to-print, easy to assemble extension belt option, compatible with any standard DX\/Legend belt, and requiring only minimal, low-cost materials to do so so long as you have a 3D printer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd big thanks to chairhome on Thingiverse.

Identify the side of the clasp without the adjustable release, and cut about 4-5 inches from the edge of the clasp to give youself some space to work with.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/makerworld.bblmw.com\/makerworld\/model\/DSM00000001269972\/design\/2025-03-31_u97x59bcg52d.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter making the cut, use a lighter to lightly singe the cut edge to prevent future fraying. (For your safety, be careful to not hold the lighter to close to the edge and to apply heat for only a few seconds at most.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/makerworld.bblmw.com\/makerworld\/model\/DSM00000001269972\/design\/2025-03-31_mfwld846q95r.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrab one of your flat extension pieces and line up your cut edge like so.

A cleaner finish will ensure an easier fit of the pieces in the next step.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/makerworld.bblmw.com\/makerworld\/model\/DSM00000001269972\/design\/2025-03-31_w75zxpwjhc5i.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo finish this side of the extension, first take your belt and insert the holes through the pegs of one of the smaller pieces.

To do this, first readjust the length of the strap like so, with the adjustment buckle right up against the clasp, and the entire length of the strap on the underside.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/makerworld.bblmw.com\/makerworld\/model\/DSM00000001269972\/design\/2025-03-31_s1ujcy1fje76.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConnect both clasps together and, using one of your own DX belts as reference, hold the clasp we just finished where it would naturally llie on your waist. Using your fingers, identify where on the other side the cut should be made to fit your waist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/makerworld.bblmw.com\/makerworld\/model\/DSM00000001269972\/design\/2025-03-31_spkcy3zarg0o.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdd a few extra inches to create a bit of slack and ensure that your belt won't be too short before cutting. You can always adjust the strap afterwards, but this prevents you from accidentally cutting off too much. Then continue to repeat steps 2 through 4, using the remaining 2 printed pieces to finish constructing your extension. Now, simply adjust the strap until the fit is comfortable with whichever driver you use it for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/makerworld.bblmw.com\/makerworld\/model\/DSM00000001269972\/design\/2025-03-31_ycx37m2t6idr.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUpdate: 18\/04\/25\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdjusted the length of the male connector to make it compatible with earlier DX belts and their remolds (e.g. the Decadriver \u0026amp; Legendriver), of which the length of the female connection point is measured at 26mm rather than today's standard of 28mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHave also introduced a number of bevels on many of the model's edges to improve comfort when using the extension for long periods of time.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesign by weebsauce on MakerWorld (license: BY).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mymadmanlab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67448160878896,"sku":null,"price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/0809\/5280\/files\/0_aa3ffd63-a49a-4589-8d3c-7c17146e4d45.jpg?v=1785815595","url":"https:\/\/mymadmanlab.com\/products\/kamen-rider-dx-driver-belt-extension-adapter","provider":"Mymadmanlab.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
