Miband Band Extension Plate - to register activity when cycling and using similar gym equipment

The Xiaomi Mi Band is a popular low-cost health band, wearable technology that users may want for simple use when cycling or at the gym on an exercycle. Like most health bands, the Mi Band features a pedometer and monitors sleep, usually attached around your wrist and functioning through movement. But how does it track steps? When you walk or run, arms swing and these devices register that movement - not steps. This is okay in many instances but one common form of exercise that these do not register is cycling or exercising on similar equipment where arm movement is not adequate to record a 'step', regardless of physical exertion. The simple solution is to attach the band to your ankle when exercising this way. The problem is, unless you have small ankles, the band is too short. These simple extensions allow you to securely wear a Mi Band on your ankle so you can register every leg rotation as a step. As ankles differ in size quite significantly, four STLs are provided to suit S / M / L / XL ankles. The difference between sizes is 7.5mm in length, equivalent to one adjustment on the Mi Band strap. Approximate extension lengths are: S = 15mm, M = 25mm, L = 30mm, and XL = 35mm. But remember, you can still use standard holes in conjunction with this, so pick the one that is about what you need from the middle hole on your standard band. This small plate will print in just a few minutes to provide far more accurate Mi Band activity monitoring thereafter. Note: I expect the same issues exist with most other health bands, so the same concept could be applied.
