 Extensions for Bb and bass clarinets

A little background on me: I'm currently a mechanical engineering student who's been clarinet for over 10 years who also plays saxophone.

Lately, I've been really into learning about clarinet history, the different systems, keys, etc. Among the first of my interests is the full Boehm (which I now own) which had a low Eb. I recently got my own 3d printer and decided to try my hand at creating a removable extension for my Yamaha student clarinet to add this note. (First two pictures) Because the lever is PLA plastic, it flexes a little too much for my taste, but other than that, it works as planned.

After this, I set out to create a low D extension for my low Eb bass clarinet since I also play bari sax and wanted to play the same music. Overall, this one was a little easier and more useful and doesn't have issues with flexing. I'm actually pretty happy with this and hope to make two more extensions to give me the range to low C in the future.
