I did this recently, though on a much lower budget. You don’t need to buy a new $150 magic keyboard or a 3d printer.
1. Buy an old A2449 keyboard, ideally one with broken keys or battery but working touch ID. I got mine for $45 shipped. Recent listing example: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=magic+keyboard+a2449&_sacat=0&LH_BIN=1&_sop=15&_psop=15&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1 https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=magic+keyboard+a2449&_s...
2. Pry it apart as described in the article (really, there is so much glue) and then use some spare Legos to make an enclosure like this person: https://grepjason.sh/2022/standalone-touch-id-part-2 https://grepjason.sh/2022/standalone-touch-id-part-2
The standalone Touch ID key button is just under the size of 2x2x1 Lego. I integrated mine into a space diorama set for better vibes: https://imgur.com/a/Im7t9Xb https://imgur.com/a/Im7t9Xb
