Description
Note: This design is meant to work with 25mm round NFC stickers (Ntag213/Ntag216/Ntag216)
My 3D printer (Snapmaker U1) has RFID readers which can read NFC tags with Snapmaker U1 Paxx12 Extended Firmware if the spools are side mounted.
I own several Polydryer boxes and utilize them to store and print directly from them and I needed NFC tags which can be placed near the printers to be read during loading.Â
I was inspired by the simplicity of hook mounting holes created by fellow maker @remmulegguh that allows these NFC tags to be easily placed almost everywhere.
I also wanted to be able to identify the tags by colors and thus I added a small filament window on the tag to allow me to attach a 1.75mm filament sample which can be easily replaced.
Â
A print pause is required to allow you to place the NFC sticker after the layer passes 1.4mm where there is a 0.2mm cavity for pasting the sticker.
Note: Set pause at layer 7 if using 0.2mm printing line height
