NFC Connector

NFC Connector – Instant sharing, no typing needed

NFC Connector is a practical device designed to make digital content sharing easier and faster. Thanks to its design, it is designed to host a programmable NFC TAG (maximum size 28 mm in diameter and 0.8 mm thick), turning into a smartphone base that allows you to transfer contacts, links, social media, videos, music, Wi-Fi access and much more with a single gesture.

Simply place a device with active NFC on the base to trigger the stored function on the TAG, eliminating the need to manually type information.

Operation and programming

Programming the NFC TAG is simple: just use an NFC-enabled smartphone and a dedicated app such as NFC Tools Pro. Once the content is written on the chip, each interaction becomes automatic and immediate.

The slot for the TAG is located next to the writings on the external front face, inside the model, and has been designed to be easily accessible during the printing process. With a print set at 0.2 mm per layer, it is necessary to set a pause (M600) at layer 194, insert the NFC TAG and resume printing. The provided 3MF file already includes this pause, making the process even easier.

Recommended print settings

• Nozzle 0.4 mm
• Layer height 0.2 mm
• Infill 8% grid
• External Brim 5 mm (recommended)

An important design choice concerns the side profiles, which are meant to be printed individually. This makes it possible to customize colors without relying on long filament changes on a single model. If the project had been designed as a one-piece print with color changes, the printing time would have been much longer and the amount of waste material too high. This solution therefore saves time and filament, while maintaining an excellent aesthetic and practical result.

Available versions for Print&Sell Plan

The model is provided in several variants, each with pre-integrated symbols related to specific functions:

• Social media
• Contacts and messaging

NFC Connector is useful in contexts where speed and ease of access are essential, such as:

• Offices and workspaces to share contacts or digital materials
• Restaurants, hotels and B&Bs to provide information, menus or Wi-Fi access to guests
• Schools and public places to distribute digital resources and links

License and limitations

• Allowed: printing and using the model in private or commercial environments.
