Amiibo Coin Box + Coins

Amiibo box and Amiibo coins

This amiibo box is a remix of sanka's amiibo coins box. I changed the size for fitting 18 amiibo coins and added separators between the coins. 

I also added an inlay amiibo logo. This logo is taken from the thingiverse user Blk_Rabbit. His model can be also found here.

The coins include NFC 215 tags. The tags have a diameter of 25mm and are 0.9m thick. They have to be insert into the coin, while printing. You can get this NFC tags from Amazon.

About printing the box:

I printed all parts from ASA in 0.15mm DETAIL, but PETG or PLA should also work. I think PLA should bring the best result. The cover uses the fake extruder methode. You need to simulate a second extruder, which will allow to have different colors in one layer. The amiibo logo in the cover is 0.6mm high (4 layers for 0.15 layer high), so 5 material changes are necessary during the print. More about the fake extruder methode can be found in this forum post.

I also included a cover without a logo, if you prefere to stick on your own logo.

(all screenshots have text in german language)

Make sure that the first layer is set to the same layer hight like the other layers. (0,15 mm)

Aktivate fake extruder in printer settings

Deaktivate the purge tower if activated

Update 04.06.2024

As scumfuc mentioned, there is a better way for a toolchange GCODE:

{if previous_extruder != -1} 
M104 S{temperature[next_extruder]} 
M600 
{endif}

The updated code prevents the printer from doing a toolchange before starting the first layer. Use this code instead of the previous one.

Thank you scumfuc!

The printer will pause and prompt you for the filament change. Do the change and purge material to get the new color clear. (It's like purgen when you do a normal filament load)

About printing the coins:

They coins are also printed in two colors. This color change is more easy, as you only need to change the filament once. To make this possible, add a color change in prusa slicer. To to this, slice the model and use the slider to set the position of the color change. (First layer of the text should be visible). Then use right mouse button on the + symbol and add color change.

The NFC tags are added to the model during the print. If you print more than one coin at the moment, you should take a picture for knowing which coin gets which tag.

Add a printer pause in the slicer just one layer before the space for the tag is closed by material. To add a pause, use the slider to set the layer where to pause, right click on the + and add the pause.

When the printer pause, insert each NFC tag in the correct coin, using the picture you took.

I also included one coin, without a text on the top.

If you would like to have your own text on a coin, just modify the Solidworks model, or ask in the comments for one. I will then upload a coin with your text.

If you like the model you can buy me a coffee. :)
