✨ Features

• 📌 Pause for NFC Chip Placement – The model includes a built-in pause in the print (G-code pause) where you can insert your NFC tag into the prepared cavity, then resume printing for a perfectly embedded chip.
• 🔡 Enlarged Font – The text on the tag is now larger, improving readability and the overall print quality, ensuring names, contact info, or NFC links are clear.
• 🛠️ Customizable – Easily edit the name or contact information in your slicer software (e.g., Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer) before printing.
• 🐶 Stylish Design – Shaped like a typical dog tag, ideal for attaching to collars.
• 📱 Functional NFC Slot – Store owner contact info, social media links, or pet medical details on the embedded NFC chip.

📦 How It Works

1. Print the model – Use standard settings for PLA/PETG; the cavity and guides for the NFC chip are already included.
2. Printer pauses at the correct layer – Insert your NFC chip into the cavity during this pause.
3. Resume printing – The tag will be securely enclosed in the printed model, creating a clean, professional finish.
4. Program your NFC chip – After printing, store contact info or any other information using a mobile app.
