Description

I have designed a simple case for NFC tags. The plan was to make clones of my children's Tonies, as the originals take up too much space when travelling. A magnet can be placed in the centre so that the tags stick to the Toniebox (and other tags).

The model is designed for 10x3mm magnets and the inner diameter is 39mm. If this does not suit you: I have attached a parameterised Fusion 360 file, where all relevant dimensions (incl. tolerance) can be freely set. However, you should bear in mind that the NFC tags need a certain distance (at least 4mm) from the Toniebox in order to be recognised reliably.

If you are not familiar with Fusion 360, you can also leave a comment with the desired dimensions and I will upload an appropriate model.

Recommendations:

Use PETG. PLA could be too brittle.
I used Overture PETG Clear for the lid.
Model is designed for 0.2 mm layer height
Magnets 10x3mm
NFC tags

Love this model. Despite the case has a diameter of 4cm and my NFC tags are smaller, I went with it. The size suits the Toniebox better and the images in the case are larger. Tips: Adding some hot glue for extra weight and printing the images on photo paper so they have nice colors and contrasts. Follow the recommendations and don't mess with the printing settings of the lid if you want the best transparency.

Looks nice! Thanks for the detailed feedback. If you want an even better transparency, give this profile a try: https://makerworld.com/en/models/40765 Print time is way longer, but transparency is definately better. btw: I could upload a model with full infill (except hole for the magnet) if you're interested in.

Replying to @clavo :

I will definitely try the profile! And a model with more infill sounds interesting too. Many thanks!

Printed with white PLA, looks great.

Hi & thank you very much! I guess i had to learn Fusion 360 - i have a bunch of unused 12mm x 1,8mm magnets and need to change the model a bit :-D Thank you very much for the inspiration!

@clavo

Thanks! It's quite easy, you just have to change the corresponding parameters and export the model afterwards. Get in touch with me if you can't manage it, I can also upload a model for you.

Nice and clean model. Still figuring out how to print transparent PETG as glas like as possible.

What do you use to write to these nfc cards? Can you use a flipper zero?

The designer has replied

@clavo

You don't need to write to the NFC tags. You just need to read its UID, this can be done with any NFC reader (ex. smartphone). You can find all details here: https://tonies-wiki.revvox.de/docs/wiki/general/audio-file-format/
