NFC PAL Keys from Metal Gear Solid

This is a recreation of the infamous PAL key from MGS1 with NFC functionality. There are 3 keys - one for each temperature. It may be quicker to place each key on it's own plate to reduce filament waste / swaps.

Originally this was printed with a 0.2mm nozzle, however it can be printed with a 0.4mm nozzle, however, there may be a slight loss in the text details.

To embed an NFC tag, pause the print on the layer which covers the NFC hole, place the tag(s) (a small amount of CA glue can help keep it set), then resume the print. The tag will be embedded in the key card.

I used these NFC tags in the design, if you use a different set, you may need to check the dimensions before printing.

To program the NFC tag after printing (it's a good idea to check that the tags work before embedded them) there are a few options
