Bill of Materials
- ACR122U NFC Reader/Writer x 1:
Description
Transform your PC setup into a physical gaming console!
This dock is a custom-fit premium housing for the popular ACR122U NFC Reader. It upgrades the functional "office look" of the reader into a stylish gaming accessory that fits perfectly on any desk.
The design consists of two parts (top cover and base) that are securely screwed together. Best of all: You do not need to open or modify the reader itself.

Highlights
- Two-Part Design: Includes the main top cover with the integrated SHELFMODE logo and a precise base plate.
- Plug & Play: Simply drop the ACR122U in as a whole – no "case swapping" or voiding your warranty.
- Solid Construction: The screwed assembly adds weight and stability to your desk.
- Software Tip: Perfectly designed for use with Zaparoo to launch Steam games, apps, or macros via NFC cartridges.
Three Design Variants Included
Choose the version that best fits your printer setup:
- Modular Version: Features a separate logo inlay. Perfect for printing the logo in a different color without an AMS. Simply snap/glue it in.
- AMS Version: Optimized for multi-material printing (e.g., Bambu Lab AMS). The logo is integrated for a seamless, flush finish.
- Plain Version: A clean, minimalist design without any branding for a sleek, stealth look.
Required Hardware
- NFC Reader: ACR122U NFC Reader/Writer.
- Screws: 4x M3x10 fine-thread screws.
- Note: The screws are driven directly into the plastic. No heat-stake inserts are required.

- Supports: Normal.
- Threshold Angle: 20°.
