ya know, if my looming midlife crisis ends up being nothing more than a return to physical media and a step back from the attention economy, I've done all right for myself.

My retro style NFC reader IS DONE! It takes credit card style NFC cards and game cartridges with an embedded NFC tag inside. Find the model on Makerworld, which includes the card reader, game carts and an insert for Cassette cases. Please enjoy. makerworld.com/en/models/19...

The model is done! I think this turned out great and allows everyone to make it as colorful as they wanna. Color coding the cartridges also came to mind. I'm gonna hold off on releasing the model for a little bit, I'm waiting for the NFC tags to come in so I can test putting them into the cart.

Thanks so much! What I like about it, is because it's divided up in three parts, you can really mix and match the coloring and swap out elements when you're bored of it. Plus for another pop of color you could print the cartridge in all sorts of filament.

Thanks! Here's another take on the top grill (ignore the scuff, that's what I'm dialing in lol)

working on an NFC "game" reader that takes both cards and cartridges with an embedded tag. using Zaparoo by
@wizzo.dev for my MiSTerPi by @takiudon.bsky.social. 3mf will probably be up on Makerworld when I've fully dialed in the print.
