NFC Wi-Fi Connector ed. 2026

NFC Wi-Fi Connector – 2026 Edition

The NFC Wi-Fi Connector returns in a completely redesigned 2026 edition, featuring a more practical NFC TAG mounting system and two versions optimized for printing with or without an MMU.

This model allows you to share access to a Wi-Fi network through an NFC TAG. Simply bring a compatible smartphone close to the connector to read the information stored on the TAG. It is a simple and tidy way to provide Wi-Fi access at home, in an office or in a public space without having to communicate or manually enter the password.

New NFC TAG holder

The main improvement introduced with the 2026 edition is the redesigned NFC TAG holder. In the previous model, the TAG could be accessed through a screw cap located on the back. In this new version, the entire system has been redesigned and integrated into one of the side trim pieces.

The holder has a diameter of 25.4 mm and is suitable for round NFC TAGs with a maximum diameter of 25 mm.

A crescent-shaped notch has been added to the back of the main body, making it easier to grip and remove the component containing the TAG. This allows the NFC TAG to be replaced without disassembling or reprinting the entire connector.

MMU version

The MMU version allows the main body and the contrasting decorative details to be produced in a single multicolor printing process.

The only component that needs to be printed separately is the small side cover containing the NFC TAG holder. After inserting the TAG, the cover can be placed inside the connector body to complete the side finish.

This version requires very little assembly and makes it easy to achieve a clean and consistent multicolor result.

Non-MMU version

The non-MMU version has been designed to create the same multicolor effect using a standard single-extruder 3D printer.

The main body and the two side trim pieces must be printed separately, allowing you to choose any color combination you prefer.

One trim piece must be secured to the body with a small amount of glue. The second trim piece contains the NFC TAG holder and slides into the connector body like a drawer.

Once inserted, it closes the opening while also completing the side finish of the model.

The crescent-shaped notch on the back makes this drawer easier to remove whenever the NFC TAG needs to be replaced or reprogrammed.

Recommended print settings

For optimal results, I recommend the following settings:

• 0.4 mm nozzle

• 0.2 mm layer height

• 5% Gyroid infill

• 2 walls

• Outer brim

When printing the non-MMU version, the outer brim should not be used for the two side trim pieces.
