News about OpenPrintTag...NFC on spool holder side?

Unfortunately, it seems Reddit is more the "official" plattform to communicate with users...but @tommy_prusa3d-cm posted this on Reddit:

Seems to be a NFC reader on the side of the spoolholder. 

What a dream combination would this device NFC combined with https://www.printables.com/model/1627274-roll-weight-measuring-spool-holder

PCB is dated 07/2025. You can't accuse them of rushing things out...

Wonder if this will be included with the BondTech Founder's INDX Founder's edition. They told me "complete kit" but unfortunately, that could mean anything.

Four PCBs, eight antennas? No way they will toss that in for free, if it is not even part of the single-spool printers.

As far as I know it's not planned for it to be bundled with the INDX upgrade but a standalone thing. It's still a while from coming out though so we can't share too much yet, just wanted to get the picture of the board out for some fun speculation

I suspect it will become standard with future printers once it's implemented but that's just an assumption from my side.

About messing with it, connecting it to the printer was simple, and I'm trying to make some super basic autoloading procedure now, but haven't had much time to mess with it. Hoping for some free time on the weekend

... Aren't you employed by Prusa? 😄 Is this your hobby project? I hope you don't burn yourself out.

RE:

Being employed doesn't mean I don't get to have some fun! 😀

For most of us working here, printing is a hobby too
