Anyone playing with Meshtastic in the area? I just ordered the Wio board from Seeed Studio.

I’ve been printing on the 3D printers using the SD cards, and I wanted to prototype a way to do remote monitoring and control of the printers (mostly allow remote print cancellation if something went bad).

I’ve got an idea for a project (well, like 11% of an idea), but would need to 3d print a small facsimile of Sugar Loaf. Anyone know of an easy way to build that model from some online source?

The idea of using the badges or other NFC tags we have for various convenience things around the makerspace is interesting to me, so I put together a simple prototype using an ESP32-C5, NXP PN532 and small display.
