MiniTap Base
Bring your tabletop RPG characters into the digital age! MiniTap Base is a custom 3D-printable base adapter that seamlessly houses an NFC tag underneath your standard TTRPG miniatures. With a quick tap of a smartphone, your physical mini can instantly pull up a character sheet, display a 3D model turnaround, or reveal a hidden backstory.
This base is perfectly scaled and designed to be fully compatible with the default circular bases from popular custom mini creators like HeroForge and Eldritch Foundry.
Features
- Perfect Fit: Matches the footprint of standard RPG bases.
- Hidden Tech: Features a recessed slot specifically sized to comfortably fit standard circular NFC sticker tags.
- Seamless Upgrade: Just stick the tag in the bottom and glue your existing mini to the top. The tech stays completely hidden.
The MiniTap Website To get the absolute most out of this printed base, pair it with the MiniTap Web App.
I built a lightweight, open-source tool that lets you generate sleek, mobile-friendly profile pages for your minis, complete with customizable themes, 3D model viewers, stats, and bios. The app generates a link that you can easily write directly to your NFC tag.

Printing Material: PLA, PETG, or Resin all work great. Supports: None required! Print it completely flat on the build plate. Resolution: 0.12mm or 0.2mm layer heights work perfectly.
