Tap-to-pay wand · 3D printed in the USA
Tap to pay.
Look like a plant.
PotWand holds your contactless credit or debit card inside a cannabis leaf. Hold the handle, tap the leaf on any reader, and you're paid. No app, no battery, no wallet.
How it works
Slide it in.
Wave it around.
Money goes away.
The wand is just a holder. Your bank card does the paying. The leaf is printed thin over the card's antenna so the tap reads exactly like the card would on its own.
Slide your card into the leaf
The slot enters from the stem and runs up inside the leaf. Push a standard contactless card in until it seats. From the front, the card is hidden. Only a sliver shows at the base.
Click on a handle
The head has a rectangular tab. Every handle has the same socket. Push them together and it's a wand. Swap handles whenever you want a different grip or color.
Tap the leaf on the reader
Lay the leaf flat on the contactless pad, the same way you'd tap the card. Drive-thru, bar, grocery, dispensary. Anywhere that takes tap-to-pay takes PotWand.
Build yours
One head.
Five handles.
The leaf is the product and it never changes. The handle is where you get opinions. Pick a shape, pick a finish, and reserve that exact build.
Finishes
Same leaf.
Different spool.
Color lives in the filament, not in paint. Three solid silks are the standing lineup. The dual-color silks run as limited drops when the farm can run them.

Specs
Built around
a real card.
Every dimension starts from the card. The slot is a CR80 pocket with a hair of clearance, the leaf face over the antenna is printed thin, and the stem joint is printed thick.
| Fits | Any standard CR80 card — 85.60 × 53.98 × 0.76 mm. That's every credit, debit, and transit card in your wallet. |
|---|---|
| Card type | Contactless (NFC / tap-to-pay). Chip and swipe still work if you pull the card out. |
| Card visibility | Hidden inside the leaf. Only a sliver shows at the stem. No window, no printed numbers. |
| Head | Seven-leaflet cannabis leaf, veined, solid front. About 125 mm wide, 135 mm tall, 5 mm thick. |
| Handle | Five shapes on one socket. Stock Classic Taper is about 160 mm long with a 20 mm grip. |
| Assembly | Two parts. Tab on the head, socket in the handle. Press fit, no glue, no threads. |
| Material | Silk PLA+. High sheen, visible layer lines. Extra walls at the stem joint. |
| Electronics | None. The wand is passive. Your card does the talking. |
| Made | FDM printed in the USA on Slant 3D's farm. Two parts, each printed in its ideal orientation. |
What's in the box
- One PotWand leaf head in your finish
- One handle in the shape you picked
- A card that says how to seat the card
- No credit card. Bring your own.
Dimensions are the production targets. Final numbers are confirmed against the first Slant 3D sample before the batch ships.
Manufacturing
Printed on a farm in the USA. Not a desk printer in a garage. Every wand comes off Slant 3D's production line in two parts, each printed the way it prints best.
Printed flat so the card slot stays clean and the face over the antenna stays thin. No support material inside the pocket, ever.
Printed standing so the grip is strong along its length and the stem joint doesn't snap. Silk looks best and breaks easiest, so the collar gets extra walls.
A real card goes in and out of every batch sample. One wand per batch gets tapped on a live reader before anything ships.
First batch ships from the US to the waitlist in order. Handles and limited finishes go to the list first.
Where it works
Anywhere a card taps.
If the terminal has the contactless symbol, the leaf works. That's most of them now.
FAQ
Quick ones.
The questions people ask at the counter, answered before you get there.
Does a card come with it?
No. PotWand is a holder. Slide in your own contactless credit or debit card. Contactless has to be enabled on the card, which it is on almost every card issued in the last few years.
Will tap-to-pay actually work through plastic?
Yes. NFC reads through thin plastic without any trouble. The leaf face over the card antenna is printed at about a millimeter. If a tap ever fails, the fix is seating the card deeper, not tapping harder.
Can I use Apple Pay or Google Pay with it?
No. The wand holds a physical card. Your phone stays in your pocket, which is kind of the point.
Is the card stuck in there forever?
No. Pull the handle off, slide the card out. The slot is a friction fit sized for a CR80 card with a little clearance. Don't force a stuck card. Flex the slot gently and it lets go.
Why is it two parts?
Because one-piece prints force a bad compromise: either the card slot fills with support material or the handle prints weak. Splitting them lets the leaf print flat and the handle print standing. It also means you can swap handles.
Can I mix a pink twist handle with an emerald leaf?
Yes. Every handle uses the same socket. Mix shapes and finishes however you want. Extra handles are their own line item on the reserve form.
Can I wash it? Leave it in the car?
Wipe it. Don't dishwasher it. Don't leave it on a hot dashboard in August. PLA softens in a hot car. Silk PLA looks great and snaps easier than boring PLA, so treat it like a novelty, not a hammer.
When does it ship?
The first batch ships once the Slant 3D sample passes a real card fit and a real reader tap. The waitlist gets the exact date and first-batch pricing by email before anyone else.
