> I take your meaning with the wax and such, but I think my solution would just be to go bigger and store less data. And I mean bigger like, 20 characters per print bed, or something. But then, at that scale, maybe a QR code would hold up well enough in plastic, too?

Only way to know is to try it! I think you might be surprised. QR codes (with high redundancy settings) are very resistant to corruption.

The idea with the wax is to transfer the data into a more durable final product... Lost wax casting, you print wax, cover the wax in plaster, melt the wax, pour a metal (or epoxy) into the plaster mold.
