For the top and bottom faces you can make a disc hole and pause the print just before filling it in.
For the side faces you have to make a circle+square hole and pause it right before sealing up the top. So 3 pauses total, and the whole print takes about 45 minutes, ~40g of PLA.
I don't know what it's useful for (that's why it's just an idea) but maybe like a game where you roll the dice and scan with your phone to see the result. Not having data printed on the dice means you can program each side to mean something different based on the context.
You could either write each side any time you want to change it, or (better I think) have a backend that knows the current state and reacts to requests from URLs for each side to show you the result.

D6 with holes embedded for these NFC discs on each face.

Here's how far I've gotten so far: NFCube.zip
