Hi,

this is my first post on lemmy and I couldn’t find another community that fits better for posting this project.

I saw this idea somewhere else and I wanted to build it for myself because I was fascinated by it. So I did. You can enter your nick name, a message (optional email address and image) and send it to me. It will print immediately and I will see your message. There’s also an easter egg that you can discover. :)

I am using a Phomemo M02 Pro thermal printer. Made with Python (printer communication via bleak, phomemo_printer, PIL) and Node/Express.js. With my Python script I poll the data from the backend to print.

The messages I already got are so funny and positive haha. I think I will cut them all out and scan them.

EDIT: I just woke up and saw all the messages. Thank you so much :)

EDIT2: I got a few messages that made me smile. Very original. Positive messages from all around the world. Since I got almost 200 messages and over 30 images, I think I will pick the most original and funny ones and post here an update

    I have a spare Raspberry Pi Zero and I actually want to do exactly this but I have concerns since it shows pictures also. Some people might upload or send pictures against the law. Maybe I can integrate a moderation AI model. But this is a side project, I have to care about my main project.
