    For our use case the 80mm width was a tad too small. If you're printing "landscape" on the thermal printer, the text not big enough to fit a ticket title in a reasonably sized sticky note. It works, but it's not really readable from more than a few meters.

    The paper is from MaxStick (no affiliation). Depending on your use case, pick a glue pattern without full coverage (e.g. center adhesive), so you can easily move the paper without having to pry your fingernails under an edge.

    Sales & Dungeons — Thermal Printer as D&D / TTRPG Utility

  • esp32-phomemo-gameboy-printer

    A Game Boy Printer emulator that supports the Phomemo T02 printer

    I bought all the equipment to do something like this a while ago, and wanted to set up a script that would print a daily briefing every morning. Then I realized that I would basically be generating tons of garbage for an absolutely frivolous purpose, so I never did it.

    I did end up reusing the printer to turn it into a Game Boy Printer, though! ...And I make sure to only print pictures I plan on keeping. ;)

  • automated-ticket-printer

    This project is an automated solution to print tickets and items as they get assigned.

    Oh man, a friend of mine did exactly the same thing back in college, but using a tessel instead of a rpi: https://github.com/JRJurman/automated-ticket-printer

    In action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOBhAbXNgUI

    IIRC, he actually used it on coop for awhile with a physical ticket spike to store completed tickets on. It's pretty cool to see when the issue volume is just right.
