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.

    I have to say, if I got spam like that through a form like this, I wouldn’t take a picture.

    I’d frame it, and then I’d take a picture. Maybe on the fireplace mantle, maybe on the piano, but somewhere prominent.

    (Until my wife asked what stupid shit I had framed, and its life after would depend entirely on whether or not she found it funny)
