Earlier today, I got a cheap handheld thermal printer, and I'm already having a lot of fun with it!

It reminds me a lot of the old Game Boy Printer. The quality is a bit faded, but still alright for twenty bucks. Do any of y'all have a printer like this?

@ghost oh yeah, it's far from super fancy - it reminds me of the old Game Boy Printer - but it's nice to have for cheap stickers and notes. I'm already having a blast with it!

@comchia I have one too! The best thing is someone reverse-engineered the protocol so you can print to it from a computer as well https://github.com/rbaron/catprinter

@kalleboo cool! That'll be useful when I'm printing my own pixel art. I've already started doing that!

@vga256 @billgoats nice! I like how functional and easy to use it is. The anime style is cute too. :P

@comchia Their output is truly ephemeral, unless you laminate your prints ;)
