The OpenPrinter project (see the CrowdSupply project’s page) aims to create an open source repairable printer. It has some interesting features.
I was starting to believe the project was dead but they gave some news on their progress today : https://www.crowdsupply.com/open-tools/open-printer/updates/progress-update-and-details-about-our-nomination-for-a-french-design-award.
I post it here since the project is lead by french people and would be an alternative to many printer manufacturer.
I came across a wireless thermal printer at a thrift store a while back for 5 bucks. Prints from a roll like the one in the picture but the roll is stored inside the printer. And it’s about 1/3 the size of the one in the picture. Paper is cheap too, I can get about 23 pages per roll, and a 2 pack of rolls is $12. For the amount I print it’s nice.
