Adafruit IoT Pi Printer Project Pack - Includes Raspberry Pi

The Adafruit IoT Pi Printer Project Pack is a complete kit for building an internet-connected mini thermal printer powered by a Raspberry Pi. Once assembled, the printer connects wirelessly to fetch and print data from the internet — weather forecasts, sudoku puzzles, tweets, images, and more.

All example code is written in Python and is open source, making it easy to adapt and write your own custom printer applications. The kit includes a laser-cut enclosure, thermal printer, power supply, and all required components. Some basic soldering and assembly is required.
