Adafruit IoT Pi Printer Project Pack - Includes Raspberry Pi

Discontinued

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.

Key Features

  • Internet-Connected Printer – Fetch and print data from web APIs including weather, Twitter, and more
  • Laser-Cut Enclosure – Attractive wooden case with hardware included
  • Open Source Python Code – Example scripts for weather, sudoku, image printing, and tweet searching
  • Thermal Receipt Printer – Prints on standard 2¼" wide receipt paper
  • LED Push Button – Rugged metal button with white LED ring for triggering prints
  • Complete Component Kit – Everything you need except the Raspberry Pi itself
