Order up! Maddie D. Reese made this project to receive physical messages. You can use the link here or here to submit a ticket and Maddie’s printer will print it out. Fun project with a video on the way. What you you do with a personal message printer?
The project is open source, and uses a Raspberry Pi 4B, thermal receipt printer and Convex database. Maddie also acknowledges using using ChatGPT to help with the build. Via GitHub:
A web-based ticket submission system that automatically prints tickets on ESC/POS thermal printers connected to a Raspberry Pi. Users can submit tickets through a simple web interface, which are then automatically printed with timestamps and formatted output.
Perfect for:
- Q&A sessions and feedback collection at events
- Anonymous comment boards
- Interactive installations
- Physical message boards

TronicsFix tears into a Switch 2. They take a look at the components and assesses the repairability. So far repairability is comparable to the original switch an will rely on the community to come up with solutions to common issues. Checkout the video below!
And checkout their recent followup video where TronixFix takes a swing at repairing a broken switch 2 from E-bay. Ultimately its a dead end, but a fun watch and more to come:
I Bought the First Broken Switch 2 on eBay – Can I Fix It?! The seller said this Nintendo Switch 2 went through the washing machine! I’m expecting liquid damage, of course, and the kind of liquid damage that might not be fixable. But I’m still going to give it a try and see if I can get it working again.
