We built this printer to take Snapchat screenshots sent to us and print them out at events. It got a little nutty when we decided to put the hardware into a tiny box and 3M-tape it to walls. The faceplate of the printer is the actual Snapcode that users send their Snaps to, and a modified inkless printer (along with batteries, lighting, mifi, ddwrt router, cooling, and other electronics...) is jammed inside.
'Social Printers' a kinda a thing these days with Instaprint and others, but I think this is more equivalent to a photobooth or putting a bunch of disposable cameras on the tables at a wedding.
