For daily to-dos a generic 58mm Chinese ones is probably enough. For pen and paper stuff I highly recommend going with anything 80mm, as 58mm can be too narrow... Search "58mm usb thermal receipt printer esc/pos" on…
Thanks for posting my project! was wondering where the influx of GitHub stars came from :)
That's the approach I used for my thermal printer based project. Render HTML/CSS to B/W Image and then print it on the thermal printer. https://sales-and-dungeons.app/
Cool to see core war! I feel it's mostly forgotten by now. My dad is still playing it to this day though and even attends tournaments
Isn't your problem more about Color quantization than about dithering? If you have big character cells like in a terminal dithering won't help you much. For each cell you want to find the best shaped cell and a…
Sorry for the confusion. The use-case is a little difference because the goal is to display the image as close to the original as possible with the limitation of only being able to use a forground color, background…
In the "Image to Terminal character" space this is also a known solution. Map characters to their shape and then pick the one with the lowest diff to the real chunk in the image. If you consider that you have a…

Thank you for posting my project :D
You can often times find them for really cheap on the secondary market. Like old ones from a restaurant. I got quite a few for very cheap over the years. One was 20$ for a 80mm one. So maybe that's a low budget option…
Always happy to see other thermal printer projects :D I have my own project for using these for TTRPGs: https://sales-and-dungeons.app/
Always stand up at 07:00 am. Take supplements against my migrains with a good amount of tap water. Eat the same oatmeal with some cacao powder and oat milk just to get some food in my system. Then I do about 45 - 60 min…
That looks like a fun project to build!
I switched from Goland to Zed. Works really well. Only missing debugger support... After that it would be perfect for my usage :)
I tried to use zeds SSH remoting for a work project. Typescript with big codebase and sadly the performance is a rollercoaster. Types sometimes load so slow that it's unusable. VSCode remote doesn't seem to have this…
Thanks a lot! Thermal printer as DIY thingy are quite a niche, but they are very fun to play around with
The same project I'm working on since about 5 years. Using thermal printer as TTRPG utility :) https://sales-and-dungeons.app/
I use Thermal Printer for a different use-case (TTRPG stuff). Feel free to check it out :) https://github.com/BigJk/snd
Thermal Printer as D&D / TTRPG utility: https://github.com/BigJk/snd
This! Most of my creativity in private projects stems from having build a broad space of knowledge/experiences. Having tinkered with a lot of different disconnected things really helps me find interesting bits to…
Bubbletea is great and fun to work with. Even building a terminal game with it since a while :)
A "slay the spire"-like deck builder game that can run in the terminal, but with full mouse support + images: https://github.com/BigJk/end_of_eden And my long-time project. A Dungeons & Dragons utility to use Thermal…
Literally the same for me. Both the object + relation part and the 3D construction. I can't see anything in my mind yet I can construct the full geometry of my living room very detailed just from memory or can easily…
Corewars is great and was my first contact with programming when I was a child, as my father was (and still is) a very active member of its small community. I also won two youth computer science contests with a topic…
Since a few years I'm developing a free and open source tool for D&D and TTRPGs in general, that let's you design handy printouts to print on thermal printers. Thermal printers are small in size and the format is…
