I made this thing, appreciate the attention and kind words, to answer some questions/concerns:

- Paper is BPA free, got it from here https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0932QVYBQ

- Photos do have a lifetime, although no idea how long, the ones I have for a while seem to do better than the average store receipt

- It's not really _poor man's_ polaroid, but as someone else mentioned, price difference is not that big, while a single photo is a LOT cheaper

And there's a permalink for english language, in case OP or someone else can update it - https://boxart.lt/en/blog/poor_mans_polaroid

> Paper is BPA free, got it from here

For those as paranoid as myself:

Common BPA substitutes, often used in "BPA-free" products, include Bisphenol S (BPS), Bisphenol F (BPF), Bisphenol AF (BPAF), and Bisphenol Z (BPZ). While marketed as safer alternatives, these analogs often share similar endocrine-disrupting properties and structural similarities to BPA, raising concerns about "regrettable substitution".

I don’t let my kids come in contact with anything “BPA Free” and we avoid plastics as much as possible.


How customizeable is the programming of the thermal printers? Whenever I see the dot prints of these thermal print cameras I wonder if I could make it look better using more modern dithering algorithms, e.g. Ostromoukhov dithering:
