Pi-Print: build a cheap bluetooth printer for ugly prints

Quite often during parties, people could use their phone to take not-always-very-artistic pictures. Let’s make a printer these photographs deserve.

Send an image file with bluetooth, and print it!

Mainly inspired by the [ch00f] PrintSnap Instant Camera.

and the Polatherm Instant Camera.
