Trivially easy to send just a string over the network and have it print. Linux drivers are built into CUPS. Takes any labels. I'm stupid excited that it is exactly what I hoped it would be.

I'm sorry I missed you. Yes, I will be shipping any badges not picked up this coming week. Keep an eye out for an email to confirm.

The NeoSword is a totally over-the-top interactive SAO totem that lights up and makes noise every time you move it. Swing it, spin it, show off your best (questionable) sword skills. Powered by MicroPython and 4 AA batteries, it’s fully hackable and just waiting for you to break, uh, “customize” it.

I did a PCB that used gameboy buttons but it took a LOT of force to activate them. Do you use a specific PCB manufacturing technique for them? That looks like ENIG in the render.
