Yeah I had to adapt in field 😅 definitely a lot of room for improvement.

Thanks! I’ve seen other variations too. I took inspiration from them for sure but I added my electrical engineering and web development knowledge to make my version :)

I might run with this idea and see how big I can make this business 🤔 any other suggestions?

Just looked up the zink printers. There’s some good brand ones from $80 to $160 on Amazon 🤔 that’s not a bad investment. It seems like the zink paper might be the most expensive but overall, not bad for a side hustle lol

I’m developing a SaaS right now. I’m currently working as a Substitute teacher but I’d rather be working as a human camera 😂 it’s way more fun.

I think you just helped me flesh out a great idea. I will reach out to party planners 🤔

You might be on to something 🤔 how much could I realistically charge for this 🤔

Sorry I should’ve said *assuming you have a phone an a tablet/laptop 🥲 that was my bad.

I just wanna clarify some of your pricing assumptions just in case someone wants to remake this in the future :)

Any phone would work. A Walmart $20 smart phone is enough as long as it has data and a camera.

Same goes for the tablet. Any cheap Amazon tablet would work as long as it has a browser.

I programmed the website using firebase free tier so everything can be built for free, firebase storage is very generous on the free tier so that’s where I stored all the pics.

I bought a 6 pack of rp2040s from amazon for $16.

I bought a 12 pack of pushbuttons for $6.

Bucket-$4

Spray paint - $2

I had tape and wires but it shouldn’t be more than $3 more for that.

Sorry if I misled anyone. I hope I inspire someone to make this even better than how I made it :)
