I was wondering if the thermal printer will support any kind of adhesive paper and/or labels. Printing stickers, labels, and QR codes seems like the best use cases to me, and in each case, adhesive paper would help. Any thoughts?

If you find any roll with the same size of sticker thermal printer paper, that should work

The DevTerm page states that the thermal paper rolls should be 58mm wide, but does anyone have any idea what diameter of roll can fit in the input tray? Seems like almost every brand of paper comes on a different-sized roll.
It only matter if it is too big. Though itâs hard to say the size, but Iâm pretty sure it is somewhat standardized, and we probably can determine roughly the size from the renders
If the roll is too big, unroll it till itâs just smaller than a perfect fit and rip it off. My adafruit compact thermal has this issue⌠I waste almost half a roll when I change it out.

I do hope the chamber isnât nearly as small, though.
Has anybody found suitable adhesive paper? I got some from Paperang and it is the right size and everything but it doesnât work. Oddly, if I put regular non-adhesive paper in, the test print works just fine. Not sure if there is anything you need to do or set to get that type of paper working.
Do you use thermal adhesive paper/ labels? Non-thermal wonât work here.

Of course I bought thermal paper for my thermal printer. 
It doesnât work. The printer wonât engage and stops moving.
Again, Iâve loaded and used regular thermal paper just fine.
how about using the backside of the paper to try test printing?
Printing works fine on regular thermal paper.
You canât feed a roll backwards and besides it wonât print on the back if you could since that is the adhesive backing (non thermal).
Ok, sorry, this SHOULD work of course⌠So I have no idea yet why it doesnât⌠
Maybe the adhesive paper is a bit too thick so the printer canât transport it.

I think youâre probably right. Going to return this paper and look for something else to try.
This is such a bummer. I really hope you find an alternative. Please let us know! 
Any luck finding anything else?
Iâve been hoping someone would come back and recommend an adhesive paper that was purchaseable for those of us in the states so I can avoid the trial and error effort. However, since nobody has posted I decided to try and go down the path myself and just purchased this. Wish me luck, I will report back if it works!

Well good news! I did find paper that works.
For US-based folks this is the brand I bought on Amazon
At the moment it seems to be out of stock, but itâs possible other âPaperangâ printers will work.
Itâs actually really neat to be able to print something small like this out, I have some new ideas now:
- Sticky notes
- Todo lists which I can stick to the back of my phone
- Other reminders that I can print and attach to my phone case
⌠and of course some obvious cases like label maker, etc.
