Could you build this?
No The project reverse-engineers Fujifilm camera firmware (unpacking proprietary .DAT files, patching code in RAM) and implements the instax Bluetooth LE printing protocol on the camera. This needs embedded systems and reverse-engineering expertise plus physical hardware.
What it would actually take: Reproducing it means extracting and decrypting the firmware format, finding a safe in-RAM hook point, and writing ARM code that drives the camera's BLE stack and the printer's proprietary protocol. Testing requires the physical X-T30 II and Link 3 and carries a risk of bricking the camera. This requires embedded/firmware engineers with reverse-engineering skills.
