Looking good! Funny I happen across this post when I’m working on mine as well. As I type this I’m playing with a little 1.5” transparent OLED that will poke out of the rack beside each pi, scrolling various info (cpu load/temp, IP, LAN traffic, node role, etc)

What OLED specifically and what will you be using to drive it?

  Waveshare 1.51” transparent OLED. Comes with driver board, ribbon & jumpers. If you type it in Amazon it’s the only one that pops, just make sure it says transparent. Plugs into GPIO of my Pi 5s. The Amazon listing has a user guide you can download so make sure to do that. I was having trouble figuring it out until I saw that thing. Runs off a python script but once I get it behaving like I want I’ll add it to systemd so it boots on startup.
  
  Imma dummy so I used ChatGPT for most of it, full …ahem… transparency. 🤷🏻‍♂️
  
  I’m modeling a little bracket in spaceclaim today & will probably print it in transparent PETG. I’ll post a pic when I’m done!
