THIS DESIGN NEEDS A FRESH FACE LIFT - NOT ALL PRINTS WILL SNAP SHUT IF YOU CHANGE IT SOON. OLED display case for increasingly popular 128x64 SSD1306 displays that can be found everywhere on AliExpress, E-bay, and Banggood. I spent a lot of time trying to turn it into a snap enclosure and it works most of the time but sometimes I get a print that doesn't snap right away, though this could be due to my printer or settings. Access port in back fits i2c type (4 pin) connector perfectly. Please test the snapping pressure several times before putting your display in it and squishing it tightly! This is a crucial step because sometimes they print so tight that you have to snap them really hard to get them to snap, then pry them open and do it again until it becomes easier. The tiny fingernail slot on the side is barely visible but will help you pry the beasty open later on. There's not much room left over - Will it get hot in there? I don't know yet. So far mine are fine though. The tiny screw holes inside the base unit are a waste of time. Just ignore them. However, the corners inside the base act as standoffs effectively. How I put my screens in: You'll need something like a bamboo skewer. Lay the display in the correct way inside and using the flat, blunt end of the skewer press near the far corners PCB's screen by the mounting holes until the unit reaches the bottom - Press gently! Then gently snap the cover on by the corners first then carefully down each side. I built this because I was tired of worrying about bashing the thin film connector and touching the edges of the LED conductor on the edge of the glass and messing it up. It's maybe good for like 20 - 30 snaps before the snapping action starts to get less snappy - (hey its just a couple tiny lines of plastic holding the snapping together.) Happy Screen Snapping
