Hey, what do you guys use a bezels? Obviously a 3d printer would be ideal. But I'm trying to make a 128x64 oled look nice. Anyone any ideas for that. My current idea is to cut some strips of plexi glass and line the inside of it with electrical tape or paint it Black.

Just figured I would see I'd anyone else has ideas they have used.

Thanks

I think the acrylic will actually look way nicer than the 3D printed product. It really takes a lot of finishing work to make 3D printed stuff look nice. I don't think a 3D printer is the best tool for this specific application (it's great for producing more three dimensional forms though).

This. Perfect, thank you. I was going to do something like this, but not this perfect.

Appreciate everyone's input, I'm buying Black plexi right now just to have
