Due to the successful use of this component, I have now completely reprogrammed it in OpenSCAD. I was able to incorporate all the points that I had missed in the past.
One of the biggest features is that the component can be printed according to current needs using the customizer within OpenSCAD.
The whole thing is based on my experiences on previous solutions. If you are interested, you can see the previous solutions here:
Many thanks also to Bruno Viegas and Julian Moors who inspired me with their models Thingiverse 3918744 and Thingiverse 4153717.
With this panel you can mount up to 10 Raspberry Pi on a 2U in your 10" rack.
If you use the slightly larger panels, only 5 Raspberrys fit, but these are then also equipped with screens.
Depending on your needs, the panel can be configured with the following components:
The Waveshare display costs more than twice as much as the simple 1.8" display. The display offers the advantage of having control elements later on. But I never had a use for it in this scenario.
The simple 1.8" display is larger and has a slightly higher resolution and is significantly cheaper. At least my Python code for displaying the status is significantly less mature than for the WaveShare display.
My personal opinion regarding the display:
I have no need for the buttons on the display. My Raspberrys are also behind a glass door and access is always a bit cumbersome.
The lower price and the larger area are more important to me. So in the future I'll be going more and more with the 1.8" displays. - And in some cases the 0.91 as soon as I've developed a suitable code.
