A simple way to secure pinless or pinned OLED displays for connection to arduino/pi/etc
Rotate the STL's yourself
No supports required.
0.4mm nozzle with 0.4mm external perimeters specified in your slicer are always assumed with my things.
Yes, the pins and spring I have included in the DISPLAY stl are accurate and good references for designing around these objects.
The DISPLAY stl, is just for assembly reference.


Uses:
1x M3x8mm(or 10mm) and nut
1x M3x10mm and nut
1x M3x20mm and 2xwasher and 2x nuts (or a single M3 nylock) (only one nut is shown in the DISPLAY stl, but i use two to lock them on)
4x Pogo Pin - P75-E2 Spring Test Probe https://www.aliexpress.com/item/50pcs-P75-E2-Dia-1-02mm-100g-Spring-Test-Probe-Pogo-Pin-Free-Shipping-Wholesale/813753643.html
1x spring - 0.8Wire 10ODx15mm Long

1x dupont female 4socket....and wiring to suit.

NOTE:
I used a 4socket female dupont inside the "peg" which is pretty much mandatory, so it stays inside the 'peg' and contacts the tops of the pogos correctly (see below)
I then attached wires - female terminals at both ends, leading to 4 individual 1socket duponts on the other end, into which i shove individual pins cut from a row of slightly extra long pin headers (if I need to gender bend it to plug into a breadboard). https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10PCS-40Pin-1x40-Single-Row-Male-2-54-17mm-Breakable-Pin-Header-Connector-Strip/32846204552.html
So this allows you to plug the OLED either in via the dupont, or by pinching it under the pogos, and optionally use the dupot as a connection for cables too.
Always confirm the order of wires from the OLED to the output you are connecting.
I colour code with dots on top of the peg above the pins, and then after following each wire to it's other end mark it with the appropriate colour. You always have to check the OLED pinout, and then find the colour on both ends before plugging it in, but it's pretty foolproof and flexible.
Assemble the top two parts, dupont and cables together with the 2 bolts, making sure the dupont has the exposed section of metal pointing downwards, THEN insert the pogo pins, they just sit in there, then add the bottom section and tighten the nuts, then shove the spring in.
