Many months later and I'm have some days off here and I finally got to the point where[Local Link Removed for Guests]
Now, instead of having this roll just display the weather conditions as icons, I'm thinking of having it display weather elements as a layer on top of a picture. This is a bit difficult to explain, but in brief, I want to be able to print weather elements (ex clouds) and glue them to a transparent paper, and have that wrapped around the two rollers.
Ok, so this is NOT an ESP32 question, it's more of a "crafts" question

Anybody knows a suitable fabric for such transparent paper?
On one hand, laminated paper is too tough and won't get wrapped on the tiny rolls
On the other hand, any thin film won't be super flat and will have a very irregular shape that will draw attention to it rather than being transparent!
