3D housing for a Nixie Clock (www.circuitsonline.net)

thingiverse

Human: www.circuitsonline.net, a Dutch Electronica Forum, offered a Nixie clock kit to its members. The price was so appealing that I couldn't resist buying a kit. After assembling the PCBs, I started designing a case using Solidworks. It consists of several components: 1x bottom (onderkant.stl), with sunken holes for four screws. 1x top (bovenkant.stl), which is the upper part where the nixie tubes fit in, with four holes on the back for the power supply and three adjust buttons. 4x ring (ring.stl) to keep space between the PCB and the nixie, and maintain it nice and straight. I am still waiting for two SMD diodes and one SMD resistor, so no "action" pictures yet. If you have a nixie clock, print these cases and enjoy. Print Settings: Printer: Ecksbot 3D - K8200 Velleman - Prusa i3 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: 0.1 mm Infill: 20% Notes: Nothing special, just slice and print, no rafts or support needed. Post-Printing: Use four 10mm hex bolts and screw them in from the bottom side. Next, put four small rubber slices to the bottom to prevent scratches or movement on your cabinet. I got the correct measurements for the PCB, nixie tubes, buttons, etc. So it was actually pretty easy to design this case. (I did it in a half hour.)
