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

thingiverse

www.circuitsonline.net (a Dutch Electronica Forum) offered a Nixie clock kit to members of this forum. The price was so nice, that I could not resist on buying a kit :-) After building the PCBs together, I started designing a case in Solidworks. It consists of several parts: 1x bottom (onderkant.stl), with sunken holes for the 4 screws. 1x top (bovenkant.stl), whih is the upper part, where the nixie tubes itself fit in, with 4 holes on the back for the powersupply and the 3 adjust buttons. 4x ring (ring.stl) to keep some space between the PCB and the nixie, and to keep in nice and straight. Still waiting for 2 SMD diodes and 1 SMD resistor, so no "action" pictures yet :-) If you happen to have one of these nixie clocks, just print these case 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 4x 10mm hex bolts, and screw them in from the bottomside. Next, put 4 small rubber slices to the bottom, to prevent scratches or movement on your cabinet. How I Designed This I got the correct measurements for the PCB, nixie tubes, buttons etc ... So it was actually pretty easy to design this. (I did it in a half hour)
