Nixie Clock Case (50s era)

thingiverse

When building my nixie clock kit i noticed there wasn't many options for something that fit the age that i was looking for. Something in the 50s to 60s to fit the age and style of the nixie tube in general so i designed a case based off a nice looking 4 tube design i found off google. Was built from scratch from a picture. Every side of the case is its own pice and should be printed separately on a printer that has a min print size of 200mm by 200mm. A smaller printer can be used but you will have to print at some weird angles. There are a few holes designed for a mini toggle switch on the back and a 12mm push button switch on the front as well as a 5mm led. Size for the toggle switch hole on the back is 6.4mm. Size for the 12mm push button on the front is 13.6mm. The Tube holes are a perfect match for a nh-12a nixie tube. some sanding may be required depending on printer accuracy but they are a push fit with no glue necessary. I do this so the clock can be taken apart easily. This clock is kind of small depth wise and only will support a board thats around 60mm wide. length is mostly fine up to about 6 inches but once tubes are wired in, then there isn't much left to work. i recommend the board i have linked as its the one currently in my clock Links to parts used i used a 3 position switch since i only had that on had but this will work https://www.ebay.com/itm/10Pcs-2-Pin-SPST-ON-OFF-2-Position-250VAC-Mini-Toggle-Switches-MTS-101-US-Stock/401585759456?hash=item5d806064e0:g:B48AAOSwp6lbgL9s:rk:3:pf:1&frcectupt=true 12mm push button https://www.ebay.com/itm/10pcs-12mm-Waterproof-momentary-ON-OFF-Push-button-Mini-Round-Switch-Black-M122/222605766562?epid=2173810532&hash=item33d4566fa2:rk:1:pf:0 Clock Kit This kit is just for the circuit board and everything else needed BUT NOT THE TUBES. https://www.ebay.com/itm/6-Digit-Nixie-Clock-Kit-Easy-Build-No-Tubes-Open-Source-Arduino/131740553919?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=431652218025&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Once printed sand all edges with 220grit and superglue it together. i left the top unglued to be able to service the inside parts. IF you print with wood then stain it like i did.
