[DIY] Make a new QS18-12 glow clock case for her classic style with a gorgeous coat [Copy link]

The Nixie tube electronic clock has been made for a long time, and it has always been running naked in the living room. When I designed it, I spent a lot of effort on the PCB board, making it a gold-plated maze line. After a long time, I feel a little aesthetic fatigue, so I plan to design a coat for it.
The detailed production of the two Nixie tube electronic clocks is posted here:

QS18-12 Nixie tube electronic clock , with 100 pictures: https://bbs.eeworld.com.cn/thread-221337-1-1.html
Because I like this QS18-12 clock very much, I will start with it.
A total of two models are designed, one is simple and generous, with a smaller panel size, which is more capable. The other one is like a big skirt, which is more atmospheric and has more layers.
The middle is pine wood. In fact, I originally ordered red walnut wood, but later because the size was wrong, I used this pine wood to make a look. I believe that the red walnut wood will have a better effect.
This time, all the screws were replaced with stainless steel hexagon socket screws. Haha, to quote brother soso: Hexagon socket, a must...
Let's enjoy the photos (still in the living room, but by the way, I used two strawberries that I just bought for my wife as props, haha):











































This is the CAD plan I drew before making it, which was made according to this size.





After the photos were taken, two strawberries were already in my stomach, hehe...

DIY is a kind of enjoyment, not only the process but also the result......

As I was looking at it, I was thinking: Is it because the OP’s camera is so good? :loveliness: The light and shadow effects in the second photo are so great. But it seems that most photographers always say: Photography is not about the camera but about the person HOHO After seeing the simple version of the first one, I always want to saw off the hem of the second one HOHO Anyway, it’s very beautiful

Haha, I am so happy to receive such great praise from SOSO...:victory:

Haha, actually the camera is just a regular DC camera, not a SLR. It’s just that when I was decorating the living room, I had high requirements for the lighting. The lighting was very even, the light source was good, and then the shutter priority, 1/4s exposure, plus a tripod, so that the strawberries were very tempting. But after taking the photo, the strawberries went into my stomach, haha! ;P

Very nice, is the glow lamp expensive? How much did it cost in total? :)

The QS18-12 Nixie tube can no longer be described as expensive or not, and it is no longer available. ;P

They were all produced in the 1970s, they are antique items!

Could the OP provide the circuit? I think I can still find the Nixie tube from the old bridge. I'll go to the warehouse tomorrow to check, it should still be there!
