Woha! And i simply LOVE fractals!

your wife was surely happy, this is a noble purpose for 3D printing!

beautiful work, thanks also for talking us about your mistakes :-)

that's a lovely present!

It's really beautiful!

My gosh this is gorgeous! It really seems a big little vintage light bulb!

It works with a few milliamps, 200 or less 👌

Look at the Arduinix project made by Jeremy Howa and Brad Lewis, I spoke about it in step 1. That project uses two drivers, but I wanted to try with only one, so my multiplexing is faster, a little too much, but it works quite good. On the code you can see that it only lights a single nixie for a bunch of milliseconds. Total consumption should be the same..

Haha si sono italiano! 😁You're probably right about wood-glue on rubber and metal, it wouldn't adehere permanently, I think some glue like uhu could work.

Just let them play for some hours, it should improve the quality!

Yes! I always used http://www.festi.info/boxes.py/😀

👌 great!

Thanks for your contribute Axel!

it's not "wrong", simply it was an update I made to the project after making it and testing it.. but you are right, it's better to adjust measures as anybody prefere :-)

I always reply to enthusiast makers! I would say there will be no problem using 8.4V, just do it! 😬

I think 1.5A is too low... my circuit should provide 3A max, and camera batteries, which in my case were two 18650, are usually very powerful. Li-ion cells can provide a huge amount of instant power, five times or much the amperage: 3V•3A•5=45WCamera should not drink so much, but maybe more than 5W at starting...

Just add an LM7809 voltage regulator, which will drop your voltage to 9V from any source between 12 and 35V. I think that the circuit doesn't work directly with 12V...

Un not sure, but in my opinion you can give a try. Actually it's pulsing current, maybe it will work..

Awesome! Thanks for your contribution!

Ouch i have no idea... I hope members will help you with this. It will be useful!

I'm not sure what you mean with "paper foam"... But it appears you can replace the entire gasket with not many problems, you just need the right size.

It's beautiful, well done! 👌

I'm happy you made it! Well done! This is a very good PSU!I'm not sure why your doesn't shut off... it should.Bye!!

Very good! 👌

IMHO the C shape is absolutely necessary 🙃I'm so happy you made it!!

this project is so useful for schools... I'll make it with my students, thanks!

Those circuits are awesome useful, but i suggest to follow instructions on their original website http://www.talkingelectronics.com/projects/50%20-%20555%20Circuits/50%20-%20555%20Circuits.html You'll find all informations there. This is not an instructable, as the author say it's only wasted time ;-)

thanks!

Dear Duncan, sorry for late answer. I'm really interested in your project, that will be cool. Cad drawings are attached to step 6, I think you could use those drawings. There will be no problem in sawing pieces with jigsaw. Let me know if I could help more.

I'm happy it's useful to you!

Hello Kjetil, I just realized it's you the first guy which congratulated with me about my first at all nixie project! 😀 Wow 6 years ago... That's great!

I remember that few years ago every project became a central topic for many members. Although staff was very active, I think that biggest part was made by the community itself, I feel that I myself reduced my involvement in community, and I try only to answer with decent time to comments on my ibles. But I know that it's not enough and I would like to extend this appeal to all community members (not to you who never stopped to be very participant and active).I built a pair of great friendship thanks to instructables community, and I know it has a good potential to connect makers and people across the world, but everyone of us has to work on that, and of course staff should provide a solid structure on the website which will help a lot. I promise that I will try to help as I could, startin…

I promise that I will try to help as I could, starting with showing a picture of Aeon Junophor and myself discussing about how to rebuild instructables community ;-)

Sorry I was more active in Instructables community before, actually this teaching job hadn't left too much spare time to chat here. Anyway I'm teaching in Waldorf highschools, physics and technology.

It's strange, maybe some component heats up, or maybe there is a power loss... Try with a more powerful PSU, maybe 12V 1A. If that doesn't work you should look to some heat, but only on the low voltage part of the circuit, don't touch the high-voltage part!

Beautiful art, as always! Congrats!

I really love creations and gadgets from scraps as much I hate plastic toys and tools which pollute our planet!

I understand the need to compress images on the instructable page, anyway I agree with you that a better quality should be welcome, especially for diagrams. It happened that many people asked me to send bigger diagrams because they couldn't read numbers, nowadays some of them are used to have everything ready and they didn't click on the thumbnail to obtain the full res image.

I mean slice a cake... you can use a cutter, so to engrave a groove, maybe on both sides, then bending the CD you can brake it along the line.

My dear,it seems that you didn't get the aura of simplicity which blows gently around this project, but believe me, it's much more simple than you could think. Just make it, with toilet paper tube and the worst audio CD you still own, only your fingers to make the slot... No 3d printed parts, no prints, no technology and no concern at all, it will work great!

Your links are awesome! I still cannot believe there is so many people every day in the world examining light spectrum!

It's there!

Thanks Aeon! You're projects rock too!

Thanks Aeon! You're projects rock too! 👌

Thanks Aeon! You're projects rock too! 👌

You're right... I couldn't take a good picture but today I will add a sketch!

Thanks Jessy, it's a tool set I built for my optics physics class, we observed many different lamps, it was great.

Thanks that will be super-useful!

It's beautiful Aeon! Well done!

And less than 2A...

It's strange... my only supposing is that your psu doesn't really give 3A, but less than that when there is a load.

It's awesome! And much larger than a Nixie clock! If you want to build a Nixie clock, I made some one ibles about that, you'll see that it's not expensive and difficult as you believe ;-)

Look at my ibles for making a Nixie clock. I love the in-4 tubes which are not more expensive than 4-5 $ each.. but you can buy cheaper very nice tubes for 2$ each... And you can learn to make yourself the PCB with not much money..

Start from here with only one Nixie tube:https://www.instructables.com/High-Voltage-Power-Supply-for-Nixie-and-Valve-Tube/

Measures are in one of the first schematics. You should not print the thumbnail. Enlarge the image with one click on it....

Thanks! That will be useful!

Thanks! That will be useful!

Thanks! I'm sorry but for now I cannot upload the SketchUp file.

Angle is not a precise value, you can change it in three positions. You can also make some measure on your body to find optimal angle for yourself.

Wooow it's awesome!

Hi Klaus! I got your message and answered you, I'm glad you liked my tutorial! Let's keep in touch!

Thanks!!

:) i added link to Italian version in first step

You're welcome!

You're right... I removed it for the moment, I'll try to make a better and working video. Thanks!

I'm glad you like it!

incredible project!

that's nice!!

beaufiful project and instructions!!
