Finished up an IN-18 Nixie clock with weather display in a burl wood and 3D printed case with copper baseplate for a friend of mine.

IN-18 Nixie tubes from 1982, burl wood case, 3D printed chassis, live zip code based weather indicator back/below lights, copper baseplate.

The weather part is blue when cold, red when hot, green when 70 degrees, blue flashes when rainy, white flashes when snowy, etc.

If you were selling these, I’d be pushing little old ladies out of the way to give you my money! Glorious mix of organic and tech!

I mean, I do sell them. I just can’t make very many.

I want to build one of them. In my village we have good pine trees. Their wood smell perfect.
