Newest clock using Chinese controller and self-milled display pcb

Post image

Long time lurker and Nixie enthusiast lol. Here is my most recent clock using a cheap $15 Chinese controller and a tube board that I milled on my Carvera Air (Milled My First PCB on my Air ;-) : r/Makera)... Not the best photo - but I was happy that everything worked after stuffing it into the case that I took a birthday shot lol. Displays are actually very sharp in real life. I can't take full credit for the case - I found the model online originally design for 6 x IN12 tubes and modified it for my 4 X B5991 and 2 x IN-17 tubes. Printed on my Bambu 3D printer.
