Posted in Misc Hacks Tagged DIY nixie tube, home made nixie tube, nixie tube, nixie tubes Post navigation If this post seems vaguely familiar, it’s because this isn’t the first time we’ve posted an article about homemade nixie tubes, but we think is by far the most elegant! Stick around after the break to see one of his first test videos - You might even think he’s cheating, the tubes look so professional! He has since then continued refining this art and is entering a glass-art contest called “When Prague Meets Shanghai” with a beautiful entry dubbed the ShanghaiTime Nixie Clock. On his first attempt with a properly sealed tube, the nixie worked and he even recorded striking voltage values very similar to industry tubes - not bad for something made in a backyard shed! To create the display he has etched the digits and housing out of 0.3mm stainless steel sheet - which potentially means if he gets the hang of making the tubes, he could actually produce them to sell! To perform the glass blowing, he scored a Heathway glassblowing lathe off eBay - but unfortunately he hasn’t documented much of anything on making the glass tubes, which is too bad because we think that would be equally fascinating as the nixie displays themselves. He’s chosen the Z568 nixie tubes to copy, as they are his favorite style of nixie. Do you love Nixie Tubes? Upset that they aren’t really manufactured anymore, and the cost of old ones is rising? Why not make your own? That’s exactly what of the Czech Republic is up to, including blowing the glass tubes himself!
