I have a rough idea of running a group buy of numitron
clocks. I’m not sure if I should make an affordable acrylic
case or a really nice aluminum case. I’m planning on having
cherry mx switches as buttons although I have to see what
sort of modifications I have to make.
I have access to
a laser engraver so I can engrave some keyboard related
things on the case. Here is an image of the original project
done by Sean Voisen.
There most likely will be only 10-15 clocks done in a
run.
Very rough estimate of 70 USD per clock. Higher
price than I had hoped but not too bad
EDIT:
I am
scratching the MX idea as the case is not too compatible
with other switches. I don’t think it’s really possible
unless you use wires to connect the switch to the PCB. Even
if the case were to be modified, the parts are at the same
level as the switches.

NOW TO BE IN VFD FORM!
VFDs are different than the previously proposed
Numitrons as they are not filaments, but instead are based
on cathodoluminescene.
VS
Right now, once the maker of the PCB (www.nixieclock.org) responds to me, I will begin to make a case. I have still
not decided between acrylic or aluminum. Aluminum will be
more expensive, however I believe it will look the nicest
with this type of vacuum tube. Please let me know so I can
begin ASAP. I will post a rough approximation of what I want
the aluminum case to look like soon.
