A co-worker used frontpanelexpress for a stereo project, and it looked stunning. Granted, he paid more for the powder-coat finish and engraved & filled lettering. I started a project with their tool, and found it easy to use/learn. It has interactive cost-estimation, so you can budget/design on-the-fly. As far as an entire case, I believe frontpanelexpress has extruded pieces you can select to make a cabinet. It wont be cheap, but it will look nice and should be rugged.
All of my nixie clock cases are hand-made, mostly with wood. I probably spend as much time making the case as I do designing the PC board. Time is money, so that needs to be considered; apparently I dont value my own time very much when I spend 50-100 hours making a case. --------------------------------- I ended-up doing my own case+front panel using laser-printer decals and some 3D-printed pieces (you can see a picture in neonixie by searching for nixie bench supply, around Aug 2016. It was a lot of work to make the entire case from sheet and angle aluminum. If I had my 3D printer at that time, I would have done that instead. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
