I'm very interested in the cost/workmanship of the machined items that you have done. Please post a picture when you receive it, and of course when you finish your clock. I'm trying to find a sweet-spot mix of 3D-printed parts vs machined items for an upcoming project. The handmade wood cases

I have built a couple of Pete's kits, and now his are all that I will use. I find them the easiest to put together, and with the replaceable tube feature, it makes the clocks almost endlessly customization. I will be interested to see your housing when you get things machined. I too am an

I'm thinking about something like this below: Class of ammeter is fine but 2.5 for voltmeter with 200V range is moot. Anyway analog meters are better suited to the nixie tubes.

I always enjoy reading detailed descriptions of the process of making something. It is not something I have any real experience with, so it helps me start to understand the process and the options for when I finally get around to this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed

I built a ControlLeo reflow oven from a kit, and I just ordered their new upgrade with a new touch screen controller. I tell my wife that it’s insulting to call it a toaster oven, but she persists. It works great. I just finished a few ESP32 DevKitC compatible micro controllers with 100%

For me, 0805 parts are easier to solder than through hole. The board can lay flat and resistors aren't running away from their spots, there is no wire bending to lock them in place before soldering. SMD soldering is tidier. Plus, when I'm making my prototype PCBs at home, SMD = less drilling.

I used a small good digital ammeter 0-20mA made by Murata, DCA-20PC but it costs about 60 EUR... Because I'm not professional in electronics I had problems with the power supply of the digital voltmeter and ammeter, I tried to use only 1 power supply and I destroyed the first ammeter, it needs

Almost all my projects are now SMT, mainly because I feel it saves so much time and money (smaller board size) compared to through hole components. It's way faster for me to place the parts than to manually solder each through hole component. I currently use mostly 0603 parts and I recommend
