Make your own replica Nixie tube clock
If you love the look of classic Nixie tube displays, but can't find the size you want - you make your own replicas using LED filaments and plastic containers.
Andrei from the electronoobs website has done just that, by using the LED filaments to make large seven-segment displays for an Arduino-powered clock.
The segments are driven by a MAX7219-style LED display driver and we love how an old wooden box has been used a mounting platform. Check out the video below for a demonstration:
