I Built a Nixie Clock Using ESP32 and Brass Rod - DIY
In this project, I built a handcrafted Nixie-style clock using an ESP32 and a custom brass-rod frame. The entire structure is assembled by hand, focusing on real electronics, clean geometry, and a minimal mechanical design. This clock combines modern microcontroller control with a retro Nixie-inspired display, all mounted inside a polished brass skeleton. No 3D printing, no plastic enclosure — just brass rods, soldered joints, and functional electronics. Build highlights: ESP32-based clock control Nixie-style digital display Hand-soldered brass rod frame Minimalist, open-structure design Fully functional DIY electronics project This build is part of my ongoing exploration of brass-rod electronics, retro-futuristic design, and practical DIY engineering. 👉 If you want the code for this project, leave a comment below and I’ll share it.
