I visited that museum some years ago. It was fabulous! My takeaways were the
(fully) analogue computer and early memory units using storage CRT
technology... among other inspirational displays.
I can't wait to go again...

Hi Michael,
the numbers for nixi tubes is one of the problem I havent sufficiently
solved yet. Are your laser cutters able to produce numbers that have 0.4mm
wide lines? The material would be 0.1mm thick stainless steel sheet (316L).
I could send You some sheets to give it a try, just send me
One more thing - I would also provide the layout,

Im not sure, but i think you might be able to make the grid from multiple
horizontal wires that would be spot-welded together. Something like the
ZM1175 or ZM1210 have. It really depends oh how well you could weld
multiple wirest at once.

I use to work closely with the laser people. Use to cut stainless (316
304) down to around 0.010 (0,25mm). Should be able to do 0,1mm thick, but
cuts 0,4mm (0.016) apart, is going to be iffy.

I agree with threeneurons that cuts down to that distance apart are
going to be iffy.
I know that there are companies that laser cut solder stencils with
machines like I have, though, they might be using a different laser head
than the one I cut with.
So, Dalibor, I'll contact you offline with
Otherwise, is there anybody out there familiar with chemical etching
stainless?
Not much to it - it's like etching a printed circuit board. Coat with resist,
expose to pattern, develop, etch.
Places like Micro-Mark sell kits to do this:
