Nurse Quacky boxed up (pictures!)

[larseko]

Thanks again for the great layout and schematics to be found around here. This time I decided for the Nurse Quacky on perfboard. The build went alright, although the green leds I tried first didn't work out. After replacing them with red leds it works just fine. I'll just have to adjust some wiring for adapter/battery switching (it seems to drain the battery if both are connected).

I found some reflector tape in a hardware shop and decided to use that as decoration and symbols on top of a blue metallic coat of auto touchup paint (and clearcoat on top of that again). I'm really having problems getting the lacquer right, as I have to do it in the shower cabinet and cardbox (not getting proper distance from nozzle to box and not getting the proper angles for the sides of the box without accidents), but all in all I think it turned out pretty well, also despite a small failure to convert Fahrenheit to Celcius when baking the enclosure  . Maybe a bit too much bling, but it looks really sparky    Here's a pic:
