Normally when someone copies a design, they reference the original author prominently in the article and at least ask permission.

This article is almost a direct lift from my own work at https://nick.desmith.net/Electronics/NixiePSU.html – a design that’s been published for more than 15 years and has been used multiple times.

In reply to Avavava. Feel free to try replacing the inductor with a higher power rating, if you would like to use the full output capacity.

In reply to Yodee.

I also get a very hot inductor – any guidance on suitable bigger inductors? (I get a steady 20 ma @ 200V – but it heats up pretty fast and by 30-45 minutes gets hot enough to melt 3D printed ABS parts)

Awesome. Could be customized to have the SHDN for turning off the power supply/ HV output
