Does anyone have stl files or design files for any of the Nixie tube sockets?

I would really like to find the one for the IN-1's as they are hard to find and expensive.
There was a fellow that created one and posted it on thingverse only to remove it due to another company suing him (for other reasons).
I found an article at breadboardtronics.wordpress.com that showed these IN-1 sockets, so I know they exist.

Did anyone capture that 'thing' before it got deleted?

FANTASTIC !

Thanks for sharing !

Are there any other sockets that have been created?

Excellent work indeed. I would be more in favor of laser cutting vs 3D printing because it seems to be faster on a "hobbistic-large" scale.

On that subject, since I want to make an Eagle library for IV-3 and IV-6 VFS tubes, I found this online tool that builds the model for us: http://www.desmith.net/NMdS/Electronics/soculator.html .

So I join Dave's question: are there other Eagle/3D/lasercut models for Nixies or VFDs?

Thanks,
Paolo

There was an IN-12 one from Thingiverse. PM if you want a copy.

I made a B14G CRT base out of a PCB and laser cut acrylic. The base was not required to support the CRT. The principle should adapt to any base.
