IN-1 Nixie Tube Socket

thingiverse

I needed to create custom sockets for IN-1 sized nixie tubes as pre-made ones were nowhere to be found. These eBay bargains can't be backlit with LEDs, but they still shine brightly on their own. Since sockets specifically designed for them are extremely hard to come by, I took matters into my own hands and created one that not only holds the tube in place but also leaves space underneath for easy pin connection. This is actually my first 3D model print project, so any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
