The file 'DIP/DIL Sockets (all From DIP4 To DIP28) 3D Printer Model' is (stl,skp) file type, size is 2.9MB.

Summary

UPDATE: Now includes every socket size from DIP4 to DIP28! Also added three variations of the assembly tool, they are for the sizes up to DIP8; DIP16; DIP28.

UPDATE: Here you can find 1000x individual sockets so you don't have to break apart your existing socket rows to reassemble: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1000pcs-Round-Pin-female-pin-socket-for-Pin-Dim0-45-0-6mm-without-plastic-for-2/32972142300.html

I noticed that the "machined" IC sockets I used to buy are just way overpriced, especially compared to 40x SIP sockets:
https://www.taydaelectronics.com/30-pin-dip-sip-ic-sockets-adaptor-solder-type.html
So I decided to break out the single pins from those SIP sockets and put them into 3D-printed enclosures. Total price: less than eg. 10 cent for a DIP8. And if you buy the single sockets in bulk you can even get below 4 cents.
Other advantages:

  • no need to stock multiple units of every size
  • colored sockets look awesome

Assembly should be self-explanatory, just push in those pins, preferably with some sort of vice. There is a tool included to print, which will help you holding the sockets enclosure while allowing the pins to pass through the bottom when squeezing in a vice.
