If you plan to just make a few sockets using a 3d printer, that works great; If
you plan to go into production, though, I'll suggest you get the prototype 3d
printed, but then once it's "just right", find a local small scale injection
molding house & get them to produce the run for you, since 3d printers take
some time to print things in large quantities. A run of 10,000 sockets would
take quite a while to print :)

Very easy to do with a 3D printer; I've made socket bases for A-101 dekatrons
for a future project, as well as pin-collars for IN-18's and b7971's. It takes
a few test-prints to get the right dimensions; once you get that figured-out
it's only a few cents per socket for the material (I use PLA).
My experience with IN-1's is that they are not reliable, which may explain why
they are rather inexpensive. Great for experimenting, though.I'd expect the
cost of the socket will be more than the tube; I think the AMP connector
contacts I use cost about 10 cents each.--
