Ball and Socket
Source: Thingiverse by Coder-Tronics
The Ball and Socket is a free printable 3D model from Thingiverse by Coder-Tronics. I needed an adjustable mount for another project, something that will be able to hold a few hundred grams or more and take a bit of a vibration....so I came up with this design. You can download the STL file from the original listing below and print it at home.
About this model
I needed an adjustable mount for another project, something that will be able to hold a few hundred grams or more and take a bit of a vibration....so I came up with this design. The tolerances are pretty tight on this, so any part with a thread (nut and socket) I would print at 0.1mm, or increase the size of all the parts There is a short video showing a quick demonstration of the parts. The ball and socket is nothing new, inspiration was taken from a Manfrotto camera mount and a cheap Ebay car windscreen mount for my phone. The ball jointed end can be easily redesigned to any length to meet your needs, but I have included a few variations and this is the same for the socket and ball combination. The socket is sized to 15.3mm in diameter and the ball to 15mm, there is also a small ridge in…
