About this model

###PROJECT PRESENTATION I share with you the source files allowing you to make a solid ball and socket connection to reuse in your designs. This version is the result of a long series of iterations to find the right design. This ball joint allows to have a displacement of 25° from its axis, and at 360°. I used it in my design of phone support: This includes .step files and files from Fusion (.f3d). I hope this will help you in your future designs! Reuse it well! UPDATE 11/02/2020 (V3 files) - Better sketch in Fusion 360 with more constraint (will less go messy if chnaging dimensions) - Larger walls for the base to avoid printing problems - Shorter link on the ball joint to reduce overhang - Bigger displacement (about 30°) V3 files are 100% compatible with files of the first version ###Plea…
