The purpose of this model is to create ball and socket joints to include in other models. This will enable you to easily manipulate the relevant parameters so you can print and test a variety of configurations.
The basic design philosophy is to ensure this can print without supports. The ball part of the joint is cut off before any overhangs reach 45 degrees. For the socket side, the internal structure is teardrop shaped rather than spherical. Again, this prevents the need for printing suppor
