Any Size Ball Joint:
A 3D printable customizable universal ball joint.
- Fully 3D Printable without supports
- Up to 30 deg lateral deflection
- Customizable to any size by editing values in FreeCAD
STL exported for the following diameters:
- 5 mm
- 6 mm -> Shown on the pictures
- 8 mm
- 10 mm
- 12 mm
- 16 mm
- 20 mm
- 40 mm
Note on the clearance:
Your slicer settings MUST have the "Horizontal Expansion" (Cura name) setting calibrated so that a X mm cylinder will fit into a X mm hole. This setting could have an other name in slicers other than Cura. A typical value for FDM printers is around -0.1mm. A more negative value will give a larger clearance.
This point is important as there is no clearance in the object dimensions!
Only the thread has some added clearance (given parameters).
All the exported STL are tested for good clearance with a 0.4 mm print width and 0.16mm layer height. If you want to increase these values, please re-export the STLs f
