may want to print with a brim. this was a test to see how small of a ball joint socket I could make using the default nozzle on the prusa i3 mk2s (0.4mm)

after doing research I found that 2 wall thickness was needed to insure the strength of the snap fit joint. to achieve this, make sure the thickness of the wall is at least 0.86mm. this with the settings in prusa slicer set to 0.15 creates two line thickness of said walls.

Just a test but also wanted to share in case if anyone else was curious about the size of a strong ball joint they could create on the prusas default nozzle. Enjoy :)
