I designed this with 3D printing in mind because pretty much every one I've tried would split when the ball was inserted. This is designed to put the force where 3D printed objects are strongest: horizontally.

There's currently a 20mm ball, threaded socket, and plain socket in this set. It's designed for 3mm or 4mm cap screw and #6 wood screw hardware.

The plain socket is great for things that aren't very heavy like Raspberry Pi camera modules. It can swivel past 180 degrees if you pivot it between the lobes, it's more like 90 degrees if you go against them.

The threaded designs can take considerably more weight.
