I had a comment from a Jasper1984 that the ball joints he printed were not holding in position well (on my earlier model an so I thought of making a socket that can have adjustable tension by using rubber bands.
my earlier model :http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:86194
was intended for a smaller scale.
this model is bigger and should be easier to mount.
the socket has indentation on the outside to hold a rubber band in place.
I found using a band tightened the hold quite a bit and a stronger band would make it tighter still. (note only put the band on once the
ball is in the socket, otherwise the socket could get damaged).
I made the shaft have a increased surface area to make it stronger, and added a second hole to make attachment more secure.
