This is a new kind of [joint](https://github.com/PIFAH/turret-joint) which allows multiple members to come together at a single point with some flexibility in their angles. This allows us to make a strong joint for implementing irregular space frames or robots constructed from linear actuators.
**NOTE**: My initial testing with moving actuators suggests that although the joint works, it is quite "frictiony" when printed on the Fast setting on a Replicator 2---which makes sense because it is visibly striped and rough. However, to
