Ball Joint Made Of Stubborn ABS Plastic With Support Structure

thingiverse

General purpose ball joint made of ABS. I'm planning to do more optional parts. 6mm bolt with nut place up. 4x3mm holes plate. After some testing this support structure is good enough or at least I got them printed. Update! A ball with 6M bolt hole and two nuts. So the shank is now adjustable. 9.12.2014 Also a cone shape base for 6mm bolt with 4x3mm holes. Instructions I made my own support structure to be more sure with curling ABS plastic. You can also try your software's own structures (clean parts). 5-15 minutes to clean parts only with pliers and chisel. Dremel if you have one.. perhaps faster. Don't try to fit the ball before the female is well enough cleaned. Clean little from the female part entrance if there is "floor" remains. Printing went ok and the parts were solid-flexing enough with these: Hot End 232C or where your layers melt enough.
