Generic Ball swivel mount

thingiverse

I needed a small swivel base to position a small camera. I figured I'd go for broke and cover all the bases with a variety of components. These are a snug fit and the rougher finish that comes with a .2mm layer height gives them good gription (i think that's a word). SooOOoo ... . .I realized that the PLA female ends were relaxing over time and losing their ever critical gription. So, I added a groove for an O-ring. This probably isn't necessary for some materials. I'm still pretty new at this and, so far I've only used PLA. And, obviously, I'm still learning about that. Anyway, there are now grooved and groove free versions. These won't keep your go pro in position while you jump your BMX into a lake but they will keep your phone pointed at the table while you Instagram yourself cutting tomatoes. Honestly don't know why that's a thing but you do you.
