One Piece Ball and Socket with Nut
This is a remix. I updated and commented SCHEMENKE's OpenSCAD code and made some modifications. After a fair amount of tinkering I didn't make any major changes to the basic design of the ball and socket.
The primary change was to make the Ball & Socket, Shaft, and Nut all one piece. After printing this as a 0.2mm height, the shaft and nut separate easily with a quick push.
I also made the thread a little smaller (pitch 3 instead of 4) and the grips a little larger.
Anyways, good fun, enjoy, cheers, and thanks for the inspiration.
