This gear set implements [ABENICS: Active Ball Joint Mechanism With Three-DoF Based on Spherical Gear Meshings](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/351357682_ABENICS_Active_Ball_Joint_Mechanism_With_Three-DoF_Based_on_Spherical_Gear_Meshings) active ball joint mechanism. ###Required fasteners: M3x10 (or M3x8) screws plus M3 nuts - 4 pcs - join 2 parts of the cross-spherical gear M6x30 screws plus M6 nuts - 2 pcs - as monopole gears axles M4x16 (or longer) screws plus M4 nuts - 3 pcs - join 2 halves of the case ###Additional notes The printed model should rotate by hand. Unfortunately PLA is not great material for this application. Mainly because of high friction. Consider a different filament and/or grease. Try different tolerances The cross-spherical gear tries to stall in some positions (near polar singularities), until second monopole gear is rotated.
