Ball & Socket Joints
cults3d
I've utilized these ball & socket joints on various projects such as Low Poly Mazinger Z V2, Low Poly Tetsujin 28-Go, and Optimus Prime. Three sizes are available: large, medium, and small. The cylinder post for the BallJoint_Large is 7.5mm in diameter. The cylinder post for the BallJoint_Medium is also 7.5mm in diameter. Similarly, the cylinder post for the BallJoint_Small measures 6.0mm in diameter. For SocketJoint_Large, the cylinder post is 8.5mm in diameter. In like manner, the cylinder post for the SocketJoint_Medium is 8.5mm in diameter. Additionally, the cylinder post for the SocketJoint_Small is 7.0mm in diameter. When creating a hole for the post, I recommend leaving a 0.2mm gap between the post and the hole cutout (refer to image). For instance - if the cylinder post is 7.5mm in diameter then the diameter of the hole cutout should be 7.9mm. To secure it in place, apply super glue onto the side wall and bottom surface of the post (refer to image). For more information on these parts, watch my YouTube video - coming soon.
