Improvements for Articulating Desk Lamp

thingiverse

I designed a reinforced base that accepts a female end adapter with screws for attaching ball joints. To assemble, use longer screws to secure the nut before tightening the ring. A 14.5mm pin prints without supports. The female end insert is press-fit and measures 14mm in diameter. It features a 3mm bolt hole and a cone-shaped design for aesthetics. To improve fitment, reduce the scaling of the male part by 1% to minimize breakage during assembly. Cleaning the screw parts and trimming excess material from the bottom of the male piece can achieve a 90% successful assembly rate.
