Mobile ball joint bracket

thingiverse

I needed an adjustable ball mount bracket for my phone holder in the car, but couldn't find any good options, so I decided to create one myself. I used the ball joint from a lead2track thing on Thingiverse, which is located at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3003385. The entire design revolved around that ball joint. It works well, but you'll need to sand down the inside of the nut slightly in order to get the ball into it. This will make the nut a bit larger than necessary. A better approach would be to print the ball from the lead2track thing and create a new base plate. I might do this if there's enough interest, but for now, that's not on my agenda. The bracket works fine, but it could fit more snugly in its hole.
