This is a fully articulated 3D printed Universal Joint! The U-Joint represents a highly adaptable axis. Automotive industries commonly utilize this device in various machinery. I manufactured mine from PLA with standard settings to obtain reliable results. Users can also easily adjust the model's scale, making it customizable according to individual needs.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWxjv5BdS3O\nInstructions: Print "universal_joint_main.stl" at 10% infill using low-quality printing and without support material or a raft layer. Then, print "universal_joint_handles.stl" with identical settings as mentioned earlier. After that, produce "universal_joint_ball.stl" with identical printing conditions applied initially, except now using added support material. Print "universal_joint_pegs.stl" at 70% infill quality with the setting of low detail density. Once the components are produced through the above procedures, arrange them properly in space to facilitate assembly. Using superglue as an alternative, place the pegs securely into their correct position on both parts by making contact and then proceeding with handling all main components before adding handles which need to be connected by applying high-pressure glue onto those areas
