This is the design of an universal joint system. Enables users to connect bars that can rotate freely in any direction. Post-Printing Instructions Non-Manufacturable Parts List 4x - metric 3 mm diameter screws, measuring 15 mm in length 4x - metric 3 mm nuts, with a width of 3 mm and an inscribed circle diameter of 8 mm Implementations Customization I have yet to explore potential ways to integrate this universal joint with other objects. Suggestions are welcomed; examples might include screw holes or tube connections for increased versatility. Universal joints serve dual purposes - they can function as either a pivot point or a compensator. As a pivotal system, they facilitate 3D rotation, making them ideal for applications involving gimbals. Alternatively, when used as a coupler, universal joints allow for fine adjustments to accommodate minor mechanical discrepancies.
