Print-in-Place Ball Joint
Create the components for a ball and socket joint.
Task
- Create a ball - A sphere (radius ~1 unit)
- Create a socket housing - A box with a spherical cavity
- Leave 0.5mm clearance between ball and socket
Key Concepts
- The ball must be smaller than the socket opening
- Add a gap for clearance so parts don't fuse
- In real PIP design, these would be positioned for single-print assembly
For this exercise, create the two parts separately.
