It's a great deal. A solid build of a machine.

It's a curved seat created by a ball-end mill equal to the size of the ball. Though, a chamfer could also be used. The curve would develop naturally as the ball grinds away at the seat.

Hi John. :) Yes, I have a bunch of these parts already They're made of mild or Stainless and usually brazened with silver solder. These are ball-socket joints for a animation armature to be used for stop-motion animation or puppet animation. I've already printed of a bunch of these parts...

I understand. The dimensions of the joint is based on an existing design. The position of Cap screw is off centre towards the ball. When I was reproducing them in 360 Fusion, I asked why not just place it in the centre? Concluded that it would have more clamping strength on to the ball if it...

Hi Peter. Thank you for the reply. I see! The scallop is the accurate terminology for the cut. The removal of the material will just allow clearance for a pin that's attached to the steel ball sitting in the joint seat. It could be done with files but the parts are to be CNC machined, so...

Hey guys, It's been a few months since I've posted but I'm nearing the point of moving forward with having a part from "Ball-Socket Joints" project CNC machined. I had some really good help from a fellow member (PeterT) with creating a clean technical drawings, which i implemented right away...

That's a sweet looking machine.

Hi guys, I'm not sure if this is an appropriate request for this forum, but there's only one way to find out. I'm working on the technical drawings for the ball-socket joints that I referenced in a previous post. I have some understanding of the correct method, but I'm concerned there are...

Overall, their service is quite good. The order arrived in 2 days. Though the qualility of some of the items were a bit underwhelming. Like a tap wrench that I had to return. But I got some really nice brass heat-inserts for thermoplastics.

I ordered some stuff from them about a week ago. The only issue I experienced was that they cancelled my first order because I didn't include a business name in my order. They told me that they could ship to my home so long as I ran my "business" from my home. So I gave them my Dad's...
