Magnetic Ball Joint Rod Ends
Description
These Are Designed To Work With 3/8" Balls, 0.230" Diameter Carbon Fiber Rods, And Cylindrical Magnets Which Are 10Mm In Diameter And 15M High. These Can Be Printed With A Layer Height Of 0.2Mm Or 0.1Mm. Use A Shell Thickness Of 2Mm, So That All Of The Walls Will Be Printed With Concentric Circles, Instead Of Back-And-Forth Infill. For Pla, Use A Relatively Low Temperature, Like 185C, So That The Overhang Inside Of The Ball Bearing Sockets Comes Out As Cleanly As Possible. I Use A 3/8" Ball End Mill To Gently Clean Out The Ball Bearing Sockets. Note: I Have To Print Out At Least Two Of These At A Time, To Get The Correct Dimensions. I Usually Print Out A Dozen Of The Ball Bearing Holders, Followed By Another Of The Rod Ends -- Ie. I Usually Don'T Mix Them In One Print Run. I Use These With My Magnetic Effector: Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:1546124 And Magnetic Carriages: Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:1546091 Contact Haydn.Huntley@Gmail.Com If You Need An Inexpensive Source For The Ball Studs Or Magnets. I Offer The Ball Studs For $1 Each (12 Are Needed), And The Magnets Are $2 Each (And I Include Printed And Slightly Machined Rod Ends With The Magnets).
