Magnetic ball joint
Initially used to keep an interior shutter in an open position

Magnet used D10 x 3 with D4 wood screws
Link for D10 x 3 magnet with screws
The D3 screw hole for magnet attachment was sized according to the screw used and PETG material
Check the proper mounting of your screw on the ball joint. Add a cylindrical “negative volume” to print a larger hole if needed
The assembly can be fixed with a D4 wood screw
An M10 serrated washer can be added to prevent rotation once tightened
The "compression ring" is printed “captive” with the nut and prevents the ball joint from rotating during tightening
The magnetic ball joint has been tested with the following materials
PETG HF - Black (33102)
PLA WOOD - Clay brown (13801) (For the base only)
