I used your joints to connect parts of the doll body, printed to repair the doll we own for 40 years. The joints worked perfectly. The legs used the joint as is, the arms used it at 60%scale. Both worked perfectly.
Thanks for sharing the design

@MartinFrnka_557690 Thanks! Glad it worked well!
Have not printed this yet. can i increase the friction with playing in tolerance?
@SalahAbuElga_2450624 I'm not sure, I haven't experimented around with tolerances to much. It could probably make it a little tighter.
Scaled by 0.27 to make a 10mm diameter feature.
Printed as a test and will get the real version machined.
Worked perfectly even scaled down small.
Popped in easy and rotates without resistance.
Printed in PETG at 0.1mm layer height 0.4 nozzel. (edited)
@Jdraper_1136864Thank you for posting this great make, I haven't tested the joint scaled down so it was great to hear it works well at that size.
What forces is this intended to handle; off-axis?
Can it be disassembled?
As a thought: if it needs to be disassembled, some small holes in the side of the outer piece (up from the contact area) OR in the end of the outer piece would allow prying inwards on the leaves.
@MrScott_945955 Its supposed to handle just rotational forces clockwise or counterclockwise. Also, it is not necessarily supposed to be removable, I designed it so that people could incorporate it into a 3d model that needed to rotate. I can add holes into the joint test if you want.
