Circular Joint

After searching the internet for some time, I could not find a circular joint that was simple and that would work for what I needed. So I decided to make my own using Autodesk inventor.

Also, there is a test fit cylinder(In the left of the cover photo) that you can use as a test. It also makes a great fidget toy.

Printed in PLA and fit well, but it may be to loose on some printers.

LICENSE UPDATE:

Because the original intent for this part was to provide people with an easy to use joint for connecting rotating parts, I want people to be able to use it in any kind of model they want, and be able to sell the model its on, as long as their model is also available for commercial use. To do this I have updated the license of this model to be Creative Commons-Attribution. This means you can sell/remix/share this model or use it however you want, but you still need to give credit to me. Hope this helps anyone!

Made with:

Autodesk Inventor

Filament:

Overture Grey PLA

Layer Height:

0.20mm
