Versatile ball joint

Bill of Materials
Description
The retaining pin with the ball on my TP-Link Tapo C110 pool surveillance camera unfortunately broke off
Since I couldn't find a suitable replacement mount, I designed a new ball joint myself
The new solution is not only very stable but also provides the camera with slightly more robust protection
Perfect for indoor, outdoor, or poolside use
For outdoor use, I definitely recommend printing in ABS or PETG so that the material better withstands the weather. However, if you only want to use the ball joint indoors, you can easily print it from PLA
The connection between the base plate and the ball is glued with super glue after fitting the union nut, and then centered and secured with a 3mm plastic or sheet metal screw
Incidentally, this ball joint can also be used effectively for other applications
Perhaps the joint will also help others who have a similar problem
Enjoy it. I would certainly appreciate a little feedback
