2016 Ford Ranger ball joint phone mount (Mark 2)

The second iteration of the my initial phone mount. Improvements are optimized stiffness/flexibility with the dashboard mount for PETG and PLA. Reduced ball joint stem length to increase rigidity and minimize bouncing. Increased stem root chamfer for increased strength.

Previous balljoint part was printed standing up. This resulted in failure along the layer lines, due to bouncing and flexing of the stem. New design has reinforced and shortened stem, printed on its side (to describe which side, I only needed supports for the ball and stem). This means that there are no layer lines under stress, resulting in a significantly stronger and more resilient part.

Once again this is not the actual phone mount but a mount to attached a phone mount with a ball joint type connection method to the dash, as vent mounts don't work in the 2016 Ranger and suction cups on the windshield obscure vision of through the windshield. This mount does not obstruct any views.
