Simple ball and socket adapter for riding bicylces. Socket needs a liner for improved comfort. This one can also be 3D printed in flexible material or simple foam can be used. Version one is the ball and socket adaptor, version 3 includes a modification to allow adjusting friction by tightening a screw in the joint to improve the "feel" of control when using the adapter. Ball part needs a hefty push (a hammer helps) to be inserted in socket.
Can be printed in 0.2 or 0.3 mm layer height, 0.2mm recommended for the ball and joint part the rest can be printed more coarsly. No need for supports if your machine can bridge few cm gaps. Printing with a small brim can help avoid the part getting loose in case you have bed adhesion problems. Works very well in PLA and PETG.
