I love the design by alobal (blue parts in pictures for comparison) but I think I overtightened the assembly as the 3d printed threads eventually stripped.  So, I created a similar design (Stainless Steel parts in pictures) for heat pressed inserts.  The threaded insert is pressed into the ball and the bolt is pressed into the nut.  I recommend using M243 thread locker (or the likes) to ensure it stays place.  I've run it through the car wash many times now without any issues.    

 

You will, of course, need the tiny receiver from alobal's creation:
