The old printablok hinges created by Marlin1974 were great, but had a tendency to break. This new ball and socket joint is much more reliable because it uses the strength of the 3D print layer lines in the right direction. Switch these out for the old ball and joint hinges in all your builds and they'll last longer and hold their poses better.
And if you're having trouble getting them to hold their pose, try the tighter balls and they'll be ready for stop motion levels of hold.
If you're adding these to your collections, put the files in your /parts folder.
Recommended to print with 3 shells/walls/line count to insure the ball joint necks print solid and will be stronger.
