Needed a rotating joint for a garden mobile. Couldn't find one so here we go…
You'll need a 608 bearing (don't you always?)
You must print both parts with the axis horizontally with support to have the layers in the right direction. You must also print with the small hole in the female part vertical (so the “legs” are on the diagonal). That way all the hanging hooks and the snap on clip section have most of their layers in the direction of greatest strength.
When assembling, fit the male part through the bearing then fit the female cup over the other side - it takes a reasonable amount of bending to get it over the bearing. It won't work if you do the female part first.
Support with fishing line or thin wire.
[EDIT: Don't be an idiot like me and hang it that way up, as the female part fills with water!]
Merry spinning!
