Fuck, how the hell am I going to explain that I created a novel ball joint because I wanted to make a plastic suit for myself.

I think you just did 😊

Interrupted ball joint v2 now with smaller spikes and better rotation.

The way this will work is it will be part of the lower half such as below the knees while the joint (will be hollowed out with cutouts to stick into) is where your joint fits inside such as a knee joint. The ball joint will then be attached to the upper section by a rotating connector that would move on the thigh piece. This admittedly makes the previous design obsolete as it allows for greater freedom of movement and greatly reduced skin shown. The problem is that the complexity and size of the design might make it impractical for fingers and toes. This can however be a benefit if you prefer limiting hand functionality as the previous design has less freedom.

Here it is. The rough version of the final joint. Very little skin shown.

Lol, I was thinking more like this

And here is v3. With a hole in the middle and radial symmetry so it actually turns well at 10 degree increments.
