I think you just did 😊

I meant to post this response before you posted your spiky ball joint but I had a computer issue that required an immediate restart so I lost what I had typed in that post and had to redo it.
What you made reminds me of some medical braces that have lockable or limitable joints so I was thinking it might save some effort in building this device if you could get some of those aeady existing joints to use. If not maybe some inspiration could also help. I downloaded some photos of what I mean.
Using joints from these devices all over what you want to build might be useful.Â
These also might give you some inspiration or other ideas. These joints are different than the ones above and are called hirth joints.
Anyway, I hope this helps in some way. I'm super interested in what you're designing and can't wait to see how it turns out.
