Nice part. I'm not sure if it is because I am printing PLA or what, but the ball and the uprights ended up a bit too thick, so I had to sand them down quite a bit before it would rotate, but it works well enough!

Very nice. How steep of an angle can it handle?
I'm not sure beyond 90
° definitely. I actually designed this when I didn't have my RepRap working yet. I should print it sometime...
