Modular Hose Loc-Line style

Description
I've created a base module that will bolt onto the shaft cover of your Thing-O-Matic. This can be used for mounting an adjustable light on your MakerBot.

the ones I just printed fit together but don't hold their shape. They are completely flexible and just fall with gravity. I'm thinking the design might assume there is some squish in the print.
have you tried, by a chance, to put it in a heat-shrink tube? The big commercial metal ones are enclosed in rubber that tightens them up ... maybe a heat shrink would add to water proofing without limiting the movement too much ?
Hi,
Loved the design and have printed 3 of the basic connector on a BfB3000, in ABS. Unfortunately, they are a long way off "clicking" together. The ball is about 0.5 to 1.0mm down on the size of the socket. Does anyone have any advice on what settings to tweak to improve the fit?

As a fun side note, This fits somewhat snugly on the end of tc_fea's beer bottle (thing:5305).
Could you - would you extend the skirt down about 2 mm and contour or radius it towards the connecting ball? I've found they could be more robust for quick adjustments and tighter bends without them popping out. I've intended to do this but, I'm just not learning the skill. I am trying. :(
Forgot - I like.
And please add a slight fillet (? 0.25 mm radius ?) to the sharp edge on the shoulder. Would make the entire object look a bit more polished. :-D
What's the hand for? Cuteness?
Yes. I've attached a photo of a printed one. I had connectors mounted on my bot and thought it looked like an arm.
This is very good - Tell me is it built in one piece? i.e "integrated eyeball" or is it build separably and press fit together. Ive been trying to figure out an approach to integrated eyeball that does not leak - its a fine line between sealing and in-build fusing -
Not all in one piece. I did use multiply to print nine in a group though. They're tough to get together, so they are nice and stiff when linked.
