20mm ball mount bracket for Kenwood TM-D710

The original model was for (I believe) a 1" ball. My mounting hardware was all 20mm, so I removed and replaced the ball and shaft (heh) to match 20mm mountings. In particular, I was working with a bulletpoint 20mm socket connector, so I needed to match up with that.

Pictured are the two prints I made, both in PETG. The first, the black one, was printed flat on its back with default 15% infill. This one showed depressions from the socket connector and drooping within a day of the summer heat. The second was printed standing upright with supports and 80% infill. This print turned out a little less “clean” than the first, but the layer lines are oriented for better support and I hope the material lasts a little longer than the other. The best option is to print in a material that has higher heat tolerance. I will be trying this out in ASA, but I haven't had a chance to get the printer set up for that.
