Totally Repairable!

You need to get your hands on some scrap PETG filament off of a failed print..
And just use them to form new walls for the pillow ball to screw into.

Plus a little super glue to fill the voids!

M6x1.0 helical steel thread insert and it’s stronger than new!

Good idea, I have a local shop that sells those helicoils, I’ll go by tomorrow and pick up a couple.

Sure the V5 pivot balls aren't M6×0.75? I believe they are.

I will check, honestly this week has been hectic, I haven’t even looked into it.

I believe they are. 0.75 pitch. I have both the short V3 older ones & new longer V5 ones, & they are different thread pitch. Older is 1.0 & new is 0.75, just a thought before you got into some inserts or such.

Could be finer thread, but I had a set of 1.0s somehow in my inventory. Close enough for one time use with the flexibility of composite either way on spring type helical.
