I need to add flexibility to this joint (where the arrow is pointing) and I was thinking about using a method I saw on this flexible clamp. I ripped it apart and it looks like they used copper wire as the flex material. What would be the best wire to use? I'm worried that perhaps it could only be flexed so many times before breaking. The design I'm making won't require continual flexing but some users may flex the joint 2-3 times per day at the most.
Also I'm open to other ideas to add flexibility to this joint if you have any ideas.
Thanks!
