Up to 45deg smoothly operating articulated shaft

Well done! It looks very complicated. Have you already an idea where to integrate it? Where is this Joint usually applied in real life?

Dear Joscha.

Indeed the Thompson Constant Velocity Joint seems to be complicated, but this was my motivation to try building it using only Lego parts, see http://rcvj.reininghaus.org/. For Lego constant velocity joints there is no real life application except having fun , so I am not going to integrate it anywhere. For real life applications of the Thompson Constant Velocity Joint please see https://thompsoncouplings.com/tcvj/.
