Printing a water-tight ball joint like manufactured shower heads use will be pretty tough. I would instead try to integrate a flexible tube and an adjustable arm, so that the structural and water-carrying parts are separate, and don’t have to make compromises for one another.
do mind, longterm wateruse on a PLA-part makes it soft.
