Well... if you can't find an STL file for something you are interested in making then your best alternative is to make your own.

Download OpenSCAD (free) and start creating. I don't know the dimensions of the ball turret in question, but I can't imagine it being too difficult to create a model for one if you have the specs in mind.

If you have any programming experience at all, OpenSCAD shouldn't be too hard to pick up quickly.

Do you have a 3D printer, or would you be going through someone like Shapeways?

EDIT: Or do a quick google search like I just did... there are at least 2 different ball turrets on Thingiverse alone. There are dozens of other sites as well...
