May '24 Update (Patreon)

Hi Guys,

May has been the release month for the T-wist 5 Beta. Those of you who are in my Maker ($8) tier will have access to the part files and step-by-step build instructions for my latest OSR2 upgrade. I am trying to put these hardware releases out on 1st of each month now, as historically this is what I always used to do.

My supporter ($2) tier will have access to the build instruction video, as well as the two livestreams in which I filmed the clips I used to make it.

I'm pleased to say my Benefactors ($16 tier) newsletter is now up to date as I have released both the March and April newsletters in the last couple of weeks. I enjoy writing these because it allows me to go into a lot of depth talking about my designs and my creative process in general.

The next release on 1st June will be a selection of miscellaneous parts that have been requested: an OSR2 base optimised for thread inserts, the VESA display stand I use for photographs, and an SR6 receiver for T-wist5. This has meant that I have been using this month to work on some research and development stuff, which of course I will be covering on my Benefactors Devstream. I want to have something fun to put out in July.

My supporters should keep their eyes open for a livestream in the coming days. I haven't had anything in particular to share with you in the last few weeks, but as I have had my 3D printer running recently I will likely want to pop on and hang out whilst I do some assembly and testing. For this you can find me on the discord server of course.

Happy Building!

Tempest.
