February '23 Update (Patreon)

Hi Guys,

We now have a working single axis mechanism driven by a brushless motor. This month I will be completing the design and you will get to see the SSR1 with its jacket on.

I have also created a fully 3D-printable case designed to go in the SSR1's receiver. This is based on, and compatible with, the Kiiroo Feel Stroker case used in the Keon. This is essentially a Flashlight case, but a much smarter, safer, more compact design, so it's ideal for what we're doing here.

I am making this design free to download, and a copy of it is attached to this post.

For my Maker ($8) tier my target is to get the full set of part STLs for the complete SSR1 by the end of the month, so that you guys can build one of these machines. Those of you who have already built the mechanism (I know some of you have!) are already half way there.

My Benefactors ($16 tier) will of course see this design as I progress it over the coming weeks. I will be beginning this year's dispatches with my summary of what I've been doing in January coming out in the next few days. I also have the hangout video from January, in which Telani and I talked all things brushless motor, which I will try to get out at the same time.

For my Supporter ($2) tier this month I will be livestreaming on Monday 20th February at 11pm GMT (5pm EST). By then I will have a new machine to show to you!

All the best!
