3D Printable VESA Desk Mount

Hi Guys,

Some 3D print STLs for you in this update.

This is a 3D-printable stand that will allow you to mount your OSR2 to a desk or table. It has three mounting positions and can be used either way up, which should give you a lot of height options.

You should use it with a couple of hex-headed M6 bolts (like the ones used for the OSR3) and a couple of M6 wingnuts. The bolt length should be the thickness of the table plus 10mm.

I recommend that you also invest in a set...

March of progress: OSR2+ & 5-axis VaM Plugin

Hi Guys. 

February has been pretty great, especially seeing the popularity of the OSR2. Again I have been blown away by the enthusiasm and support I have had from the community.

I've been thinking about new Multi-Axis Stroker Robot (MAxSR) designs and I am progressing those, but I also wanted to have something ready to release for the new month. A lot of people have already built an OSR2 so I thought it would be really cool if I could put out an upgrade; a bolt-on that would ...

OSR2+ Build Files

It's time to add another axis to your OSR2!

I have designed an add-on that you can use with your existing OSR2 to allow it to rotate in pitch as well as roll.

This post contains all the 3D print (STL) files you need. You will also need six M3x10 bolts and M3 washers and an extra standard servo. The third servo plugs into pin 9 on the Romeo; the external power bus is recommended but not essential.

The Pitcher arm should be attached to the third servo such that it is at right ...

OSR2 Power User Mod

Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJy2zMuCBGE

Hi Guys, I'm currently still working on the release version of the OSR2+ (3rd axis mod), so that is a week or so away at this point all being well.

In the meantime here's another "how to" video for those of you who want to get a little bit more out of your OSR2. I'm going to call you "power users" and you know who you are.

Patron News and Sneak Peak for March

Hi Guys, once again it's time for me to share an exclusive look at what I've been up to recently.

I have plans to re-visit the OSR3 with a 3D printed design, as well as future designs with more movement axes. That's progressing, but I'm not yet ready to share that.

Meanwhile the OSR2 has been incredibly popular. Sadly I have no way of counting, but it's entirely possible that there are already a hundred or so of them out in the wild after less than a month! I therefore thought it ...

Hi guys, it's taken me a bit longer than I was expected to get this finished, edited and uploaded but I think the result is pretty good.

A New Machine! Meet the OSR2

January has been incredibly exciting. Seeing the level of support I have been receiving from the community has been a real buzz, and it has spurred me on to getting a new machine out. I am very pleased with what I have to share with you today.

Meet the OSR2 (beta1).

I have learned a lot of lessons from the OSR3 and the result has been this design. It is 3D printed, which means that the part count is much reduced. It uses a small number of common, easy to source parts and few tools...

OSR2 Build Files

OSR2 release day is here! This post contains everything you need to build an OSR2.

Let me know if you run into difficulties.

Happy building, and thankyou for your support!

TCode Update - Video Script Compatibility

IMPORTANT - This is a complete update! v0.2 is new version of TCode that is not backwards compatible with my previous versions, including my older VaM plugins.

Hi Guys,

I'm very excited about this update!

I have been working with Raser1 over at the RTS forum for the last month and we are now ready to release an update to TCode that enables sync with scripted videos. This means that the OSR3, and upcoming OSR2, now work with an enormous range of scripted 2D and 3D ad...

OSR3 Mounting Solution

I've been doing a lot of work on the OSR2, getting it ready for release, but in the meantime I thought you might appreciate this.

This is a mount for the OSR3 in its current form that will attach it to an IKEA Poäng chair, or similar. I have included a plywood cutting plan (6mm) and also STLs for a 3D printed version. It uses the same M6 bolts as are used on the OSR3 design, with some wing nuts.

I recognise that one of the weaknesses in the current OSR3 design is in ways to mount...

Sneak peek at a new machine

Hi Guys. I've been working hard the last couple of weeks and I just finished printing the results. I'm very excited so I thought I would drop a couple of images of the prototype to tease you with what I will be releasing soon.

Meet the OSR2. I have designed it to be super-simple to build with only 6 3D printed parts and standard size servos. I've built it around a 100mm VESA mount, making it much easier to secure wherever you want to use it. No third axis, but it can do up-down and left...

3D Print Trial Parts

Hi guys,

This is a development blog post to let you know a bit more about what I have been up to over the last week or so.

I have mostly been getting to grips with a 3D CAD package, which is different from the one I usually use at work. The OSR3 was designed in 2D, which probably shows in the design, but now I am making the switch to 3D printed parts I need to go 3D. I have been practicing on some of the OSR3 parts, looking at reducing the part count.

This is where you can h...

New Year Progress Update

Hi Guys, and Happy New Year!

So what next? Where do I plan to go with this page in 2020?

Earlier this month I released the build plans for the OSR3, my prototype three-axis stroker robot. It’s been really exciting reading the overwhelmingly positive reception my work has had in the community, and especially the rave reviews by the people who have built their own OSR3 and been able to experience using it for themselves.

My mission is to give to you the plans for the ultimat...

More special video content for my supporters.

In this video I give you a tour of the T-Code Serial Controller plugin for Virt-a-Mate, and I explain how it works and how to use it to control the OSR3 or RSM. I like to think that it is reasonably self-explanatory, but in case it isn't I go th...

T-Code Serial Controller v1.2

Hi guys, I just wanted to say a big thank you for supporting my work!

I have created a short video to give you an exclusive close look at the OSR3 prototype:

T-code serial controller plugin & demo VaM scene

This is the v1.1 release of my serial controller that allows direct control of an Arduino controlled robot sex toy via a USB serial connection. The Robot Sex Machine (RSM) is also supported.

There are three main parts:

1. VaM plugin (.cs)
2. Arduino sketch (.ino)
3. VaM demo scene (.json)

The plugin communicates with the Arduino using a simple alphanumeric protocol called T-code, which is generic and intended for Arduino toy innovation. The plugin also s...

OSR3 Plans

The OSR3 is an Open source Stroker Robot (3-axis). It is designed to be easily home built from off-the-shelf and laser cut components.

I am very pleased to be able to share the full design details and cutting plans with you.

The machine was originally built to be used with Virt-a-Mate (VaM), for which I have created a plug-in, however it uses an open source control protocol that is easy to understand and code for,...
