Hi Guys,
In this livestream I will demonstrate how to assemble an SSR2. I'll start with the twist receiver and the other parts that I have released. Remember to join on discord if you'd like to participate in the chat, otherwise there...

Guys, I've been quite unwell for the last week and I've not made the progress I'd hoped. So here's the plan: as promised I'm going to release today the STLs as they are, which includes the finished receiver and top frame.
I will follo...

Hi Guys,
This is this month's livestream. As I mentioned a few days ago I have a new machine to show off. This is the Tune in and see me demonstrate the SSR2 prototype. This is my all-new two-axis brushless motor driven stroker.

Hi guys,
SSR2 Alpha is on the way.
This is a new multi-axis machine that combines up-and-down strokes with twist.
I've been resisting calls for a twist module for SSR1. These can be heavy and awkward, but the main reason is I rea...

Hi Guys,
It's now October so as promised here's an exclusive update on SSR2 Alpha. This device will be a 2-axis quiet stroker. It will have a VESA mounting scheme just like OSR2 and SR6 but its movement axes will be stroke and twist. This wi...

Hi Guys.
As I said in my public post, I'm going to do a livestream on heat management in SSR1. I've been doing some experiments and what I've found is very interesting. I'll demonstrate it live.
See you later on YouTube, or better stil...

Hi guys. This month I am doing some long needed research into the issue of motor heating. I am also aiming to get an early, early alpha for my 2-axis brushless device out soon.
Designing SSR1 has been a very interesting experience because wh...

Hi Guys, it’s time for an update on what I’ve been up to.
My long term goal is very quiet multi-axis stroker devices, driven by brushless motors, and I have been using the summer lull to make some significant progress toward this. In the...

This is the hardware release for May, in which I have given the SR6 some long overdue love and attention.
