Fun sr1 2.0 vs osr2?

Hey im debating between these 2, dont need more axis than 2 with twist and will use with mfp and slr streaming. Have some questions please

I know osr2 u can easily buy and replace all the parts if needed/break, is it same with sr1? Which is more accurate playing scripts? Is the sr1 same as the upcoming slr toy or are they different?

  1. Yes. You can take both apart.
    Though it’s generally considered easier to repair an OSR2 at home (no soldiering required) than an SSR1.
    The FunSR1 gets a little more complicated with all its additional PCBs. Worst case you are covered with a warranty from the manufacturer.

  2. Negligible difference. Except for that the SSR1 moves in a straight linear motion, whilst the OSR2 is slightly curved.

  3. Not quite.
    SSR1 / OSR2 are essentially DIY solutions, whereas the SLR toy should appear as more of a full-fledged product.
    You might expect better surface finishes on the SLR toy and more sophisticated mechanical internals that you can’t easily replicate with off-the-shelf components (i.e. don’t expect to repair it yourself).
    This is not to say one may have better user experience compared to the other.

The upcoming SLR toy from what we’ve seen is literally just another one-axis stroker, if you have a handy, keon, etc basically same shit since its only up/down. Its not out yet so as far as I know no one has anything to say about it via firsthand experience.

The FUNSR1 2.0 basically only has stroke(up/down) and then twist. So for all intents and purposes its more of a middle ground b/t the one axis strokers and going full multi-axis.

I don’t have a FUNSR1 myself but I actually made a thread a while back asking about the same stuff about what to upgrade and what each one provides. From what I understand the FUNSR1 2.0 is definitely an upgrade to the one-axis strokers but people are definitely assuming that the FUNSR1 is likely to get another iteration at some point, esp since people were saying something about belts slipping or w/e. But for the most part people love what they got out of it and have said adding the twist as an extra axis added a lot to their experience.

I bought an osr2 from g90ak recently and am still getting into testing it and playing around to see what I like/hate about it. His models don’t currently come with a twist module so you have to source a third party site and install it yourself. But its not that complicated and there are a few sellers that sell the osr2 model with a twist. If you only want the twist you can disable all other axis’s in multifunplayer. But adding roll and pitch to the scripts does add quite a bit to the experience.

I would definitely recommend shopping around and doing comparisons based off of photos and reviews of the funsr and the osr2 providers. The OSR2 sellers that I can push you towards based off of photos of print quality atm are craftyhandy, vespera(from the community), g90ak(also from the community). From what I understand vespera might still have a model up for grabs but g90 literally just finished a drop a day or two ago and his next drop is apparently on the 15th if you want to wait for that.

If price is a concern you have to take into account accessories and shipping and not just the base price(for example: the handy is technically one of the cheapest on the market but isn’t great for handheld so more or less requires a handfree setup that technically adds to the final cost).

For me right now, the funsr1 2.0 with the desk mount is about $247+43(shipping thru aliexpress), so about 290 usd before tax.

G90’s models are $160(base) or $260(quiet), domestic shipping within the US adds about $20. You can source your own desk mount and take $15 off the price. But you will also require other accessories, a usb c cable that does data transfer as well as a power supply. So that’ll add about another $20 if you don’t have them laying around. You get exclusive scripts as a bonus but once again, no native twist module. So about $300ish for the quiet model plus shipping and accessories. Any extra sleeve adapters are like $10 bucks

Vespera ships from the UK(discounted shipping) and his models are about ÂŁ215 or $267. His models come with the twist already installed and are quiet servos by default. He prints extra adapters for w/e sleeves you use if you ask.

Craftyhandy has a variety of options on things and availability depends cause I don’t think they advertise here. Their website is easy enough to navigate so you can just check that out yourself.

Slr toy for sure a no go for me in that case. Im sure will be easy to use and be polished product but not easy to service is a dealbreaker. I had a keon and one day after stopped working became a paper weight since was out of warranty. Think will go with osr2 since i dont have soldering tools or knowledge and easy repairability is important for me. Kind of just little put off by the osr2 noise i hear in videos vs other toys, but thats a tradeoff
Thanks

I recently purchased the g90ak OSR2+ and let me tell you it is about the best quality you can get from a hobbyist multi-axis stroker today. I had one from another store but it was not as polished or sturdy and was much easier to strip the screw holes, plus there was no power switch. I definitely recommend the quiet edition, it’s very noticeably quieter than those with cheaper servos, and the servos feel like they will last longer.

The only drawback is no twist which is honestly one of the best parts about multi-axis imo. Either way, you can buy a multi-axis receiver for pretty cheap and it’s very easy to install. The main expense there will be the servo, especially if you want quiet. The twist servo has always been the loudest servo in my experience.

I recently built an OSR2+ as an upgrade from my Handy. My opinion was similar to yours regarding multi-axis movement - nice, but something I thought I would need.

Having used the OSR2+ for a while now, I will say with confidence that multi-axis movement is a gamechanger. Multifunplayer can even apply it to Single-Axis scripts.

The FUNSR1 is an interesting concept, but ultimately still a relatively young design that’s still being worked out. On the other hand, the OSR2+ is well established, more powerful (depending on your servos) offers multi-axis movement, and generally costs only a touch more.

Firstly, thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate it!

Secondly, while the twist servo does produce noise itself, there are also several gears in the twist mechanism, as well as a good amount of plastic sliding on plastic that contribute to noise as well. Keeping them greased helps a bit, but its definitely not a mod if you value quiet-ish operation.

Just to point out one other option, since you’re comparing prices - I got all the pieces for my first OSR2 with twist and suction cap printed using an online 3D printing service for about $30. With aliexpress servos and ESP32 and m3 and m4 hardware kits… It was right around $100 total to put it together. If I were doing it again, I’d have sprung for better servos and raised the cost a little but… It’s definitely a lot cheaper to put it together yourself.

Also, for $200ish… you can buy an A1-mini and do the printing yourself. You’ll still need the $70ish in electronics and hardware, but that’s still not far outside the range of the other costs that were mentioned here, so it’s an option worth considering, too. Having a 3D printer is awesome for all kinds of projects… both sexy and otherwise!
