Hi. Was about to make a post to show off my SR6’s “new skin” but accidentally killed it before posting, so I guess this will be become a memorial post.
This is the one unit I bought and wrote this review for:
Long story short, one day I plugged it in for some VaM actions. It doesn’t move. Checked my power supply. Says “24V” on the label… Shit.
Lesson of the day: label your PSU and check before plugging them into bespoke electronic devices. You can fry them if not careful.
I can try to resurrect it, but since most cost of the device lies within the 6 servos (which are now fried), not sure if it’s even worth trying.
Anyway, I got a 3D printer over the summer and started modding my toys with it. Mostly for the look but sometimes for function as well. I basically turned it from this:
to this:
The shiny cover was printed on a “ripple effect” build plate with transparent PETG. Replaced the receiver with one modded for low-profile servos as to shed off some weight. The red-black servo arms were printed by @g90ak (I recommend their OSR2+ build btw, pure artisanship).
Credit due, the original build by FunOSR’s was quite solid and I would expect it to keep going for a couple years or so if not the mishap. I didn’t have to really do maintenance on it - mostly opening it up on my will because I want it to look / feel better.
Will miss it. In many ways the SR6 seems over-the-top as a stroker, but it truly is the best companion for Virt-a-Mate. its 6-axis nuance becomes very pronounced in that game, and you never have to worry about not finding multi-axis scripts. Yes, it’s louder, and I probably can’t ever go back to endure it after having tried the FunSR PRO, but given most VaM lap dance scenes are blasting music into my face, the servo noises mostly gets drowned out.
I can recommend the SR6 to anyone who wants to or have already been inside a VaM scene. Ideally with a VR headset, because it makes a difference.
Rest in peace o7
