Grand Reopening Sale! OSR2+ discount!

I was the first person to sell OSR2s, way back when we were on realtouchscripts. After selling nearly 100 of them, I fell out of it due to the difficulty of maintaining my 3d printers. I am now back to making these full time. Modern printers make a much higher quality product, and they have freed up time for me to improve the original design.

These are $170 plus shipping in the United States. I will also donate $5 to eroscripts for each unit sold during the sale period.




These are example designs. I can put most logos and other graphics on the lid as desired. Something really intricate isn’t possible, but most, for example, sports teams logos and things like that can be done. Any color, stripe pattern, etc is all doable and included in the price. If I do not have the color you want in stock, you may have to wait an extra day or two before I can get it from Amazon. The diamond plating you can see on some of the lids and arms is optional. I can do a plain texture, smooth texture, diamond, or carbon fiber, any at no extra cost.

How Do I Order?

Simply message me here with what design you’d like. I will send you a mock-up for your approval. Once the design is settled, I will send you a Paypal invoice, and your device will normally ship within 24 hours of receiving payment. I will keep you updated every step of the way.

What is included?
You will receive a fully functional OSR2+. This includes:

  • The base device and the pitcher.
  • 3 35kg servos with heatsinks on the two main ones. These are quite a bit quieter than the 20kg ones I used to use.
  • Power connector and power switch for the servos.
  • Customized color scheme.
  • One customized lid. Additional lid designs can be purchased for $5 at the time of your order.

What else do I need?

Okay, but why yours?
Great question! As stated at the beginning, I was basically the first person selling these. I saw all of the problems, which mostly related to the pitcher itself breaking. I have completely redesigned that part. I do not offer a legal warranty, but I will send out replacement printed parts.

The changes that I have made from the newest TempestMax design are:

  • The entire design has been reworked to be stronger, sturdier, and curvier. Most hard edges have been removed or reduced.
  • All bolts thread into brass inserts, not plastic. This allows the bolts to be actually tight and reduces the risk of them becoming loose over time.
  • This unit is controlled with a USB-C ESP32. No old micro USB port!
  • The lid has been reworked to allow for heatsinks on the main servos, and it is secured with 4 bolts.
  • The pitcher has been reworked to not have a removable lid, and vent holes have been added front and rear. This greatly strengthens the part that was most likely to break.
  • Long pitcher arm has been replaced with a metal rod (a matching plastic one will be included).
  • Large button added to the servo power switch.
  • The pitcher wire is covered with a removable, magnetic lid:
  • The internal wiring is organized with a 3D printed harness. I have designed these units to be as easily and quickly assembled as possible. This makes them very repairable with all off-the-shelf parts (besides the 3d printed ones, obviously).

I want more!
I do plan on making the full suite of TempestMax products available. A servo upgrade will be available as soon as I find a servo that works well and is close to silent. I am hoping to find something where the upgrade will be around $100 or less.

The next device will likely be the t-wist 5. That is in the early stages right now, and is looking to be in the $75-$95 range, mostly depending on which servo meets my standards. If you buy an OSR2+ from me, it is already prewired to support the t-wist. You will simply need to replace the two included spacers on the right-hand side with the t-wist unit, then swap out the receivers.

I am also willing to look into other accessories or toy holding options upon request. I highly recommend you join the Tempest Discord/Patreon. The amount of knowledge there is far greater than I could ever hope to possess myself.

I also have a website this time around, https://www.strokerbotics.com/ . It is very much a work in progress, but it is technically open to orders. OSR2+ — StrokerBotics.com

I am sure I forgot a few things, and I will update this post as I think of them. I also plan on adding a complete writeup to the website on setting this device up with a Windows computer, among other tutorials.

Hi, any update on servo upgrades? I’m interested in a unit, but I would like quiet servos.

Also, does the unit come with Twist4?

Thanks!

The servos I have been testing are far quieter than the standard servos. I have a few other parts coming in that should eliminate the small amount of slop that is creating noise unrelated to the servos. Currently they are a $70 upgrade.

No, this does not include a t-wist. It is pre-wired for a t-wist, but I will be releasing the t-wist 5 for it at some point, not the 4.
