Agree that it isn’t indicative of a fully built system. However, there are a lot of other factors that affect the sound of a fully built system:
Sleeve weight - servos can be varying degrees of louder based on the sleeve a user chooses.
Mounting location - even though I use foam tape on the desk mount, the unit will still transmit vibration to the mounting surface. Some desks will deaden that transmitted sound, while others may actually amplify it.
Stroke length - an OSR2+ at full stroke will be louder than one with a limited one. Since everyone’s wangs are different, most people will not utilize the full 0-100 distance.
Sleeve tightness - much like weight, the amount of friction between the user and the sleeve will affect the sound of the servos.
Stroke speed - depending on the user’s speed limit settings AND the script speed, servos can be louder.
For those reasons I really focused on the most “pure” and controllable test between the servos - which was to test the servos in isolation and mounted into identical mounts. Yes, this could also be accomplished by testing 2 identically built units, but would still not be indicative of how it may sound once it is in use by an individual.
I do see where you are coming from and understand that many factors could affect the sound of the fully built system. I was just wondering “hmm wouldn’t it be good if people could hear how it sounds like while it’s working?” as there were a lot of praise on how the M45CHW servos are quieter.
Cant wait to get my new desk and join in a future drop! Right now my desk shifts around too much when using handsfree mounts (comes off the wall and monitors get rattly) so I’ve had to go back to handheld… but as soon as I can do a handsfree again… better believe I’ll be getting one of these!
Hey all. Sorry to inform you that there will be no mid month drop. I’ve been really sick and wasn’t able to carve out enough time to build without rushing.
Bad news first, skipping the 4/1 drop due to vacation and site migration/instability. I’ll shoot for 4/11 and 4/21 drop dates, but will confirm as we get closer.
Better news, I will be donating to Eroscripts - $15 per unit sold in April - to assist with hosting and migration costs.
With the site back up and SPEEDY stable, next drop is scheduled for 4/10 - tomorrow night at 12:00 Eastern Time. And as a reminder $15 per unit sold will be donated directly to Eroscipts!
Next drop will be tomorrow night 5/1 at midnight Eastern!
Thank you to all who purchased my 6 units this month - I will be making a donation to Eroscripts totaling $90 USD. Vlad has been doing a ton of hard work and I’m glad the community can give a little back!
Unfortunately I have to travel for work next week, so the #5.5 drop will be delayed until Saturday 5/17 @ midnight. Will post up a reminder towards end of next week. Apologies and thank you!
