Thanks to everyone that voted. I’ll be switching to the 12PM (Noon) Eastern drop time for September. Will evaluate if we’ll make that the official time going forward.

I know you’ve said eventually you’ll release STLs - just wanted to express my interest as well. I quite like your design with regards to the thread inserts and swivel bearings
I’d definitely be interested in a “hardware only” kit (everything except the printed parts) + STLs for a price - Similar to Mosaic’s Electronics + Hardware
I do respect withholding the designs, I don’t expect them to be free etc.
Would likely be more cost effective for international shipping + allow end user color choices.
Again, just food for thought. Cheers
Hello, very interested! First time I saw thing and looks great! I did have a few questions though
- How big is this comparatively to a ‘usual’ SR6? I
- Did you have pictures of the desk mount when its mounted and not mounted?
I saw you mentioned you prefer the OSR2+ compared to SR6 if the servo’s are bad. Has there been SR6’s sold with good servos lol, it makes sense because I would for sure prefer smooth/quiet servos.
Excited for you next drops, I’ll try to get my hands on one!
Noted! I’ve been thinking about this quite a lot. I was intentionally waiting on releasing them for a few reasons.
- Was going to wait until my interest in building started waning and I wanted to reduce my output of produced units.
- There’s been several other services popping up providing plastics or built units from overseas for very low cost. My improvements, while not complicated, are a differentiating element between offerings on the market. If other services/vendor pick up my models, then I no longer have a competitive advantage in terms of design.
- I selfishly want to see my designs being built/used in the proper way. The plastics are just 1 part of my builds, the labor, hardware, tooling, and techniques are also all essential for the most reliable and durable builds. By controlling the designs (for now), I’m able to control the quality of how they’re being used.
I’ve also considered this. I’ve costed out international shipping fees for sub-1 pound packages, and they’re surprisingly close in cost to a fully built unit. Not to mention that carefully bagging and labeling each type of fastener, insert, etc. could be almost as much labor as simply building the unit 
, makes this option not a good one at the moment.
I don’t mean to be a debbie downer, but I’m (unfortunately) still having a lot of fun building these for forum members and want to keep the ball rolling for now. This all being said, my designs aren’t super special and have been modified with free programs such as Fusion 360 or TinkerCAD. With a little effort and learning, you should be able to do the same (or better) if you have a printer and ambition. Don’t hesitate if you need any advice/measurements - I’ve pretty much documented all the mods that I’ve done in my OP.
Thanks!

It’s definitely smaller. If you need a frame of reference to compare pics, both the OSR and SR6 have VESA 100 mounting points. e.g. the 4 mounting holes in each corner are 100mm apart/square.
Desk Mount On
Desk Mount Off
Not sure if there are other vendors selling SR6’s with upgraded servos. It would be costly though, as the servos are the major part of the BOM, and there are 2x the servos needed for the SR6.
As someone who just recently made a “OSR2+ g90ak Edition” purchase AND built my own SR6 prior, the OSR2+ is way smaller and quiter than the SR6 (I used the same servos). OSR2+ could be put in a drawer thats just over 3" deep and you essentially need a box/shelf for the SR6.
As far as the servos go you can still get bad parts for reputable brands, theres a bit of “play/movement” on one of my SR6’s servos, and i also had to replace the fish eye bearings for the same reason. You wont have to worry about any of that with one of these units (in my experience).

I’m having a lot of issues with my pre build OSR2+ which all seem to be covered/fixed in your build. I had the screws of both arms pop out when using it. Some of the servo horns came loose too and the washers need to be replaced already. It’s gotten so bad I’m kind of too anxious to use it properly lol… I really hope I can get one next drop.

Thanks, I’ll stick to the OSR2+ for now! I need to pay more attention because I completely missed the drop this month lol
I am interested in your work and will keep an eye out for upcoming drops. Meanwhile I do have some questions.
I’ve read that the OSR2+ has a stroke length of 120mm (default) and 150mm (max) I wasn’t able to found how the maximum can be reached and if your model is also able to provide 150mm?
Also, since I’m in Europe (France specifically), I’d like to know under what category do you ship the product? Just so I can find out how import taxes would apply. (Perhaps another customer could answer that).
Not sure
No idea what default vs max means, but I just tested one of mine and it has a travel of 155 mm.
I ship it under code HS 9503.00.0000 - Tricycles, scooters, pedal cars and similar wheeled toys; dollsʼ carriages; dolls, other toys; reduced-scale (“scaleˮ) models and similar recreational models, working or not; puzzles of all kinds; parts and accessories thereo
Thanks!

Well, the information isn’t easy to find due to some recent legal changes and the fact that laws are always just obscure enough to confuse the average man…
But here’s the rundown, which may be of interest to other European buyers (although I can’t confirm it will be the same in every EU country). There should be no import taxes as long as the CIF isn’t too high. The CIF is the sum of the Cost of the merchandise, the Insurance, and the shipping cost (Freight).
However, VAT still applies and amounts to 20% of the CIF. For reference, if the merchandise is declared at a price of 100 USD, with 50 USD for shipping and insurance, we are left with 0 import taxes and 26 EUR of VAT. So in the end, it depends on the price you declare the merchandise at…
In addition, specific transporters may charge extra for their own services. I suppose you’re using either USPS or FedEx?
My Pearl cases fit perfectly too (pearl cases that came with Fleshlight Girls)
Moving back to the midnight (Eastern Time) drop time. Works out better for my schedule/life for now.
Reminder - DROP TONIGHT (10/1) AT 12:00AM MIDNIGHT EASTERN TIME, 9:00PM PACIFIC
