Alright I made a bunch of purchases last year and Ive had time to setup and test everything and write out my thoughts on everything.
G90AK’s OSR2+
(Gonna use the format from G90’s feedback thread since I’ll post a link of this thread on there)
Itemized Total($273): OSR2+ with Quiet Motors($265),Quickshot Receiver($10),Shipping($23),BlackfridayDiscount(-$25)
Extras: Powersupply($26), Soldering Iron&M3 Inserts($20), Monitor Arm($33)
Pre-sales: Customer service experience is fucking impeccable, good fucking shit. Very responsive and very clear in responding to any inquiries that I had since I have never had a multi-axis device before. Answered any questions I had about how certain sleeves work with the OSR2+ .
Extra props to G90, he helped modify a lip cap STL file for the fleshlight case so that I could work with the FL Go Sleeve line since that’s my daily driver, and he printed and sent it for free. He didn’t have to do this, I just needed the STL file modified so I could find a local printer to do it. Big props for the extra customer service.
Sales experience - Okay, I’m not gonna lie, purchasing through paypal and using friends and family is really sketch cause there’s no customer protection through this method. However, its fine, this technically isn’t a business and I’ve had 0 issues with the process and it was simple enough. Tracking/shipping was clear concise fast and easy, no issues. Received my product within a week or two of purchase(within United States).
Prep/setup experience - Setup experience is great. Clear instructions and a guide are provided and everything is easy to setup and is plug and play. And if you’re trying to upgrade stuff is marked down on the pcb board inside so you just plug in the upgrades into the right area. He is also willing to answer questions or film videos for specific instructions/steps.
The only concern I had going from my previous device to the OSR2 was the autohoming/starting position. Since I was used to starting with the device at the bottom most position(to make sure I’m all the way in/at the bottom of the stroke) I wasn’t sure how to use the device with it defaulting to 50 on all axises. This can be changed through MFP by adjusting the autohome on each axis.
Packaging/Shipping experience - Item was throughly packaged and it arrived at a reasonable time since it was a domestic purchase. Device and parts were in extra boxes and wrapped with bubblewrap.
Product quality - The 3D print is really fucking clean. I purchased the Blued Frost model from his Black Friday Sale, looks really nice with the white/blue color scheme. Everything feels sturdy enough and well made, so no issues here.
The Quickshot adapter is used on the quickshot case, you fit the mouth into the adapter, and then turn to lock it in. Unfortunately the adapter is a tight fit on the cases that I have available. G90 also has his own adapter and his own case and it seems to work on his end so this is possibly due to the construction tolerances of the cases. I can squeeze the case into the adapter and it is currently holding, but I can’t turn the case to lock it in. G90 has offered to print another adapter or a full refund for the adapter. This was a nice offer but for the time being I have just taken some sandpaper to the inner ring to shave it down.
Use experience - Use experience is excellent. Noise is alright since I got the quiet servos. Definitely have to play around with the device more and adjust things to get it just right. Still learning how to use MFP as well. The only concern is that since this is less of a industrial/professional product made by a company it definitely feels more dangerous because it is. The OSR has more power than a Keon so bodily harm is on the table if you don’t test and properly calibrate.
Exclusive scripts - The exclusive scripts are great and you basically get access to a fuck ton of scripts and any future ones that might come out. The only note I have is for a set of scripts that come with the purchase of a multi-axis device, I don’t think there are multi-axis scripts. This is understandable however due to the extra complexities that come from scripting multi-axis. And it is possible to turn the single-axis scripts into multi-axis through MFP: Multifunplayer - TRANSFORM Single Axis Scripts into Multi-Axis. Honestly, this function works well enough as a substitute for handmade multiaxis, so not having any in the gigantic mega repository is fine.
Aftermarket modifications/purchases- The only NECESSARY extra purchase outside of the OSR2 itself is the powersupply. You have to source your own powersupply that is compatible with the OSR2 with the right amp/volt/wattage.
One of the issues I had going from the Keon to the OSR was postioning the device and inserting is a lot harder with a deskmount vs getting into the device and holding it in place against the desk. The supplieddeskmount was fine but I definitely wanted an easier way to manipulate the device so I bought a monitor mount.
The osr2 is vesa mount compatible and fits the standard vesa mount sizes.
Bought a cheap gas spring arm off amazon basics, returned it cause I didnt trust the arm to stay in position and I wasn’t sure the device could hold the gas spring down. Also there wasn’t a way to mount it upside down.
Bought a slightly more expensive mount with stationary arms where I can mount it upside down. It came with a vesa mount bracket that I attached to the back of the OSR and then I can just slide the device on top of the arm and lock it in with a nut.
The other after market modification was the twist receiver. Installation of a twist receiver to the OSR2 is relatively easy. You just need a soldering iron and m3 inserts if the twist-receiver does not have them installed(the one I bought did not). Once the twist receiver has m3 inserts heat pressed in, all you have to do is use an allenkey to take off the old receiver and swap it out. Once thats done you just run the wire into the hole in the box and plug it into the clearly marked spot on the board. Easy installation for the most part.
Mosaic’s Twist Receiver
The second purchase I made was a T-wist Receiver and a quickshot case(so I can use the endcap from the Fleshlight turbo) from Yourhobbiescustomized.com.
Twist Receiver($50), Quickshot case($10), Replacement Servo Extension Wire($1)
Unfortunately I’m including this part of the review because of issues I had with my purchase.
The photo for the receiver at time of purchase did not match the received product. The shipped product is a twist receiver 4, while the photo is of what I assume is the first generation twist receiver. Now this wouldn’t normally be an issue, getting a later revision of the receiver, but the issue is I purchased the receiver based off of the picture. The twist receiver in the picture had the ends of the 3 wires in dupont connectors(used to plug into the board). The twist receiver that I received connects to the board with a servo extension, 1 wire was in a dupont connector and there were 2 loose wires without any connector. Now I assume this is fine if I had an osr from the seller since his models seem to just use the loose wires, but the photo led me to believe that this would be compatible with any osr that just uses the pins. This is mostly just an issue that can probably be fixed if the seller just updates the photos of the products.
In order to fix the issue, I contacted the seller and was sent an invoice for a new extension cable. $1 for the cable and $4.50 for shipping. Honestly this isn’t great because the cables are cheap, like cents on the dollar cheap. Eventually he lowered it to just $1 for the cable. I said yeah sure fine fuck it whatever paid the invoice and got the wire so I could actually plug it into the board.
Print quality is more of an artistic thing since its usually just about how it looks. Unfortunately the print quality became a functional issue. The inside ring of the receiver had a bunch of bubbles and bumps that actually interfered with the insertion and locking-in of the fleshlight case. The bumps and bubbles on the inside ring made it so the fleshlight case couldn’t be inserted in easily and prevented it from being able to be turned to engage the latch. I can’t attribute this issue to the build tolerances of the case and the receiver because it was clear that the bumps were scratching the case itself. I had to take sandpaper to the receiver in order to be able to easily insert and lock in the case.
The purchased quickshot case doesn’t engage the latch on the twist receiver for some reason. I’ll probably take some sandpaper to it and see if I can get it to work.
Other than the wire snafu and the print quality being kind of poor, the twist receiver worked, so I can’t really complain about that.
