🔬 [Review] “Silent” SR6 From AliExpress: How Quiet Can It Be?

Great review! I’m always so appreciative of how detailed and thorough both your posts and responses/comment always are. You really went the extra mile with your videos and measurements. If I had the chance, I would 100% go back and tell myself to invest in the the SR6/OSR ecosystem over the Syncbot; this all just looks so much more immersive. I have been waiting on ordering an OSR2/SR6 as I wanted better servos at purchase without needing to message anyone or buy them and replace them myself; this might be the year I do so!

Made a quick enhancement to the desk mount. Stick two piece of rubber strip next to the C clamp. This prevents the protruding nuts from digging into your tabletop, also makes the unit more stable during operation.

Notice the gears being lubricated in their photo. Most servos are bone dry, but you can open them up and add the same silicone grease you’d use on the screw drive of a 3d printer and it quiets them noticeably.

What is the maximum stroke length?

Just took a measure and it’s approximately 12cm.

And I quote Tempest:

On stroke lengths, for reference the stroke length of the OSR2 is actually 112mm, although it is possible to make it longer with minimal changes to the firmware. The SR6 is designed to a stroke length of 120mm.

The STLs of this receiver is now available in Tempest’s server: Discord
I also designed one for the OSR2 with a similar concept. Not yet test printed. Will share later.

Any thoughts on 3rd-party firmware?

Khrull’s T-code ESP32? Just works.

SR-Control (controlfirmware.com) is very good and easy to set up.

Fuck it bought one. Thanks for review and code. What power supply should do get?

Thank you for the detailed review, I bought one and the vesa mount. I was looking for an upgrade to my handy and this toy seems to be the best available at the moment.
I am curious about the onaholes setup, do I need something else besides what comes in the box. It is unclear to me if some of those accessories need to be printed.

If you’ve ordered the standard version (without twist), it should come with the open receiver which will easily strap a onahole in place.

If you’ve ordered the version with twist, you’ll need that adapter for onahole. I’m not sure if it come with one or you’ll have to buy separately. Probably consult their customer service on that.

Can confirm that the shipping time, at least to the EU isn’t excessively long like some packages from China can be.
Mine will be ready to be picked up tomorrow according to the local postal service which is 16 days since i ordered it.

I can’t wait to get my hands on it. :slight_smile:

I got the version with twist, their aliexpress listing doesn’t mention the included accessories.
I joined their discord and found some tutorials but they are very basic FUNOSR2,SR6 tutorial - Google Docs

L.E. They are very prompt on aliexpress messaging area, the onahole holder appears to be included.

Oohhh this pretty much convinced me to get an SR6, they look like a lot of fun! Though there’s a few things…

Can I just take it out of the package and use it? Or do I need extra stuff or build it myself?

And once I have it mounted and ready, how can I connect it to scritps? Or fasten a fleshlight?

Apologies if it’s dumb questions, just wanting to make sure before I buy one.

Well guess that’s the point of buying a pre-built unit!

You use MultiFunPlayer or XTPlayer to play script. Fleshlight casing should be directly compatible with the twist receiver - if it doesn’t, you can use the fleshlight case they’ve prepared for you.

Probably read this topic too:

Aahhh I see I see, so if I buy a pre built one, I can just take it out, plug it in and it works? That’s nice was just afraid I had to know a lot of engineering to use it.

I read that one as well. Thank you so much! The ones you buy from your links, like from Aliexpress or this one:

Are they any different? And is there one you’d recommend?

Also thank you so much for answering, even if my questions are a bit stupid lol
