Time for an update on SSR1 Beta.
As of 1st March 2025 the full step-by-step build instructions are live on my Patreon and SubscribeStar pages. This is to go with the complete set of STLs, which are already live and available there.
This first iteration of the build instructions is 43 pages long and includes complete step-by-step instructions with pictures that detail the assembly process for the SSR1 Beta. I’ve basically replicated the detail and clarity that I used for the OSR2 and SR6 assembly documents for the SSR1.
There are now two versions of SSR1: SSR1-A and SSR1-B. The “A” version uses off-the-shelf part electronics like SSR1 Alpha. SSR1-B (for “Board”) uses the new SSR1 PCB, which massively simplifies the electronics assembly process (As in hook up the motor… and you’re done!).
The mechanism is common to both designs. The document takes you through the mechanism assembly and assembly for both sets of electronics.

As with all of my designs I am constantly making improvements, thanks to the support of my patrons. I recently added a cooling fan option to the design, for example. Expect further improvements and refinements to the design and the assembly document in the coming months.
