SSR2 Alpha

[Tempest]

(TL;DR - I’m releasing an all-new 2-axis device design. It has a unique mechanism that can stroke as fast as SSR1 and also twists.)

Hi Guys, just letting you know what’s coming from me in the near future.

I’ve been resisting calls for a twist module for SSR1. These can be heavy and awkward, but the main reason is I really don’t like the flying leads needed to hook up a twist motor electrically. Historically the leads to the twist servos on the OSR2 and SR6 were always a pain.

SSR2 (the Silent Stroker Robot, 2-axis) is a totally new device. It mounts just like an OSR2 or SR6 would, but it uses a unique drive system with two brushless motors in parallel to achieve a similar stroke rate to SSR1 with twist at the same time. Best of all, because it’s all done using a cunning differential belt drive there are no wires being flexed every time the receiver moves.

There’s some new cool Tempest tech in this design. Obviously there’s the dual motor drive–derived from my linear actuators–and the twist gearing, but also the twist bearings, which proved surprisingly challenging to make quiet. There’s nothing more complicated on this device than on anything else I’ve released before though. The design emphasis, as always, is on making this device easy to build and quiet.

As you can see I have a working prototype now. I still have to finish the electronics housing design, but the mechanism is working well. Something that I like is the unique configuration of this device: using a VESA 100 mount means I can create something that no commercial company would ever come up with.

The initial STLs will be available via my Patreon or SubscribeStar pages in the near future. This is an “Alpha” device, meaning it’s more experimental than my other devices and the design is evolving too quickly for super detailed build plans at this stage. So far though I’ve been very impressed with the performance of this device and I want to give you guys the chance to build it.

I am only able to come up with these unique machines thanks to the support of my subscribers. Thankyou to all of you, you know who you are.

Bro is out here single-handedly revolutionizing the industry. Hat’s off to you!

Will it use only fleshlight sleves or thwre would be some kind of adaptwr for the handy sleves too

[SomeoneRandom]

for the OSR2 there are already alot of adapters that use the same connection method as a fleshlight. from what i can see these should also work.

The SSR2 is designed around the Kiiroo FeelStroker case, though this is compatible with fleshlight sleeves and I’ve released a 3D printable case.

There is no reason why adaptors for other sleeve types can’t be added. Not sure the Handy sleeve would be the best suited, but it’s completely doable.

Giving you the ability to easily build and own exactly the device you want is kind of the point of what I do.

We’re getting close to full Alpha release now.

I’ve already released half of the STLs, but I’m finishing up the main body and electronics enclosure design. The second half of the STLs will then be released on my Patreon and SubscribeStar pages.

I’ve already demonstrated how to build the receiver in a community livestream earlier this month. Once the rest of the STLs are live I will follow up with a second livestream showing how to get the device wired up and working.

Big thanks as always to my Patrons and Subscribers who make this possible!

Aaaand SSR2 Alpha is now fully live. Looking forward to seeing some of these out in the wild and getting some feedback.

You will banckrupt me with your creations and i dont know if its a bad thing or not because they are soo good

[TedBaxter]

Looks great. For the non subscribers do you have a link to a video of the alpha in action. I am interested in hearing how loud it is before I consider subscribing and building one.

@TedBaxter

do you have a link to a video of the alpha in action?

I’m sure I can arrange a clip of it in action, yeah. Watch this space.

[Tempest]

Here we go. I’ve done an intro video.

The ultimate homebuilt adult toy?

[TedBaxter]

Thank you

This looks amazing! I have the handy but really want to try some multi axis swivel type stuff lol. Are you also in the UK? What software do we use to sync videos to it? I’m guessing it doesnt sync up with the handy site?

I am UK based, though I don’t sell hardware so it doesn’t really matter. I’m on the internet.

All of my devices are TCode based, so they work with a TCode player. MFP and XTP are the best choices, and you can find them on this site.

What’s the estimated cost of building this device? Is it harder to build than SSR1? Does it require soldering?

[Tempest]

I’d estimate $150-$200 for the parts depending on where you are in the world and where you get them from.

You might need to do a little soldering but it’s mostly just attaching the pins to the PCBs as most of the wiring is done with jumper wires. So there’s potentially a bit of wire crimping to be done. I tend to recommend beginners tackle one of my simpler devices first to get their hand in, but that said it’s not a mega difficult build really.

Hi Tempest,

I recently purchased a Vacuglide 2 this Xmas and in 2021 I built an OSR2+ with Twist.

I want to combine your devices with the suction power of the Vacuglide!

I imagine the SSR2 upstroke being augmented with the suction of the vacuglide, like a powered version of the T-valve cap. Autoblow released a universal adapter cap that fits fleshlight sized cases, but that machine struggles to stroke with a full sized receiver. The SSR2 could take care of the stroking motion for the VC2.

The twist module is a game changer, and it would be awesome if the twist is able to spin while the suction is enabled on the upstroke. I am sure it would need a ton of lubrication given the added resistance.

I am wondering if the SSR2 with Twist device would be compatible with the Vacuglide 2 from a hardware perspective?
