August Release - An Experimental Receiver
🕑 Added 2022-08-25 23:05:28 +0000 UTCHi Guys, this month I have a hardware release for you.
Back in January I hinted that I was looking at using 3D shapes exported from Virt-a-Mate. Well, I finally got around to putting some serious design time into one of those concepts and this is the result.
This is a receiver for the SR6 that incorporates a contoured female abdomen shape in a strong but lightweight structure. These are probably some of the most intricate parts I have ever designed. The shape is imported from a VaM model and smoothed out using witchcraft. This structure is in 3 parts: 1x base and 2x wings (L&R are symmetrical so use your slicer's mirror function). You will need 8x M3x10 bolts and 4x M3 nuts for assembly.
This design is an experiment. I have been thinking about future machines and it strikes me that a machine up from the SR6 is something akin to an animatronic pair of filled cycle shorts that straddles and rides the user. Could such a machine be home built? This is a first attempt to explore some of the tech that might be needed.
Feedback is very welcome. I plan to talk more about this concept in an upcoming livestream, so stay tuned for that.
In the meantime, have fun!

I did not at the time, and the main reason was that it wasn't compatible with the twist mechanism. With T-wist 5 it should be possible, but it's not on my radar currently. SSR1 Beta is going to be occupying me for a while.

MAx ever make this contour case for use with the twist?

Do share. It’s always cool to see what people come up with. Get on discord if you aren’t already.

I don’t think that the OSR2 is strong enough to take the weight.

Maybe u can make one for the osr2 :)
Looks amazing, I'm working on a receiver prototype myself (I'll share soon)
