Gonna revive this, because I'm currently building an OSR2+. Gotta ask what servos are you using?
I tried looking for best cost/quality digital servos, and ended up with FEETECH Fi7635M. Seems holding up so far after 2-3 months of use, although they are quite loud, but that's probably expected for this price, quieter servos would be at least 2 times as expensive.
How have they been holding up so far? Would appreciate knowing if you kept them or moved onto something else?
I don't remember exactly how much, but it was around 80 ish use for mine. It would have been even cheaper had I used the cheaper better board option. The toy you end up putting in it will most likely cost more than the machine build.
Still working fine, on max volume with noise cancelling headphones you can barely hear them. Though if you have roommates or something, they would definitely hear it.
Appreciate the video and reply, seems to be working pretty quietly too! I had a similar idea of just using some mic arm lol. and thats really good to hear. I currently own a handy so getting more "output" than only one axis is something i'm looking for, and from what it sounds like it, might be worth it! however as another user commented there just isn't that many multi-axis scripts out there.
Thats actually a good way to put it. I'm willing to put in some time to learn how to script for multi-axis, but its definitely a drop in the ocean compared to the amount of (fun)scripts that exist for other toys. Also, since I already have a handy, I am kind of tired of the single axis movement, but if the build cost of the OSR6 isnt too bad, it might be a fun project to take on. Thanks for the reply.
What printer did you get yourself? If it's a hobby you enjoy, and can afford one, I highly recommend a bambu x-1. Its pricey, but totally worth it. Plus, if you if you do the paper work to become a home based business the printer and all your filament is a tax write off. :)
Since the twist doesn't need to be very powerful, cheap $30 servos will do. At most I would check that the frequency matches between the other sets
