The T-wist Beta-2

Added 2020-08-02 23:25:46 +0000 UTC

Hi Guys,

This month I'm pleased to say I am running on schedule and I am able to release the updated T-wist build files, complete with build instructions and parts list. The standard size servo definitely makes a huge difference in terms of noise, making the T-wist quieter than the main axis I reckon, which is a very desirable improvement.

I am very pleased with the build document. I always design these devices to be as simple to build as possible, and in the plans I go through the assembly step by step. My aim is to make these devices accessible to anybody who is willing to have a go at putting them together.

As always the build plans and 3D files are available to my $8 patrons.

This coming month I intend to do a bit more work on the software side of things. I reckon both my VaM plugin and my OSR2 firmware need a bit of attention to bring them up to date.

I may also look at getting another video recorded for my $2 patrons. I was thinking perhaps a show and tell of the T-wist, but do leave a comment and let me know if there's anything you'd like me to go over in more detail.

I'm also prototyping a couple of new hardware ideas, which I can hopefully share with you guys soon. Adding to the OSR2 has been fun, but I reckon at some point I am going to have to come up with a new machine altogether. Watch this space!

Thanks again to everyone who supports my work!
