Getting there

>>36346 Good job!

>>36346 This looks like some very solid progress, Kiwi. GG.

>>36348 >>36349 Thanks! Still learning but, I know it's getting close to done.

>>36579 That's looking really good now, Anon. I've been banging a number of ideas around about cheap actuation solutions that will fit into the volume available for each hip/upper_thigh. For some reason (maybe b/c thinking about pinching) I'm finding this render that NoidoDev posted ( >>36561 ) inspiring rn. I'm also picturing a partial inner ball to rest inside the visible outer ball that could allow for nearby linear actuators to rest inside the torso volume, w/o interfering with the needed major two servos per joint. This would allow for 3-axis movements, wouldn't over-complicate the mechanisms additionally, and would still provide good pinch-protection given those two constraints. When I pick up modelling, I'll diagram my ideas about this for everyone to brainstorm & critique together. <---> Looking forward to seeing what's coming next, Kiwi! Cheers. :^) Soon.

>>36346 >>36579 Great progress. I like it. At least with the imagined flesh suit on top of it. Though, the back in the last pic still looks a bit to bubbly for my taste, but okay. Anyways, I posted many of the pics on this thread on Reddit. If you mind, tell me. It's here: https://www.reddit.com/r/gynoidappreciation/comments/1iiqpgg/maidcom_project/

>>36609 Not quite sure I understand your idea. Could you provide a drawing? >>36646 I'm endeavoring to de-bubble her booty. Feel free to share anything I post anywhere. Heck, I'll freely share any model I still have with anyone that asks. I welcome distribution of anything related to MaidCom

>>36657 >I'm endeavoring to de-bubble her booty OH NO! I was looking and thinking,"Wow look at that booty", and now your going to debootie it. A crime.

>>39359 Nice!

>>39359 That's looking really refined now, Kiwi! GG. :^)

MaidCom's current design (151.5cm) compared to a 170cm European woman 3D scan. I'm currently optimizing her measurements to fit picrel outfit. Then comes optimizing for movement. I will have a doll prototype within the next month. It's insane how far away the current design is from where it began. Heaps of mistakes and learning over what feels like a lifetime has lead to this. I pray it's finally the one. (Arms and hair are from a Megumin game rip and are only present for a sense of how she'll look in clothes with hair. The arm will be the one from the previous design. The body is technically also that body, just poked and prodded into being mostly anatomically correct.)

>>39607 I'm excited to finally see it made physical! How will she articulate?

>>39607 I think this new design is fantastic. Very cute. Don't take this the wrong way but I think if you raised the height ever so slightly, 3 inches, it would cause you less "woke" trouble. As the average women's height is around 5"- 3". Robowaifu's are going to be attacked but if you can thwart them by saying it's average Women's height right off the bat then they can't play the pedo angle on you. If you make it smaller the criticism will be all about how you are a pedo. That's all anyone will talk about (they will make sure of that). Not saying you are, just I can see as their major attack angle. They will do anything to prop up the matriarchy. BTW Tor site is down.

>>39609 I disagree, they'll use that card no matter what. If it's not the height (which I doubt they'll follow the statistical average), it'll be the face, the not-obese design, the graceful femineity, or even just the anime design. I spend a lot of time on Twitter, partially for Galatea promotion, and I see these Twitter freaks in action. If it's cute, feminine, not obese, anime styled, then it's "diddy ahh blud frfr no cap" from pussywhipped zoomers and/or radical leftists. >BTW Tor site is down. That explains it! I felt like the Twilight Zone episode "Where is Everybody?" I thought maybe Chobitsu being on break meant everyone stopped posting as much. Or that Chobitsu really did make up the majority of posts.

>>39610 They'll use anything they can but cutting off one thing means less they can say. It's only 3" and cuts, or I think cuts off, a good deal of of avenues of criticism. If you're going to make it small why not 4 feet or 3.5 and save a lot of material. Well you know why, so why not add a few inches?

>>39611 Sure, but they're going to persist regardless, and it's only going to briefly slow them down, if at all. They have a set conclusion and will twist reality to get there. Like I said, there are many other factors that they would use. If the fact that there are objectively short adult women doesn't stop them, then some average isn't going to give them much pause. They simply hate all that is good and beautiful in the world. Conflict is inevitable. Keep in mind these are the people who identify with fictional demons. Ultimately, it is up to Kiwi.

>>39608 >Articulation Psuedo ball joints see >>36346 If you have any suggestions, I'm open. >>39609 She's 5 ft for me, you can add 3 inches anywhere you want them. As for the squawking of idiots, I take the same stance as Vance. "Woke" already died, it's barely on embers of life support. Even billionaires shoveling money into keeping it alive, can't make real people care. If you ignore them, they just go away. They have no power or conviction, just loud whining until the next thing. >>39610 Frfr, these nutters will harp on anything if they think it'll signal virtue (manipulate woman into feeling safe so they can prey on them.) I don't care about sick manipulative Ramons. I care about promoting a tool to promote health and well being for everyone like us. >>39611 Mate, you're fighting their battles for them right now. We already won, we just need to ignore them. >Why not 4ft tall? Simply because I want her to look nice in small woman's clothing. That, and 150cm is the legal height requirement for sex dolls here in New Zealand. I don't want a bloke to get in trouble because he gave her a jolly roggerin'.

>>39614 >If you have any suggestions, I'm open. -Make sure the prints are sturdy when you need to pop in them -You might want to do a test of the socket-ball to see if the gap gives you the friction you want >laws I don't know how those laws are worded, but I'm pretty sure I curtailed them by making an actual robot that looks like a robot. Idk, I live in America, so I'm not too familiar with the foreign laws. My robowaifu design ethos is "It's not a sex robot, it's a robot you can have sex with." >JD Vance quote Based.

>>39607 BTW I really like the waifu model you have. It's great.

I understand all the criticisms of making it 5'-3" but my basic stance is don't create friction when not needed and don't cut off your nose to spite your face. A lot of the reason "woke" is declining is they are such idiots. If it's average Women's height then they will "automatically" look even more idiotic for talking about it's height and any Women who hear them complain about the height that ARE average height will be offended. So you get free offense of the woke, from some Women, for nothing but 3". Use their own uninhibited woke bitchiness against them. As said aptly in the movie "The Jerk" "It’s a profit deal.” – Navin R. Johnson

Still trying to make her legs work.

>>41459 Good luck, Anon! Cheers. :^)

>>41459 Please examine the newest hip/waist design on this Optimus android, Kiwi: https://trashchan.xyz/robowaifu/thread/26.html#1296 It definitely seems to offer better flexibility/natural-gaits than before. Thoughts?

>>41952 >Optimus hip mechanism My jealousy is emence, particularly because of how powerful those actuators are. Moving like that requires heaps of power and precision. Something worth aspiring towards! I do see how principles related to where their DOFs are could benefit MaidCom. I'll need to 3D print similar to fully understand. I may post about it in the prototypes thread. Depends on what I have on my schedule coming up. The other MaidCom model was unable to be altered to reach my goal levels of flexibility, without looking weird. New model is closer to my ideal either way. I have given up on realistic anatomy, again.

>>42040 >Something worth aspiring towards! Absolutely. > I may post about it in the prototypes thread. Sounds excellent! >New model is closer to my ideal either way. She's looking really good now, Kiwi. Godspeed, Anon. Cheers. :^)

>>42040 Realistic anatomic has too many engineering constraints.

I know you had an idea for a really jank quantum computer using quartz. Could you give a brief overview?

>>42040 Interesting. How will the joints stay together?

>>42041 Made a quick model with cardboard and metal pins. Overall, I'm not a fan as it requires powerful waist servos. Still workshoping a different motion complex to lower adjacent inertia. Physics of levers is a blessing and curse in equal measure. >>42042 I need to tattoo that on my brain as I keep simplifying then adding anatomical details back. I get carried away and it's cost too many years. >>42043 Thought I only posted about that in MetaRonins server? Eitherway, it's more of a way to provide a cognitive system psuedo free will via quantum randomness. Which is the result of research into creating a psuedo soul and realizing that all information on such is just schizo magical thinking applied to RNG. TLDR; quarts is excellent for diy RNG that are useful, or stochastic generators if you're scamming VC. >>42046 My method for keeping joints together remains bolting servos to a frame of stiff enough rods. Haven't talked about that part for years. It's really getting to me how long I've been failing at this. It all seemed so easy when I thought I could just use pnuematics like some of the robots I've built for the assembly line. Not having access to a central compressor and the assurance of being bolted to reinforced concrete really through me on a wild goose hunt of learning how little I know. Printing another chest test. Hoping for a myrical

>>42359 Beautiful. Looking forward to the results, Anon. KEEP PRESSING FORWARD!

>>42363 She's a tad too small, I'm currently widening her body to better fill out clothing. Also, her breasts are 100% needed for dresses to look right.

>>42370 Very nice!

>>42370 On an interesting note, dirt cheap 15X3mm neodymium magnets are plenty strong enough to hold the two halves of her body together, and hold her dresses on her. I'm shocked how easy it is to use tiny magnets to "fix" anything. Glue was messy and fails easily, magnets are clean, reusable, and makes adjustments simple. Her chest would is sized at 22D by American standards. Which is unfortunately too small. I'm aiming for 32D with the update I'll be printing within a day. Due to its size, it'll likely take another day to be fully printed.

>>42370 >>42372 This looks excellent, Kiwi. Don't tweak too long! Christmastide is two months away... Really looking forward to seeing this alpha1 prototype finished. Cheers, Anon. :^)

>>42371 >>42376 Half of her new chest is rather promising, looks and more importantly, feels right with her white dress. In 5 to 6 hours, I should have an update on how it looks with her bobs, vital to fully understanding the fit.

>>42379 That's a gorgeous dress, Kiwi. Looking forward to it! :^)

>>42380 After printing one bob, it's clear she needs to be a little bigger

>>42381 Neat! I like how you can assemble bobs to the shoulder sections like that. MAGNETS, HOW DO THEY WORK!? Looking forward to the results Anon. Cheers. :^)

>>42381 >After printing one bob, it's clear she needs to be a little bigger Yeah bobs are weird like that. They look decent size when u print 'em but put a dress on and they look smol. I suppose that one of the reason bras are more shapely and not just designed to keep the bobs in place. TBH I find they get in the way when working on the robot bits, which is why I made SPUD's bobs magnetic (plus swapping out different bobs are easy)

>>42359 >My method for keeping joints together remains bolting servos to a frame of stiff enough rods. Haven't talked about that part for years. It's really getting to me how long I've been failing at this. It all seemed so easy when I thought I could just use pnuematics like some of the robots I've built for the assembly line. Not having access to a central compressor and the assurance of being bolted to reinforced concrete really through me on a wild goose hunt of learning how little I know. I see >>42370 >>42372 >>42379 >>42381 Looking beautiful! The magnets are a really good idea. For the clothes, you can have a binder clip hold them in the back. I call this the "Homer Simpson" Method >>42384 Magnetic boobs is a really good idea

>>42387 >For the clothes, you can have a binder clip hold them in the back. I call this the "Homer Simpson" Method Lol. This is probably a good idea. Eventually, many of us will need to master sewing & other, similar skills (like flattening 3D mesh shapes down to 2D planes cutouts).

@Kiwi >...and the assurance of being bolted to reinforced concrete really thr[ew] me on a wild goose hunt of learning how little I know. ( >>42359 ) Could we just have a mobile base that runs on tracks around the house for now? Cf.: https://trashchan.xyz/robowaifu/thread/26.html#1324 The torso could be removable *, and transferred down into a bipedal lower whenever that was comfy/romantic/etc. That way we can gain some reliable, consistent mobility; conceivably having a strong base to "bolt down" onto for 'robo-reach' work; and still have some cute waifu socializations -- all without needing to have functional bipedalism completely-solved in advance. --- * We could also choose to leave the entire waifu 'suspended' with such a system...kinda like an overhead gantry, but actually more like a mobile, articulated boom attached to the rail-traveling base unit.

>>42464 How about a heavy wheeled base? Like I do with Galatea, but far more robust? In High School, I was in a FIRST Robotics team, and the wheeled robots were reasonably heavy, and some teams even had pneumatic components. This would also be a golden opportunity, heavy batteries turn from a hindrance to yet another benefit.

>>42468 It seems a good idea, and in fact that's kind of the approach I'm pursuing ATM with the Cart Waifu idea. But this rail thing, while seemingly-cumbersome & restrictive at first, offers a lot of efficiencies for fixed installations (such as Anon's house), I think. >This would also be a golden opportunity, heavy batteries turn from a hindrance to yet another benefit. Exactly. True whether it's a Cart Waifu or a Rail Waifu as well. The primary point being here to give @Kiwi and others a reasonably stable base to work from. Cheers. :^)

>>42468 >I was in a FIRST Robotics team Neat! I watched several of the competitions on NASA TV. I always wished they had "BTS Specials" about the team's design & construction work. Nice going, GreerTech. Cheers. :^)

>>42382 Thanks! >>42384 I've made my piece with her chest. A major update was making her body thicker rather than wider. It's still not able to wear a normal bra but, I realized that's not essential. >>42387 >Homer Simpson hemming Heh, this was a brilliant game changer for me. I've come to accept that chasing human proportions is more pain than it's worth. Better to have a robot girl now that needs her dresses clipped to fit, than a robot that looks right in clothes years from now. >>42464 >Mobility base I'm fully intending to have her stand on a base/rely on a tail with wheels/skates. She's going to be highly modular. I'll be sure to ensure that everyone who wants to modify her will have good documentation and files to go off of. That outer frame will be hanging on an inner frame, only limits will be joint clearances. >>42468 >Like Galatea? A base similar to yours is likely going to be one of the first tried. Picrel is my current MaidCom design between a man of my proportions and a 160cm woman for reference. I've been putting heaps of work into optimizing her for mobility after learning from previous failures.

>>42778 Hi Kiwi! >this great design So exciting to see it, Anon. I hope you've finalized her design for now so she can be with you through Christmas this year. Cheers brother, we're all wishing you the best. :^) Forward!

>>42779 I can't wait for the trio of Gen 1 robowaifus; -Galatea -SPUD -MaidCom

>>42781 Agreed. There will be many more to come here on /robowaifu/ as well! :^) What a time to be alive!
