>>35554 Didn't know about this thread. I think this one feature would pave the way to wide adoption. Maybe something like Jlube and a auto-cleaning douche they make for dolls? Using Greertech's robovacwaifu, could have it move to home station, and then have wand next to home base, and maybe rig something to insert. But even if not automatic 100%, that would be self lubing for 20-30 times, and then you simply insert wand that's already next to base station ad it washes and dries itself. https://www.reddit.com/r/SexToys/comments/rcjmn0/tips_for_j_lube/ https://www.rosemarydoll.com/product/automatic-love-holes-cleaning-drying-douche-for-sex-doll/ Have to go through rest of this thread but sounds like some are already considering detachable strokers, so this would just make it slightly easier for about $125

Recently I was thinking a lot about the cost. Initial cost is no problem, but the cheapest way to keep the cost of cleaning down is to use a material that can be cleaned using only hot water instead of needing a cleaning solution. The only other recurring cost besides maintenance is lube. And running out of cleaner or lube could be a problem that lasts until both have been supplied. If a material could be used that is slippery enough when wet with just body-temperature water would be ideal, but as far as I can tell it may be possible with a very hydrophilic material that is still soft and flexible enough to use, but otherwise I'm drawing a complete blank. It doesn't help that the slippery-when-wet materials ChatGPT and other LLMs suggest are silicone, rubber, aluminum and steel, but if it were that easy nobody would be paying for lube.

I got here from dollforum so good thread to read. I always knew of robowaifu and followed threads but can't really code without AI so basically useless For those, they do sell autolube vagoos which sounds like it's just that jlube powder. They normally charge like $100 for it but you can just buy a can of the powder for $25 but haven't tried it. I also haven't tried the auto cleaning tool I posted, but was just thinking of what is already available for them. For something that requires no lube or powder and water only, I am not sure. I can say my silicone doll definitely requires more than water. It does have the auto-clamping\sucking feature that uses air hoses and I hooked that up to a potentiometer which was fun but pointless. The feature works better other ways.

>>36339 >For something that requires no lube or powder and water only, I am not sure. I can say my silicone doll definitely requires more than water. Yeah, it's tricky. While silicone as a material can be slippery when wet, the texture of the surface plays a major role, and a number of materials that I can find that are hydrophilic only are after some kind of treatment on the surface, which would eventually wear-off over time, especially if it's a flexible material.

>>36340 Yea, Qwen suggested Hyaluronic Acid Serum or Sodium Alginate as a Hydrogel layer or making silicon microchannels using lithography to hold water, but those will only be temporary and not sure if I trust that! The stuff doll makers are using lasts 20 times they say but less if you wash heavily. "The condensed lubricant formula loses effectiveness after each use and a single application of a water based lubricant can last up to 20 times."

>>36338 If this here is in general about self-cleaning and self-lubricating, then my way of thinking about it is that the waifu can drink things or might have alternative methods of taking in liquid. Then she can open internal tanks and let liquid run down through her vagoo. Maybe while internal mechanisms move the liquid around for a while before flushing it out. So, what's the big deal? We could use any drips of plant oil or whatever going into it. She could have a special mechanism for that. After use, it will be flushed out. The lubricant doesn't need to have special traits beyond needing to work, and not being harmful to the user or the silicone rubber. That said, if someone has water kefir (Tibicos), it might be a good idea to experiment with that. I don't have it right now, since mine died. Maybe the shredded crystals can be used for lubrication. It might even work to let them dry and then add some water to make it into something slippery. >Water kefir grains (also called tibicos) are small, gelatinous structures that contain a variety of bacteria and yeast. These grains are the source of beneficial microorganisms that will transform sugar water into a bubbly, probiotic drink. The context is, that one of my ideas is to use this anyways. Ideally the waifu would grow some of it inside of her and use it as one of the liquids going to her system to eliminate germs. In that case I was specifically thinking that the water kefir (the liquid) would be salvia for the mouth. It's basically real lemonade with some human friendly and editable microorganisms and also a bit of alcohol. This could help to keep germs down. Anyways, in that case we would have these crystals already. Maybe even inside the waifu. In case we have to many, there needs to be a small shredder and then they can be flushed out with cleaning liquid. Maybe they can be used as some kind of lubricant instead and be useful once more. Even if you don't want the whole salvia thing, it might still be worth it if you want something that grows inside and can be used as a lubricant. Having some special gel isn't necessary if we let her drink some water and maybe cleaning fluids to flush her system out when she's in the bathroom. I don't mind it being in the tub or shower, but if others do, the can put her on the bowl.

>>36459 its probably easier to kill everything than to manage a culture, that should be a quote i think embedding a uv led in clear silicon would be enough to sterilize the surface but yeah cleaning out debris and gunk requires a liquid, i think its just a question of finding something that doesnt destroy the silicon over time

>>36460 >easier to kill everything than to manage a culture I doubt that. The idea is doing both. Especially when it's close to impossible to keep some areas completely dry.

>>36464 from experience from making sourdough i know cultures are pretty damn sensitive, all it takes is the wrong acidity or temperature or water content or feeding intervals or too much alcohol/byproducts or getting rid of too much and the whole thing dies or gets taken over by something else and makes it smell like a dirty diaper or something nasty and its not theres any regularity to it where you can just follow a predictable plan, one day it may smell like apricot and then the next day it will smell like cheese with mold growing on top

>>36343 >Hyaluronic Acid I used this and it was great. I used jlube mixed with this and a pinch of borax. The borax kills and mold, fungus, etc. And it's just 20 mule team borax. I don't remember exactly what mix I used but I took notes and here's what they were, 1 tsp jlube this did not seem to be enough, too watery, 100mg Pure Hyaluronic Acid in powder form, one scoop from package = 1 heaping smidgen added 3 more smidgen Hyaluronic Acid 1/8 tsp borax(I don't think I used this much but maybe I did) 8oz boiling water Smidgen = 1/32 teaspoon I know this is rough and incomplete but, it's something and it works great. Used with a TPU Meiki No Syoumei 005 Zhang Xiao Yu)(it's unbelievable)onahole. I had a fleshlight before and it's completely worthless in comparison to the Meiki. You will not believe the water this, and think specifically the Hyaluronic Acid, will suck up. You will likely have to add more water over time. Now my understanding from reading long threads on DIY lube(I would link but they are gone) is that Klube is better because jlube has sugar in it. I can't say if true as I only have jlube and it works fine. One idea is that you could make a onahole from TPU and in the mold add a lot of small sticks like toothpick size. When inserted it would squeeze the holes down and they would be small. Lube could be forced through the holes but most of it washed out. You only have to make sure that you have some sort of additive to stop mold, fungus, etc. I used boric acid, and I read about something called Phenylpropanol but I haven't used it but heard good reports. https://incidecoder.com/ingredients/phenylpropanol

>>36510 Interesting. I was thinking of something similar and then also just hose attachment on TPU mold, so one tube could squeeze in the lube and other would be used to flush it out with water, so you have a mostly auto lube and cleaning device. The last mile is always the hardest though for complete automation

>>36519 Probably the simplest and easiest way for a somewhat smart waifu is to have it use a douche. A read about a guy who during covid and the great toilet paper hoarding came up with the bright idea to get a sprayer like used to spay dishes in the sink and he added a valve to the water supply on the toilet and made a spray bidet out of it. That would be ideal, cheap and easy. Lubrication could still be automatic. Grab her crotch and she lubricates or just tell her, get wet.

>>36521 Good idea. Self lubing via voice command or at certain detected times sounds much easier than the cleaning part. But if it's DIY, it can be part of the docking station so when it recharges it is also auto cleaning. If you only have to insert cleaning wand, the docking station can just have a decent servo cram it inside.

>>36330 >self-lubricating and self-cleaning orifices...trying to find a solid material that would be slippery to the touch with just water I maybe, possibly, have a solution to this. There's this video I've linked before because it's a super damn good composites video. This guy goes over a whole range a substances added to epoxy and what they can be used for,. If you want to ever do anything with any sort of composite or glue you really need to see it. In it he talks about "boron nitride cubic" an extremely hard material but it's super slippery. Now it happened to come to me that you could mix this with something like TPU, or Plastisol that I talked about here >>35259 (it's PVC but a jelly bear like consistency elastomer) And have a stretchy substance but with a good heavy mix of the boran notride on the surface have something slippery. I haven't tried this. I'm going by what I've been told but "if" this worked I could see it being a good material. Because B.N. is a mineral it would not rot or mold and PVC, is a stable material ,maybe this would be of some value. The boron nitride is used in cutting bits but what you would use would be a very fine power so no it would not cut you, I don't think. Where he talks about BN in the video is 27:52 but the whole video is stupendously good and will give you years of education in a very short time. In fact all his videos are good. He very meticulous but explains things very easily and completely on all sorts of subjects. From making alcohol to pulse jet engine carts. Super Strong Epoxy with Diamonds and More! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KjlyXKeo8c another on a composites in general I'll throw in it's good also. Easy Tricks Using Fiberglass Strengthening! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Pc-Sd_J26E As for self lubricating. You could mix your own mix, have the waifu swallow it. Provide suitable valves so that the swallowed mixture went to the right place. When you make your whoopie fun parts add in a bunch of toothpicks or small wires or whatever to make little channels. These would close up when the orifice is installed. Add a pump from the lube to these small holes and pump a few times. Instant autolube. For cleaning, powered douche or she could swallow water and drain it out below. Might be nice to do to rinse the mouth and other parts anyways. >=== -patch hotlink

>>36884 I thought my post went through sometime last week, but I guess it didn't. Years ago I saw a video by Gerald Pollack (possibly this video: https://youtu.be/p9UC0chfXcg ) and his university found out a hydrophilic material will create a layer of water on it that's thick enough to push water impurities away by up to a few millimeters if there's infrared light or a similar energy source acting on it. He patented a water filtration system using this, with no filters, with a water intake being split into more pure and more contaminated water output, which could be looped until the pure water is practically deionized. I wanted to use this for a filtration system in my waifu, every one of her holes would constantly be flushed with pure water for cleaning them and anything consumed by any of those hole would lead to a small digestion system to break-down anything and extract water from it, then piss-out the waste later. It would mostly just be tap water impurities and old cum, but if it can dehumidify the air for moisture then dust and other shit in the air taken in by breathing would also get filtered out. Obviously, none of that requires the hydrophilic material to be soft. But I figured if it could repel salts and other things a few mm from the surface with only nice, warm infrared light, then maybe if that layer of water could be thick and strong enough to reduce friction on contact with skin, and that really seems to be what lubrication is all about.

>>36934 >I thought my post went through sometime last week, but I guess it didn't. Hmm. In my experience here, Alogs' server has generally been quite reliable (apart from some human-error issues. :), and I'm sure we wouldn't have baleeted such a post. If you notice it happening again, please let us know in our current /meta thread. Thanks, Anon.

>>36935 I have to post from work, because my entire IP range at home is banned from here. And the Internet I have at work isn't reliable. So the issue is likely on my end.

>>36934 That is amazing. You know I think I had heard of something like this a long time ago but had totally forgotten. I have been trying to think of ways to purify water but forgot that. It might come in super handy. Thanks. I wonder if a resin 3D printer due to it's high resolution could print out these channels, or, print a mold on which you could cat the channel? I also wonder, haven't viewed the video downloading now, if it would separate viruses and bacteria? One thing I have looked at is ozone generation. Ozone wipes out everything, that I know of, making the water sterile.

>>36940 >I have to post from work, because my entire IP range at home is banned from here. Hmm. Must be global, we ourselves have no range bans active. You probably are yet another incidental victim of troonposters attacking this site. Apologies, Anon. Did you make an appeal?

>>36943 I got range banned some months back as well and have to post on my cell phone now. It’s very annoying. How do you appeal it?

>>36962 >How do you appeal it? In my experience, there's typically a form to fill out you see once upon notification of being banned. Never been banned here on Alogs though, so I'm not entirely-certain in this specific case. Barring that, there's an email address for Robi on the contact page. https://alogs.space/.static/pages/contact.html As with the other Anon, my apologies Artbyrobot.

>>36942 I'd like to make a filtration system using this method to purify my tap water, but the issue I just keep running into is the material used. He used nafion, which isn't very durable and absorbs water, and I don't really trust it. The only other materials I find are hydrophilic are a bitch to machine like borosilicate glass, need a coating of a chemical that will probably wear off over time, or need some kind of surface treatment I have no idea how to do. And until I find a material to use I can't come up with a good design, or at least one that isn't just the same as what Gerald Pollack already patented. But as for viruses and bacteria I think it can filter them out too, but for the sake of caution I was going to add a UV light for disinfection, although where the light is added in the design still depends on the material used. I could get much better use out of a UV light if I don't have to worry about it degrading plastic. I've also considered ozone nano bubbles, but my main concern with that was taking a shower. Ozone is great and all, I use it on my laundry, but if it's not agitated out of the water before it sprays out of my showerhead, then it might make breathing in the shower a bit unpleasant. I figured that a soft hydrophilic material was a higher priority than one that's easy to machine. (and I have other tech secrets I intend on keeping to myself until the time is right)

>>40898 I must be hyposexual, because spending PC money on a sex doll is insane to me. Now if it had other uses, or at least can be a girlfriend, then I can see possibly spending that level of money. Is GreerTech hyposexual or am I raising good points? It's up for other anons to decide (early adopters)

>>40899 Compare cooming on tap being able to pick any body part vs whatever youre using your graphics card for(chatbot rp or videogames more often than not)

>>40900 So yeah i am kind of mysoginist. I have an ex wife that hates me and i caught syphilis. It got cured but you know what im not a people person. Hell i dread going outside.

>>40901 Don't worry, I totally understand. I will say, about my point, if your sexbot is advanced as you want it to be, then easy tasks should be within its purview. More bang for your buck.

Since (unsurprisingly) the theme of the derailment-discussion turned in this direction, I'll relo these here rather than /meta or whatnot. Cheers.

>>40924 Asking and discussing if most people are willing to spend money on a certain type of robowaifu is business related, it's market research and surveying demand.

>>40927 Fair enough, but the posts relo'd here speak for themselves, I think. Business, Finance, Organizations, Operations, Logistics, & Legal offers quite a broad scope! Turning towards sexual degeneracy and personal issues (as is peteblanks' wont, in basically every thread on a long-enough timescale) doesn't fit into any of these categories, IMO.

>>40928 >Turning towards sexual degeneracy It might seem dirty on the surface, but it's a good question. How much will average people pay for a single-purpose robowaifu, aka a sexbot? My question on >>40920 wasn't rhetorical. Both me and peteblank made good points. >>40923 is basically like how the PS2 came with an inbuilt DVD player, in an age where DVD players were expensive, so it became the most bestselling console in history. It doesn't matter if you have the best and mostest perfectest consumer invention ever, if it doesn't have what the consumers want. Just ask Betamax... My personal viewpoint is that a robowaifu at those price ranges should be able to do other tasks and provide comfort. Most people don't want to pay those prices for basically a masturbation aid that would still give them post-nut clarity depression because of the lack of emotional intimacy, and like I said before, I could be wrong in my assessment. Marketing and consumer demand is a very important part of a robowaifu design meant for distribution and/or selling. I've said before that we will need an entrepreneurial spirit and mindset. If you want the thread to only be about logistics, maybe we can have a market research and consumer demand thread. As for peteblank, if you're reading this, my AI manual has prompts for an AI therapist and Couples Advisor

All im saying. So you want a coombot right. But turns out elon musk snd the chinese are not making them like you thought they would. So who are you going to turn to? Well theres that guy. Who else? Well let the auction begin.

I just had a naughty idea. It would probably be trivially easy to do a womb tattoo on a robowaifu.

>>42170 >womb tattoo I believe the proper word for it is "Tattooterus". And sure, on a robowaifu it can have tacky RGB lighting or even be a custom display if you want.

For some reason YouTube decided to recommend me this video on Chinese sex dolls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWbAWI_P5cQ (It knows too much)

>>42517 It's interesting to see how much is handmade. No wonder it's so expensive! If it was a less sexual* subject matter, it would considered fine art. *specifically non-performative heterosexual male sexuality

>>42520 >No wonder it's so expensive! Exactly my thoughts as well. I wonder if that is real human hair (there's a market for that), or some kind of fine synthetic. Regardless, I find that part of the operation (head assembly & decoration) particularly interesting. Must have taken quite a few iterations to develop the manufacturing techniques.
