3D Printed Vibrating Saddle

Description

For those who do not know what a Sybian is they are a vibrating platform used in the Kink environment. Mostly they just work but are not an inexpensive device. Using what I had learnt from the many repairs I have done on both the originals and the clones I decided to design my own platform.

Most of the mechanism was printed on a 3D printer, the silicone appliance for the top was cast using a 3D printed split mold, the bearings, main shaft. retainers were made from Steel and Brass. The motor came from a 14.4V Cordless Drill.

Speed controller was made using a IRF540, Opto Isolator and an Arduino Mini Pro.
There are two modes, the first being free running where the unit outputs a constant vibration, the second mode is a kind of ramp mode where the motor is ramped up and down to level set by the pot on the pendant .

First Test of the Mechanisim

Final Test with the new pendant and mode settings

Just about all the 3D design was done in Fusion 360.

it's possible view the video?

Are you sure? yes | no

I hope this project hasn't been abandoned and the STL files lost.

Are you sure? yes | no

hello, can someone please explain how the motion and power gets transferred here to me ? I just see a shaft and multiple bearings so i Dont see how anything of the upper Bart would move. Is there a execntric Part i an missing ?

Are you sure? yes | no

On the left (in the first picture) you can see a smaller pulley (brass) and that connects to the larger 3D printed pulley on the left of the motor I excluded the belt in the picture.

What about the STL files..? Are they available?

Where do you get the cam shaft for this project?

Are you sure? yes | no

Boris van Galvin wrote 02/09/2022 at 20:28

I made my one up. well have actually made a few now using a lathe and a spacer to offset the shaft ends. I have heard of a few people fabricating it using bolts but never heard back as to how well this worked.
