Electric male masturbator

Six Months in the Making! How to Build a DIY Mount for The Handy 2


How to install the prototype mounting bracket | How to install the improved fastener | Attached to a monitor arm | High-load fixed force test |

It was a long process! Including the initial planning stages, I spent nearly half a year creating Handy2 mounting bracket. The first handy bracket was very easy to make, so I thought this Handy2 wouldn't take that long either, but once I started, I encountered a mountain of challenges.

First of all, while it may have been intended to be stylish, its unique shape is problematic. At first glance, it looks square and easy to secure, but the corners are strangely rounded, the sides are recessed and have a large display, and to top it all off, the rear is a rounded, curved shape. If you want to secure it without obscuring the status display, which is its main selling point, there are few places to hold it down, making it a very troublesome design.

The design is so troublesome that you might think the person who designed it did it on purpose to prevent it from being fixed in place. The official statement confidently claims that it can be easily attached to a camera arm by providing two screw holes, but with such a thin arm, it would be impossible to attach anything other than the lightweight male masturbator .

They claim it's easy to operate with one hand and that you can hold it in your hand, but that's not the case. This time, the attachment is magnetic, so if you attach the large male masturbator and try to hold it in your hand, it will shake from side to side and the entire holder will fall off in no time.

That's right, this model absolutely requires mounting; you can't enjoy it at all if you hold it by hand. Without mounting it, you're only experiencing a tenth of Handy2 's charm. Despite this, the official manufacturer didn't consider the possibility of attaching the larger male masturbator , and they haven't provided a sturdy mounting device. To enjoy the larger male masturbator , which is probably what everyone who bought the Handy2 wants to do, you have to prepare a sturdy mounting device yourself. Well, that hasn't changed since the first generation model.

Therefore, as someone who hopes that Handy2 will become more popular in Japan, it was my urgent task to complete the mounting kit recipe for Handy2 and spread it to the world, however small my contribution may be.

The creation of the mounting hardware proved extremely difficult, but a prototype was finally completed around the beginning of March. However, during testing, it was discovered that the rear of the main unit shifted slightly under heavy load. Therefore, we hastily decided to attach a retaining bracket, and the device was completed for the time being.

Even though it's a prototype, it could be made practical with improvements, but I've started to get bothered by the clamp attached to the rear. I'm starting to wonder if it's really suitable for everyone with something that looks so complicated attached.

I realized that to make it accessible to everyone, it needed to be simpler and easier to make, so I went through further trial and error and finally arrived at an improved version that simplified the design while maintaining its strength.

Ideally, I should only introduce the improved version, but I'm also attached to the prototype, and it's fully functional, so please take a look. I thought that even just showing what happened during the production process might give someone some hint, so I decided to release both the prototype and the improved version.

For those who want to start using Handy2 , I've carefully designed both an improved version that's as easy to build as possible and a prototype that's the result of trial and error. I hope that both will give someone a hint to enjoy Handy2 even more.

Tools needed for making fasteners

Electric screwdriver and drill bit set

An electric screwdriver is a necessary tool for both the prototype and the improved version. Of course, an impact driver is also acceptable. Ideally, the goal was to assemble it with just one screwdriver, but since embedding threaded inserts is absolutely essential, an electric screwdriver and drill bits are required.

For this type of work, a power drill costing around 3000 yen should be sufficient, but you'll be less likely to regret it if you choose drill bits that are known for their sharpness. The drill bits that come with a power drill are usually only thin ones, so you'll need to buy a separate set of drill bits. Woodworking bits with thin, pointed tips are the easiest to use.

For the prototype, I used 10mm, 6mm, and 5mm drill bits, and for the improved version, I used 6mm and 5mm drill bits to drill pilot holes for the threaded inserts.

Image of a 20mm countersunk wood screw from Daiso.

I'll also introduce the screws I used. I used 20mm countersunk wood screws from Daiso, as the board thickness was 9mm x 2 = 18mm plus the thickness of the metal fittings. I also prepared a separate wood screw set, but I didn't end up using it.

Prototype manufacturing procedure for the fixing device for Handy2

An image showing the cutting lengths for two pieces of Daiso lumber.

For the prototype, I used wood I bought at Daiso. I prepared two pieces measuring 15.75 in (40 cm) x 4.72 in (12 cm) x 9mm thick and cut them to the dimensions shown in the image above.

Any adhesive will do, but I think an ultra-multipurpose adhesive would be best. As a precaution, attach anti-slip mats to the inside of two of the small L-shaped brackets and to the outside of the other two. Leave them like this for a day.

An image showing cut pieces of wood from Daiso glued together and secured with clamps.

I glued the cut pieces of wood together with wood glue and secured them with clamps, then left them for a day. I used all the clamps I had at home, but you really don't need this many. If you don't have clamps, just place a heavy weight on top.

An image showing cut pieces of wood from Daiso glued together with wood glue.

Since it's a board from Daiso, there are some small chipped parts, but I was able to attach them together perfectly.

All-purpose brush for water-based varnish on wood, from Daiso.

Since we're at it, let's apply varnish to the wood. You can skip this step, but if you have the time, give it a try! It also has the added benefit of providing some waterproofing to the wood surface, so if lotion drips on it, it won't soak in.

I used water-based varnish (milky white) and a brush from Daiso.

Image of wood purchased from Daiso after being coated with water-based varnish and then dried.

I applied three coats, one hour apart. After sanding the surface with fine-grit sandpaper, it became smooth. It has a nice texture, and I'm personally satisfied with the result.

Next, before proceeding, it's easier to embed the threaded inserts for VESA mounting while this board is still glued in place, so do that first.HereI recommend finishing it.

This image shows the L-shaped bracket with a non-slip mat attached, and then holes made using scissors and an awl.

Using scissors and an awl, I made a hole in the center of the large L-shaped bracket that I had attached. I used scissors and an awl for the prototype, but it's easier to make a clean hole using a soldering iron.

Image of L-shaped brackets screwed onto Daiso wood.

I screwed a large L-shaped bracket to the back of the mounting bracket. I positioned it so that it was exactly in the middle.

Once fixed in place, it will become a front guard, and the screw holes on the front of the main unit will align with the central opening, allowing it to be secured with 1/4-inch screws.

Attach two small L-shaped brackets, each with non-slip material on the inside, to the brackets with screws at a slight angle as shown in the image. This angle is determined by placing the front of the main unit against it and ensuring a snug fit.

This image shows two pieces of scrap wood, 9mm thick and measuring 2.76 in (7 cm) x 2.17 in (5.5 cm), glued together to mark the holes for attaching L-shaped brackets.

Now we'll make the clamp part. Cut out two 2.76 in (7 cm) x 2.17 in (5.5 cm) pieces of scrap wood and glue them together with wood glue. Place the L-shaped bracket on the wood and mark the hole positions with a pencil.

The scrap wood is sandwiched between two L-shaped brackets and secured with screws, and a threaded insert is embedded in the center hole.

Use two L-shaped brackets to screw in the board with the threaded inserts attached. Since you're screwing from both sides, there's a high chance of the screws interfering with each other, so although the image shows four screws, it's safer to only secure it diagonally. (On the opposite side, screw in the diagonal on the side where the screws won't interfere.)

This shows Handy2 mounting bracket with two L-shaped clamp bases screwed to the rear.

Attach the completed clamp base as shown in the image. I screwed it in so that the tip of the metal fitting was right at the edge of the 11.81 in (30 cm) board.

The front is secured by tightening a quarter-inch screw, and the main body can be clamped and tightened from the rear. However, be careful not to overtighten, as this may damage the main body.

This image shows the position where the mounting bracket for Handy2 moves due to vibration when attached to a monitor arm.

I thought this would secure it perfectly, but when I tested it, I discovered that the rear of the unit moves in the direction of the arrow at high speeds.

This shows a hand-bent cable attached to the rear of the mounting bracket for Handy2

Therefore, I ultimately gave up on using clamps alone for fastening and decided to use reinforcement brackets in addition.The following itemsI've written about it in more detail there, so please take a look.

This is 9mm thick softwood plywood that I had cut at a home improvement store.HerePlease take a look.

The opposite side had a knot like this, so I decided to use that side as the mating surface and glue it in place to hide it.

I glued it with wood glue and let it dry for a day. I didn't use all the clamps this time. I think this is just right.

Image of water-based varnish and brush for applying to softwood plywood.

After gluing, I became hooked on varnishing, so this time, just like with the prototype, I applied Daiso's water-based milky white varnish. I applied three coats. As for the smell, there was almost no smell while applying it or after it dried.

As expected from having the wood cut at the shop, the pieces are perfectly aligned. It's not something that requires that level of precision, but it's nice when everything is neatly arranged.

Image showing the L-shaped bracket being sanded down in preparation for attaching a non-slip mat.

Before gluing the non-slip mat in place, I roughened the surface with sandpaper to prepare it for adhesion.

A large L-shaped bracket with a non-slip mat attached and a screw hole drilled in the center.

I drilled a hole in the center screw hole of the large L-shaped bracket. Since the anti-slip mat attached is rubber, it was easier to melt it with a soldering iron to make the hole. However, the smell is very strong, so I think you should ventilate well and wear a mask. For me, who has become accustomed to melting male masturbator many times, it was a familiar smell.

Two medium-sized L-shaped brackets are shown crossing vertically.

Attach the two L-shaped brackets perpendicularly, making sure the holes align perfectly, and then glue them together.

Installation procedure for retaining clips

I attached the bracket that secures the rear of Handy2 to the mounting bracket, but before that, I checked to see how far the area would extend without interfering with the holder.

Image showing the zone that does not come into contact with the holder of Handy2

After investigating, I found that the safe zone is the red area, and there is a fair amount of space in front (about the width of one finger), but there is only about half that much space behind.

What I want you to pay attention to is that the entire groove at the rear doesn't make contact; there's a small zone above the groove where it doesn't. This tiny space is the key to attaching the retaining clip.

The difference in holding power with and without the retaining clips is significant, so let's carefully attach the retaining clips right at the edge!

This shows an 80mm pipe strap being bent by hand with needle-nose pliers.

The first method involves bending an 80mm pipe strap with needle-nose pliers. Shape it so that the top is as straight as possible.

Image showing the rear of Handy2 secured with a stainless steel bent plate bracket.

Since adjusting the bend of the pipe strap was a bit difficult, I'll also introduce another method. We'll use a stainless steel hand-bent saddle fitting.

This stainless steel plate is easy to bend, making it easy to create a shape that fits snugly to the rear of Handy2 . There were other plates that bent nicely as well, and both were about the same hardness, but I didn't use them because the holes were difficult to secure the screws into.

Image showing drilling pilot holes for VESA mounting in the base of the mounting bracket and adjusting the depth of the drill bit.

I attached all the mounting hardware first and then drilled the VESA mounting holes, but I later realized it would have been easier to finish it before anything was attached. However, it's not impossible, it's just more difficult with the hardware in place, so don't worry! (Though I don't recommend it.)

First, we'll mark the position of the first hole. Apparently, if you have a drill bit that can hit the center in one go, you won't miss the mark, but since I don't have one, I'll carefully mark the center with an awl.

I've attached a drill stopper to prevent the drill from going all the way through. Masking tape would also work.

Image showing the device being secured to a VESA mount with knurled screws.

After drilling the first hole and embedding the M5 threaded insert, tighten it with a knurled screw. I think it's less likely to shift if you determine the position of the second hole in that state. Next, I drilled the holes diagonally opposite each other.

The process of embedding the threaded insert nuts.

Tighten the M5 threaded insert nuts with a hex wrench. Also, add some wood glue.

These are the sizes of the threaded inserts and the drill bits used to make the pilot holes.

For fastening bolts, knurled bolts are recommended if you frequently need to remove them, while hex socket bolts with washers are recommended if you plan to leave them in place. Knurled bolts offer sufficient strength, but hex socket bolts provide a more secure fastening.

How to procure timber

The Daiso lumber I used for the prototype was from my existing stock, so I had to go buy more wood to make the improved version.

However, after visiting several Daiso stores, I couldn't find the lumber I was looking for anywhere. Could it be that there's a nationwide shortage of supply? So, as an alternative way to procure wood, I decided to try going to a home improvement store.

I've been interested in free cutting for a while now.

Images of many cut pieces of lumber displayed on shelves at a home improvement store.

As you'd expect from a home improvement store, there are tons of neatly cut boards lying around. However, this time, I need boards that are 9mm thick, otherwise some parts won't be compatible with the prototype, so I have to find some 9mm thick boards.

I searched around for a while, but all I could find were expensive planks costing around 3500 yen. So I decided to ask a store clerk...

Image of a poster showing the price of 9mm thick domestic softwood plywood sold at a home improvement store.

"Yes, we have it!" they said, and showed me this board. Looking at the price, it's around 1300 yen, which is a reasonable price.

A large stack of softwood plywood inside a home improvement store.

Wow, it's this big! It looks like this is the price for just one sheet. It's a plywood sheet that looks like it's about the size of one tatami mat.

By the way, if you do the math, one sheet is big enough to make about 20 sets for this purpose lol

A close-up image of stacked softwood plywood.

I thought to myself, "I don't need this much," but when I asked, "Could you cut this for me?", they replied, "Sure." Apparently, they'll even throw away the excess.

When I apologized for having a large amount of leftover lumber, they readily agreed, saying, "That's perfectly fine, a contractor will come and pick it up, so there's no problem."

The top of the board was warped, so they let me flip over several boards and choose the nicer one. Amazing service!

Image of a receipt from a home improvement store: softwood plywood for 1298 yen, 4 cuts for 132 yen.

As for the price, the lumber cost 1298 yen, and the four cuts cost 132 yen, for a total of 1430 yen, which is a very reasonable price!

But there's one thing I regret a little: I should have paid an extra 132 yen and gotten two sets of hair cut. It's reassuring to have a spare, after all. It was my first time getting a free haircut, so I didn't think that far ahead.

According to the staff, if you register for the app, the first 10 cuts are free, so if you're using the service for the first time, be sure to register for the app and get two sets for free!

The boards they cut were, as expected from a professional, beautifully cut with clean, even edges, making the assembly process a pleasure! I would definitely recommend this service and would like to use it again in the future.

Mounting complete! Here's a picture of Handy2 mounted on a monitor arm.

The monitor arm I purchased this time is a pole-type arm, and it's an inexpensive model that can sometimes be found for under 3000 yen during sales. Despite the low price, it seems to be quite well-made and has minimal vibration. What I liked most was that the clamp is very secure and doesn't budge at all, even without using any auxiliary brackets.

I chose the column-type monitor arm because it's supposed to be more resistant to vibrations than one without a support. I'm not sure how much stronger it actually is, though. I actually bought another monitor arm, but that one was completely useless. It was wobbly and unusable for this purpose.

I'm finally able to confidently introduce an improved mounting system to everyone, so I'd like to share it with you right away. The VESA mount is secured with hexagonal head bolts. Washers are also included, so it can be tightened very securely.

This is the monitor arm I bought from New Balance. Just kidding, it seems to be from a manufacturer called NB ERGONOMIC. The first joint of the arm is detachable. However, the VESA mount cannot be removed from the arm. I would have preferred a type where only the VESA mount could be removed.

The monitor arm is attached to the desk.

It can be mounted using either a clamp or a grommet. It is compatible with tabletops with a thickness of approximately 10 to 50 mm.

The image shows the monitor arm's mounting point being tightened with an Allen wrench.

Reattach the first joint arm that you had removed, and then tighten the screw at the base with the included hex wrench to secure it.

This shows the monitor arm's flip-up adjustment mechanism being adjusted with an Allen wrench.

The upward force can be adjusted by tightening the screw at the base of the first joint with the included hex wrench.

The angle adjustment part at the base of the VESA mount can also be adjusted using an Allen wrench to change its stiffness.

The arm is lowered all the way to the bottom of the support column. There's actually a ring part to prevent the arm from falling, but I've lowered it all the way to the base without attaching that either. Doing so allows me to lower the arm this far.

Regarding the noise level of Handy2 , it only seems quiet when used with a low-load, light-duty male masturbator like the official male masturbator .

Like me and many others, if you're using it to heavily utilize the large male masturbator , even version 2 will be noisy. The clicking sound that was present in the first generation is still present in version 2 and occurs under heavy load with the heavy male masturbator .

Of course, if you're driving a heavy male masturbator into the ground with a lot of force, it's going to make a clanging sound. I think this is an inherent characteristic of out-piston type engines, not just handy .

So, even though it's quieter, if you're using the large male masturbator and moving it around a lot, it will still make noise, so you shouldn't have overly high expectations. If you're looking for quietness, I recommend using noise-canceling headphones for a more immersive experience.

I don't think anyone else has their head tilted this far back, but this is how far you can tilt it to its limit.

If you have an electric height-adjustable desk, I highly recommend raising the height and working while standing. I've recently become really hooked on working while standing.

What I personally appreciate most about upgrading to version 2 is the increased stroke length. The long stroke feels incredibly good! The maximum stroke was 4.33 in (11 cm) for the original model, and 4.92 in (12.5 cm) for Handy2 , so it's increased by 0.59 in (1.5 cm). I think this difference is bigger than you might expect.

The image shows Handy2 attached to a monitor arm, with the mounting bracket folded and headphones hanging from it.

Since the holder part is detachable in this model, you might be able to attach just the main unit to the arm, fold it up, and move it to the side, and pass it off as some kind of audio device.
