WI'd recommend tapping them to M6
GYes, M6 screws. I used flat hex head bolts
GAnything taller head may start running into the belt. I also added an idler bearing for belt tension on the upper forward bolt of the pitch motor. I can add pics and details after work when I get home if anybody wants
TI’d like to see how you did it. I’ve got my gimbal made and moving on to the housing. I think all the bases are modeled for the 57 series motors so I am looking into how to implement the 86 series.
GOh, the 86 series. Sorry, I didn't read that correctly. I have the 57s
GIt should just take a cad adjustment and bigger hole pattern. You will however run into interference with the gimbal arms and the roll motor. My 57 motor hits the gimbal, but it ends up hitting past where the end stops are so it's fine.
GThe 86s might need some cad readjustment and different belts
TWhich part does the gimbal hit? I’ve got an idea how I want to modify it. Just getting ready to start on modeling it. I’m thinking v-slot extrusion frame with printed panels.
GThe lower arms of the gimbal arm at full throw. Even the 57 motors have bigger cases than the basic cad file case has, but it's not enough to cause problems
WI used M5 hex bolts with a lock nut on the back.
MThe threads in the motor body are M6 so I'm using M6 screws going through through-holes.
TSounds good, mine aren’t tapped but I can tap them.
MScratch that I have the 57xxx motors not the 86's
WDrilled to 6mm and have an m6 bolt with nyloc nut on it.
TThanks for all the replies everyone, lots of good options.
Knewb question - just got my Rhino base! Super impressed so far.
How does one load a stick profile? IE I have a Virpil Alpha grip, and the buttons are acting... odd. I assume that's because I need to load a profile for that specific stick? All the buttons seem to register as double presses...
Update:
Plugged in my old warthog stick and it's fine, thankfully. I'll use it for now, but if anybody has any ideas how to get the Alpha to behave, I'd appreciate it.
UPDATE2: Nevermind - I'm an idiot. I was looking for the stick profile on the web app/not the software. Got it now!
UPDATE3: Where has this been all my life? WOW... simply blown away!

After powering up my base it no longer shows in the game device list. The Google Chrome popup says
I've tried disconnecting USB and power at the base then reconnecting after a delay of around 30 seconds. Also, multiple USB2 and USB3 ports, both direct to the motherboard and on powered hubs. But, all with the same result.

RNo change after rebooting the PC.
Anti-cogging is working (gimble is smooth when emergency stop is out), no spring forces are present and the base does not show in the configuration app.

WHey, that's strange - DM'd
RIssue resolved in double-quick time!
Thanks for your time @walmis , really appreciate everything you've done for the flight sim community with this project. Great work!

Aso i've noticed a general issue that happens sometimes, and I am not sure how to repro it, but basically it seems that at times the configuration app just loses the ability to get telemetry from the device, everything still appears to work fine, i can apply effects and all that, and games are fine, but in the configuration app i can't see the telemetry data, and i have to basically fully unplug the rhino
Aand plug it back in to get the telemetry data
Aby telemetry, i mean the output you see here:
WInteresting 
Does it happen often?
Does it happen often?WAnd as I understand correctly you can apply config and read it back?
AI’d say it happens a decent amount yeah, I think usually after using the emergency switch (I generally use that when I pause to go get up and do something)
AEverything appears to function normally though
WSo it's reproducible until you restart the controller, I mean restarting the GUI doesn't fix it.
AYeah, rebooting the config tool doesn’t fix
ASorry, shoulda said that
A(Feels like one of those annoying bugs you can never repro, but analyzing the the code you find it’s a possible state, but logically should never happen 
)
)
Sare you connecting to a motherboard usb? is your cpu amd?
ANope, connected to a powered hub. And nope, Intel system. To be clear though, nothing else about the device isn’t working, it seems to just be a software/firmware bug between the device and the config app
Ais it bad for a motor to get up to 60c? Just after a play session I noticed temp_y at 60, and temp_x around 37
WIt's normal after intense load
Agtk! just wanted to make sure it was expected
VAny recommended print settings for the throw limiter? Infill etc?
RSo I just got my Rhino kit running. Still a newb when it comes to the software. Is there a way to globally tune tune down the X spring force? It seems like whatever values done at the effects tab get overwritten by programs such as DCS. Should I be using TelemFFB?
WYes, the sliders in the Settings tab adjust global strengths
RRight, but I specifically want to tune down the X axis of the spring force, which I think the Settings tab doesn't have right?
SHi Walmis. Just got my Rhino and am testing it. Very impressed by the build quality and ease of setup so far. I have a question though. I have a Virpil T50 grip attached and I can’t seem to make it recognize the analog brake axis. (Pinky lever). Any ideas? I tried the windows USB controller calibration but it doesn’t seem to want to calibrate that axis
MI think mine just worked when i used the axis assignment in dcs
WHi, you need to activate the VPC T-50 profile in the VPforce configurator and calibrate it there too.
W
SAh. Didn’t see that. Thanks so much for the quick reply! It’s working great now
Rgetting an error message for the end stop setting. "Motor X: Fault_Unexpected_D_Current" any help?
WAhh, protection kicking in. I'll tweak the firmware tomorrow.
Rthank you. also i'm getting an input on button one whenever i'm moving the stick from one extreme to the other. would this be on my end?
Rif i hold button 1 down and move the stick it switches to a different button
RHnmm, I'm not getting any analog axis on the F-16 WinWing grip. The grip type is set to WinWing adapter, and the buttons all work. But none of the analog axis is working. When set to debug mode, the last 9 bits are always 00. Is there something else in the setting I need to set?
