Hello I’m wondering if anybody is selling their design using the diy motor kit
PHey m8 I can't say for sure but I haven't seen anyone asking money for the diy design plans/files, though I think ppl were working on offering diy kits to go with the motor kits from vpforce. Check out #
showcase & #
diy-builds for the ppl that have made their own & ask if they have plans/files.

GThanks man
TAnother Kiwi !
FWhat is that extention made of? Is it a custom or a readily available part?
F@walmis I read that the VKB adapter has 6 set screws to connect it to a DIY extension solution, is this correct and if so, where would they be located? And also, if one were to use tubes to mount the adapter, what would be a recommended inner diameter for these? Thanks.
Rfrom ebay. its al.
FAny idea what it might be called?
FHmm I think i found it
Fthank you
NWhat @PiNKMuD said but there are designs pinned in this Discord in the diy-builds channel. Links to the necessary files point to Github repositories. There you can find the link to pull it all down as a zip file.
@Subsonic (Protomaker) posted this one: https://github.com/protomaker964/Rhino-FFB-Clone-3D_Printed/tree/main
And @Number481 posted this about adding force feedback to pedals: https://github.com/Number481/VirpilACE-VPForce-Mod
@Subsonic (Protomaker) - How is your 3D printed version holding up? Nice looking work!

Gthanks! very kind of you
NThe one Subsonic posted looks exactly like the full Rhino but I haven’t really dug into it yet.
Gill have a look
S3d Printed unit is holding up just fine. No creaks or tweaks.
Use Carbon PETG for the gimbal and stick assembly and should work fine and last a long time.

SIt is essentially, with a few minor differences such as the gimbal/stick and fan locations.
NThanks for that, Subsonic! And thanks for posting the files!
SMost welcome...enjoy!
DYeah, there are a few of you

WI don't really understand what you're asking here 
WVPforce VKB adapter looks like this.
FHow would I attemt to attach this to something? I believe it has threads on the bottom, I could try to 3d print something that fits. Is there another method that was included or was that a solution by a diy'er? Also, what is the outer diameter of the plastic part? Ive found the dia of the metal one but not the plastic. Or do you have a step file I could use?
SIf i put myself on the preorder list i can cancel anytime right? Not 100% yet if i wanna spend this much and 1 year would give me a bit time to think about it
WYeah, sure
WIt has a standard thread M36x2 like Virpil, Thrustmaster, WinWing uses
FThanks, Ill see if I can use that
MSorry man, I made my own custom Virpil extension. It’s not the rhino one. I CNC’d it from metal.
MI think I confused you about that.
Sput in my preorder for a rhino see ya guys in a year 
FAh yeah thats where it probably comes from. All good in the end though, thanks for the info you gave
MI don’t use it, if you are interested you can have it
FUnfortunately im in EU so shipping would be thing, plus im planning on using the vkb grip since it has the right hats/ministicks I wanna use
FI think Ill be able to use my schools' workshop to thread a tube, should be able to get things done that way
FThough on the other hand, what would the cost be for shipping to the NL?
FCause I should be able to use it to mount the vkb adapter
SAnyone who has tips for grips? Today o have x56 so I would like something with a similar layout. Is the thrustmaster warthog grip a good choice or should I go for something else? 
BYou can get significant more functionality from a virpil grip for about the same price.
The TM grip I'd only consider good if you want to sim the a10.
Maybe the f16, but that use the one gimbal system the rhino doesn't simulate.

PHi, I filled out the pre-order form on 8/20/23 and I got a confirmation email showing the information that I entered but I didn’t get a pre-order # or anything that looked like an official confirmation. Is there a way that I can confirm if I’m on the list?

It could take a few days before you get assigned a number.

SI love the metal feeling from the TM Grip - don't like plastic
Ghi guys, how long is the wait for the motors?
BI agree. I had an Alpha, and then an Alpha Prime, but sold both and have gone back to the TMW grip on the Rhino. I just don't like the buttons/hats feel on the Virpil grips. The TMW's are more positive; I have a real grip from the 60s and the TMW's controls feel similar, albeit not quite as hard to push. I do miss the additional hats/buttons though.
FI'm using the Rhino with the TM warthog stick and a 50mm extension to be able to angle it. It's perfect.
