PAh, thank you very much for the information. Can this be compared to the SLA method in terms of accuracy?
SIf mine ever wears out (which I doubt it will) I would probably go this route. It’s not too badly priced.
PThat's exactly right.
Fmaterial 326L is stainless steel type 326, and i added a pic of SLS working
FThe laser heats up the metal to where it melts and attaches to the layer under it
SSLS prints typically have a rough cast look to them; you'd probably need to make critical areas a bit oversize and machine them later, for any threads or bearing fits
PGood to know, thx.
Pjust got my Rhino today, super excited.. now to try to figure out what type of monstertech rig I need to build to mount this lol
Jjust dont buy it from monstertech unless you really like waiting
Plol true I waited a while even before black friday
TI just preordered... 
JJust received yesterday. Started wait list 6/12/23. Wait went faster than I expected. Shipping was super fast. Received to Seattle in 5 days from after invoice was paid. Seems packed well. Now to get this thing setup!
TAnyone know about how long the wait is now? I placed order for the total rhino system yesterday. It’s the weekend so I know it won’t be processed or in system for awhile but a friend wanted to know what the wait time looks like.
FRhino wait time is quite long
F!status

Flike preorder or the actual ordering process?
you'll have to wait like 7 months. lol
you'll have to wait like 7 months. lol
TI don’t understand? Preorder to order?
TWhat exactly is the process
FThere is a loooong waiting list before you get to actually purchase the rhino
TDang does anyone know how long it actually takes to build a single unit? And does he make more than a dingle unit at a time? I’m inly asking because of interest.
TWell I assume that 50% of the people probably back out of purchase I bet.
FYes a lot of people drop out early
FIf you look at messages like this you get an idea of speed
FHe recently expanded so pace has been speeding up
TAwesome this is quite the system he has built. Does he do this full time or just a hobby?
FHe has quit his job a while ago yes
FI think he even has a few employees but not sure
TThanks for you knowledge and answering my questions
FNo problem
Flol. that would be an insanely time consuming hobby
FDoes pay well I guess
TAlso I placed an order but I recieved no email message confirming my order?
Fyou need to message the VPforcebot to see your place.
also you haven't ordered yet so there is no confirmation.

Tso thats counting from the 368th that was just shipped?
Tso 366 more to go lol
VNope
Fand I thought having to wait for 470 units was a lot 
VI mean, it's likely to be ~400-500 for him due to drop outs, but still it's gonna take a bit
PAnyway to adjust the stick so there is a constant fwd pressure on it when the stick is neutral? Read the blue angels have a spring that pulls the stick forward so there is also pressure when when at center. Any way to accomplish this
ASo general grip question — I have a rhino (obvi based on my role color), and had it for a while, and I’ve been using the Virpil Constellation Alpha with it this entire time. However I’ve had this grip for a few years and I think it’s just getting a bit worn out, and can almost like creak or shift microscopic amounts when I’m using higher rhino forces. I’ve been considering getting a new grip, and while an easy path would be the alpha prime, I kinda got my eye on the vkb gunfighter ultimate 4 (or whatever it’s called). I like that it’s metal, I like the aesthetic, and probably most importantly I can get it without the twist axis, which is where I am getting some of that creak/slippage at higher forces despite having the lock bolt tightly in place). Anyways, just wanted to check, this grip should work fine with the rhino, correct? Would just need to get the adapter kit Walmis sells (I assume). The other question would be, does anyone else here have that grip and how do they like it with the rhino?
A(This the grip I’m referencing https://www.vkbcontrollers.com/products/mcg-ultimate-add-on-grip-for-gunfighter-iv )
VYou need the adapter and you also need the black box (from VKB) as it uses that to communicate with PC, the adapter is just a physical cable passthrough.
The grip is awesome, you have plenty of buttons to bind and I love it. Can't see myself going back to other Virpil, WW or TM grips just because they all have less buttons than this

VAnother thing to point out is that the adapter is only for "Gunfighter III" style of grip with the Rev.B adapter. They changed it to a TRRS style in Gunfighter IV config so the adapter won't work in this case unless you butcher it and make your own hard connnection
FAlso the mcgu is pretty heavy(being metal) so if you use a long extension prepare to activate some compensation
TI love my WW F-16 EX.
FThink imma get that as a side stick one day cause rhino doesn't like f16 as much
TI don’t really fly the 16, but I like it for everything I do fly, 18, 64D, AV8B etc
