BLike, how compatible are the 2? If I have some 40 Series, can I just add onto it with 15 series, or will that cause issues?
Looks like the 2 slots on the 3.0 side are 1.9 mm closer on center than in 40 series. I don’t know if that’s enough difference to cause problems, or within normal tolerances

Stotally incompatible. the "15" in the name means 1.5 inch.
Syou cant really mix the 2
BThat’s what I figured, but I keep seeing mention that they’re “basically equivalent” so I just wanted to dig into that a bit more.
Sounds like you gotta pick one standard and stick with it, and since I’ve got like 5 MT deskmounts, I’m deep in the 40 series ecosystem

TMy bad, I saw 40 series and my mind went to 20-4040. Zyltech is cheaper than 8020 for the smaller profiles but doesn’t have the larger profiles.
TTnutz as mentioned above was the cheapest for 1.5” that I priced out recently but if you need 4080 there is also parco-inc
TParco was more expensive than tnutz but looks cheaper than 8020.net for 4080
Ji remember there being some dimensional differences between the two, or how they were measured
Jidk if thats still the case
BHmm, the extrusion and machining is definitely less than 8020.net... but shipping is more. And some of hardware is more expensive, some less... so on balance it's about a wash.
MI made the mistake of ordering a bunch of 15 series instead of 40 series but I will say that a lot of the MT mounting plates will work if you downsize the screws. Still better to just pick the correct extrusion though, lol
BYeah it’s about $200 shipped to build this (with clamp and top from an existing MT mount) using 8020.net. But I think it’s rock solid, so don’t regret the purchase.

S40 year old and feeling that i am waiting on a gift like i am 12 
FHey, we're all children, the toys just get more expensive and fun
CYou ordering another one?
BSame and it hasnt dissapointed.
PNah just checking for when people ask on my videos
THey guys, I'm putting a thrustmaster grip on for the first time (Hornet Grip). Doing a search here and elsewhere all I find is that TM is "default"... does that mean the "generic" setting in the dropdown for grips? If yes and I'm[ not missing something, then something isn't right. I'll have to check that no pins are bent as I've seen that before.
TConnection looks fine, so pretty sure it's not that.
AI'm using the TM Hornet grip with the generic setting and all buttons are recognised.
TThanks, I don't know what was going on but it seemed to fix it when I unplugged and replugged the grip to check the pins. I'll take it LOL.
TEverything is working great now.

PNow I'm officially u-hu (under hundred)!
FNew here, so I apologize in advance if I’m missing something obvious. Anyone know if the average total cost for the diy build is cheaper than the built base (I do not have a 3D printer so would outsource all of that)?
And what’s the average wait time for a diy kit? TIA

AThat's me 
. Ugh I'm so amped! For those of you in the U.S how long did shipping take?

Aafaik the kits should ship pretty quickly
TThe cost difference should be minimal specially you need to outsource your 3d printing. You'd still need to buy Walmis' motors and that is the main bulk of the cost. Still, if you really pinch it, should be cheaper. Kit ships way faster tho, a few days at best, 2 weeks at worst I reckon.
FThank you! If I have no engineering/CAD background, but a little coding experience, is it even a feasible option? Or a lot of research and self-education required to make such a kit?
THere is what most are using with the 57 series motor kit.

TYou will also need a grip that is compatible, TM/Virpil or winwing/VKB with their respective adapters.
TAt best, you can figure it out by just looking at guides in this discord. At worst, you can always as Walmis and/or the other diy'ers in here.

CAny possibility of working directly with MFG to get the holes needed predrilled? I am looking at getting a set for your upcoming mod, and would love to not have to figure out how to drill through them.
JThat would be quite nice
JI'd be much more inclined to order sooner rather than later were that the case. Even if it involved me contacting them to request it special and having to pay them extra to pre drill the holes
