MYou can get a hardened steel nozzle for the P1, and a set of hardened steel extruder gears for @$50 US.
I tried PLA-CF initially for my DIY Rhino, and regular PLA was much stronger with better layer adhesion (I assume because the plastic is not diluted by micro fibers). CF does result in an amazingly smooth surface finish cosmetically

Fyeah, this is why im happy i didnt go for x1c
Fit seems CF is weaker than normal funnily enough
Falso apparently colour matters a ton
MThe X1 has some nice upgrades out of the box you can't get on the P1. Most notably the touch screen and LIDAR (for dynamically adjusting filament flow). To be honest I rarely use the touch screen as you can do everything from the Bambu slicer software. The LIDAR is nice if you use a lot of different filament brands, but if you don't it is easy to setup profiles for the brand you use most. Speed and results are the same P1 to X1
SI believe it's mine 
And tommorow it's expected to arrive 
Just can't wait

MDid this today with P1 and CF this is the top surface amazingly smooth like brushed steel part is 6mm thick panel
JDo you have a 3d printer?
JThe X1C is a fantastic printer. The P1 series are also amazing.

JComes out June 26th
PI want the typhoon
D@Jon (Bounty_V) my God man! The chinook mod in DCS is the most unique helo you will fly ... Now it's a full fidelity module!!!??? I think I just pulled the trigger on the TPR ffb pedal mod.
JAlongside the C-130 the Hook has been my most anticipated module
Yeah I need to get some MFG Crosswinds and that mod myself. I'm just terrible at DIY and want some sort of drill template or something so I literally can't mess up

Fwhat will FFB pedals even do in a helicopter?
I understand them for warbirds but why for helicopters?

Jif u dont wanna take the spring off, will keep pedals in place for you
Jso you arent constantly holding them at a certain point or setting up some sort of trim
Jits also a feel thing
Fah, okay. I have a damper for the MFGs that hold them in place for me.
Jthis would do the same thing and then you're future proofed for any potential ffb effects made for pedals
FI'd have to find a way to fixate the pedals first then
VCan someone break down how telemFFB talks to the VPforce motors? Is it possible to have telemFFB generate FFB effects based on game telemetry and send them to a DirextX FFB device such as the Open FFboard?
VI suppose that information is classified 
is there a chance that telemFFB will support other motor-drivers in the future?

NIts open source, no secrets. This is the custom driver here: https://github.com/walmis/VPforce-TelemFFB/blob/wip/ffb_rhino.py

CArrived in Brasil! 
Sdumb question will the rhino turn itself off or go into a low power mode if it gets too hot?
Sand 2. question what is a temp thats to hot for it?
Fim sure it has overcurrent protection for certain and i heard it does do one of those things, forgot which
Fi think max temp is somewhere between 60 and 80c but not sure
BThe motors should be able to handle 100 degrees celcius, granted not finding specific winding temperatures for this model, but the magnets hold til about 110-120 degrees. you should have to work the motors pretty hard to get there, and they shouldn't de magnetize at those temps either, just go weak until they cool down so even if it goes there you shouldn't cause permanent damage.
Athe rhino will reduce the forces gradually until it can cope with the heat load
WIf you’re running the Rhino at lower force settings, will it overheat often?
Hjust wanna personally thank @walmis and @Subsonic (Protomaker) for this amazing Project, you made many simmers -including me- happy!
Aif you go low enough it won't overheat pretty much ever
Fmine never went above 35°C yet. lol
SAll the credit goes to @walmis
It is his genius invention, I just put together the instructions for how to built one.
We all love this hobby. Happy to help smooth the process for all the DIY folks.

MI've run mine reasonably high for going on a year now, and I haven't even heard the fan turn on, let alone have any overheat issues
PHey guys, I pre-ordered the Rhino and from what I understand, when the time comes to purchase I will be able to add the various optional components that I haven't selected yet, is that correct?
FYes
FStuff like adapters should come then
PThank you !
ZLooking at this again, the desire to start building one of these myself is growing once again. I‘m sure I will today, once again dream of flying the apache with proper force trim.
