SHello everyone 
sent off my order form today after preordering back in November. Hopefully it ships soon!

SThe Rhino has mounting holes around its' base and presumably can be fastened to a plywood board or other surface. With the Moza AB9 it seems I would first need to source a mounting plate, find a way to fasten that plate to bottom of the AB9 and then attech to the plywood board I now use with my VKB spring base+extension. I don't see that Moza has considered that kind of setup need.
SOne question about the exposed motors/belts - has anyone had any issues with that? Looks like it might not be the best friend to leg hair...
DOr curious pets either. I can imagine a kitten getting a paw pinched badly while the user is in blinded in VR. I think I saw somebody on YouTube had 3D printed some belt guards. And just to keep it clean also, mounted as low as it must be.
Sfor a moment i thought i actually damaged my rhino yesterday it had like substantial resistance to the left yeah i would say that happens in u accidentally put balance spring to 80 instead of 8% xD
XI think going forward Walmis needs to develope an aluminium enclosure (press fit), and make his lovely thing as neat as at least Moza did
Xthat will boost company quite well, in terms of becoming less DIY to more streamlined production.
XI don't think having a alu casing is big deal for everyone who owns Rhino (best piece of equipment and softare), but it surely will compete on different markets
Xat some point Walmis will get bought by Corsair, so make it purchase bigger 
XVirpil was one guy thing (so does VKB), that ended up as industry leading companies
Xotherwise the Chinese will eat you up
Xit's cool tho how USSR guys kep doing Engineering for the world, while rest of best engineers (Germans) are still not in business
Xnot like Lithuania is USSR anymore, but the mindset of people is still the same
XI'm proud that my Rhino (DIY) made partially in Lithuania, i tell that to everyone who looks at it
Xprinting designs is easy, these guys who made it possible with hardware and software deserve a every day appreciation
Xand ofc Walmis, the man who made the world feel feedback (c) me
Xmy 2/c, ignore if you can
DI agree with you on these points. But I think the big difference is that development starts with smart people, who really care about the product and delivering a really great experience! There are tons of examples, video games, movies, etc...
Then, unfortunately, come the shareholders and their (exclusively?) financial visions.

Nhaving seen what moza looks like inside, I hesitate to use the word neat lol
Nmetal enclosure would be nicer for disassembly/reassembly cycles than the wood material tho
DWood? For real, these things are made of wood?
HThe outside is
HHey, wood is a strong and versatile material that has been used for thousands of years!
SThe future is now old man who uses wood nowadays /s :MurmKek:
SMakes sense tho i was always a bit confus who would 3D print boards this large sounds expensive
Sthat's exactly it. At this scale of manufacturing, wood if the best option for (relatively) low precision large flat parts. And hay, if it's good enough for F1 cars

[The wooden rhino is more rigid than a PETG-CF. So I don’t assume it is inferior to any other material than perhaps a full metal construction.
HA principle in mechanical design is "as rigid as necessary, as light as possible". 3D-prints (PLA, PETG - not even CF) and wood, both fullfill this in case of the Rhino. Using metal is just a matter of design and perhaps manufacturing price.

and pet it. It's the perfect choice for reasons stated above.

TWood or the DIY are 3d prints or you can have them made in metal but why?
All the case does is hold the motors and fan.

Pyou could start replacing the external panels with 3d printed if you'd like.
TFor me it’s always going to be the allure of DIY and how the words sing in my ears when my kids say…
“Daddy built that.. and that and that and that”
“Daddy built that.. and that and that and that”
TSo for sure I do it for me but I’m actually trying to show them that ANYTHING they can dream they can build or they can be
Bbtw...made mostly out of wood and hugely successful...
BWe have 1000 year+ old wooden structures still standing.
Just keep it dry.

BYoy could also look at the MFG crosswinds, also "wood" but a resin mdf that rival solid aluminium for hardness, although if you knew anything about metals its about the same hardness as frozen butter.
BAs for interesting materials.

LIt’s not just wood it feels like it’s laminated maybe very strong and looks professional like a mass produced product
NIts MDF painted with a high quality coating. I honestly thought it was injection molded plastic until I first took off the boot plate to mount the limiter plates where you can see exposed MDF in the screw holes.
BIts a curse of the day, if most people hear "wood" they start thinking "IKEA mdf" which is less like wood and more like painted cardboard.
ABasically the same thing as 'metal = quality'.
It highly depends on the actual material, manufacture, processing/finishing, and assembly.
