This looks like the solution for me! Maybe I need to edit it a little bit so it is not exactly threads hitting the throw limiter, but a tiny bit below them. Do you mind sharing the file?

AAustringer Why as a side stick?

Spelljammer1OP•8/31/24, 7:35 AM

I swap between side stick and centerstick. Mainly cockpit reasons for side stick. Irrelevant however: easier to add extensions when you need length for the center stick. Problems with height emerge when mounting a taller stick on the side-stick-mounted OG Rhino. So I'd rather address that, looks like it is @Hiob to the rescue!

I can give you the STL (sorry, I have no parametric cad file for it), but I think I made it as short as possible without compromising any function or strength.

Hiob•8/31/24, 7:38 AM

I can give you a file for a one-piece throw limiter as well….

Spelljammer1OP•8/31/24, 7:38 AM

This little DIY helps with adjusting the table clamp between centre and side position. The wheels are lockable from Monstertech chair spares. (The clamp above provides the most stability, this is just support and oscillation block. The desk moves up and down, this is also why this adjustment with scissor-lab-equipment was needed.)

Awesome, STL is already great!

I'm curious if you had a phase in your project saved while it was still a two-piece solution like the OG Rhino?

I ask because I already have the metal connector from Walmis, so I might as well rather attach it to a version of a shorter stem (your stubby project).

Hiob•8/31/24, 9:05 AM

That‘s the problem, the metal connector is connected via a square-tube insert in the stem. In order to give it enough strength the gimbal part needs to be a certain length. Or in other words, if you want it shorter a meaningful amount, you HAVE to make it a single piece.

walmis•8/31/24, 3:36 PM

Yes it's possible to shorten the stem. The stock Rhino has 20mm square aluminum tube of 100mm length. It's possible to swap out a shorter one of the desired size (though the leather part might need tweaking for a shorter stem). If you need one, you can shoot me a DM, we could make a custom one

Hiob•8/31/24, 4:30 PM

I wasn’t aware that the square tube in the stock Rhino is longer than in the Kit by Winger. Interesting. The more you know….

That's superb.

I'll reach out with the measurements when I get back, travelling now so don't have access to the beloved Rhino.

Yep. I Made it intentional shorter to have the User steer height via extension

SSR-F_Winger_[73]_David Yep. I Made it intentional shorter to have the User steer height via extension

Hiob•8/31/24, 6:49 PM

good call!

Spelljammer1OP•8/31/24, 9:37 PM

yeah good move! that would be helpful for my use case where the Rhino shifts between center and side stick position. more adjustability on the extension side is indeed purposeful
