I’m guessing there’s a point to the belts being exposed, but I possess absolutely not one bit of technical knowledge to help answer that
Pwhile my warthog stick is currently on a virpil base
Pgoing to be more important for the dust cover to fully cover the Rhino
VIt saves a lot of time, material and complexity having the load bearing parts of the mechanism double as the case for the motors and electronics with the only drawback being some exposed moving belts. Which isn't as much of a concern on this type of device compared to constantly rotating mechanisms in an industrial setting. Although I don't know what his reasoning is, this is only based on my very limited CAD/CAM experience.

very good insights! And the reasoning is very true. I thought about adding/releasing stl files for covers for small pulleys since this question comes up from time to time. The large pulleys have very limited range indeed.
DWhat about my beard! I need to protect it from getting eaten by the gears 
VOh god I didn't even think about that hahahah
DI got a magnificent beard
Fthis will get into the news: santa claus tried flight simulator, got killed by his FFB joystick...
F"... not only the stick mechanics were pulling his head onto the stick base, the grip also started beating his head for hours until someone found him..."
DSome great news if there are any F1 fans here
Pif you really don't want vibrations, just turn FFB off entirely 
WIt's possible to adjust or turn off global periodic effect strength on the Rhino. :)
P@walmis is it too much to hope that you're getting a Rhino out a day?
PI know it is, I'm just very excited.
WA bit slower currently ;)
Pyep, better to make sure everything is done right and packaged properly
Pon top of everything else
WIndeed

ADoes the Rhino base use different motors than the options in the DIY kit?
WRhino uses the 57BLF motors, kits offer even heavier motors

Quick demonstration showing progress on the Open Hornet flight stick. There's flex in the fixed-end anchor for the pitch springs, which softens the pitch force gradient somewhat. This can be fixed without too much trouble. Even so, the force required for full deflection is substantially larger than any commercial stick offered for enthusiast fli...

WI don't see why not.. Just the mechanics would be quite a project

DI am now officially an ACE in the hind
HThat's great 
AIf there ever is a synchronized dual-cockpit mode it needs to be called "WF" just so that everyone who sits into your co-pilot seat for the first time asks why
NWas probably asked already, but when and where will we be able to purchase a Rhino?

JHi all,
Just to say that Walmis did an amazing work with its FFB.
Just received it. Outside quality and finish look really great. We notice the well known motor kogging but it’s disappears when you plug the DC. Force comes as soon we plug the USB. A notification appears in Windows with a link to the connected website and drivers.
Really amazing job Walmis. Bravo

WHey @flyingtux706, really glad everything arrived safe and sound Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the feedback!
NBeen away from it all for a while
FAnyone know the current delivered s/n count? 6 or so?
SThink he just shipped 6, where you at?
F23 I think
WLast SN shipped is 0008
KWohoo! Can‘t wait for 0010
