Hey Mate. Recommendation by Walmis is Meanwell. You can use this one herre: https://www.ebay.de/itm/204393955999?itmmeta=01J23ZDRCZC80EJ5WJEVGYW8G3&hash=item2f96d4429f:g:7aQAAOSwOFZhuGNU&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4EwrJ3oTproHmCVXIe83Q19RctivYCEx34MPzMWnXgAtVMeHB%2FT3QKKc0StSpYSYxLNPAsqmgvWepFpZHprpBr9m5uVZIwRXifZKzbrAoq6KfrpIDPpo2TzKyu9LD7noSW90rupCAV%2BIE%2BCePWrkvSU81MD01Pdq3JJ2hypPJc%2F7XB2oSd36%2F4UrGOJi1FJEIIME7KfjAbJE7%2B3V3mqnUZ%2BfTNzn9K7bRV%2Fj4t%2BykTuY1eXOLBDpd0Ru3CL5RSW6CpzFPmlBFTVlsqt4ThFZpbTFO%2Fnf7ArzYRgfaBiAQsTc|tkp%3ABFBMyIa3_5Bk Need just some cables that you can get on amazon and maybe (only if you have kids or cat) a 3D printed cover. Cheers The 24V variant would even be powerful enough to not only power the rhino base but also FFB pedals or collective if you ever deceide to add either to your rig. TelemFFB supports Base, PEdals and Collective. There is multiple DIY projects on Pedals. MFG Crosswinds conversion by Hion for example, TM TPR Conversion by Smitty or TM TRP conversion by Flydoc

Hi, its a combination of: Time to print - Gimbal is 100% PETG-CF full material and Housing is very densely printed PETG. Power cost. Had to buy the machine that prints it. I am using very good printers to ensure very good quality of prints. Machine wear and tear. Material price (Filament, Leather for boot...) Recherche effort to find all parts. Labor for preasembly. Gimbal comes preasmbled. Internal power comes pre crimped and preassembled. All fans come preassembled. (have to crimp on proper connectors, cut wires to length). Leather boot comes pre sewed and partially pre fitted. I made a supplementary manual that adds some of my findings during assembly of my unit. Shipping and handling cost of all parts to my address Shipping and handling - I am not simply throwing everything into a box thou:) AI had to buy some tools to do proper crimping and so on. All that needs to be factored in thou. And last but not least. Besides of me loving the Rhino and thinking that every simmer should really experience it and IMHO its almost as revolutionary as flying in VR for the first time - I want and have to make some money off of it thou. Its a side hustle and i have to pay taxes. I hope that calrifies? Everyone is free to get his own printer, source the parts himself and do it yourself. All data is openly available including BOM and assembly guide. S! PS: IF i forgot something i will add later

Hello guys, got 2 kits ready to ship. Kit comes for 500,- plus shipping. Motor Kit comes for 300,- plus shipping (has to be ordered directly from VPForce) So over all you get teh rhino for 800,- plus shipping without the waiting time. Assembly can be done in one evening using basic tools and some patience.
-
Hey Jörg, I am happy that you are happy. The Rhino is a very special piece of "Simware". Thats for sure. I am glad I could help you getting to enjoy it a little earlier and not having to wait all the line for an original Rhino! BTW Everyone. One Kit is ready to ship if someone is interested shoot me a PM. Motor kits are also in stock at VPForce.
-
Awesome work! I can nothing but recommend GVLs work.
-
Thanks Gadreel, I am happy everything went so smooth. Happy "Forceful flying" now;)
-
Youre right. Diffrence is delivery time. Kit comes within Partially preassembled kit comes within 2 weeks and VPForce Motor kit also. Final assembly can be done within one evening. I am not a mass producer. Therefor i dont get cheap prices for the parts Even thou I would love to. Beautiful work. Looks amazing!

Kann mich Kiob nur anschließen. Go for it. Wirst es nicht bereuen. Auf dem offiziellen VPForce Discord gibts ne dedizierte DIY-Sektion wo du jederzeit auf hilfe hoffen kannst.
-
Because i did only brief comparison. It would probably not fair without in depth testing. What i can say openly is: No matter wich one you choose. you NEVER make a mistake! Both are awesome.
-
PM sent with my honest comparison of both bases/software.
-
Sure, can ship to USA. Costs around 48,- for shipping. Kit comes mostly preassembled. Gimbal is completely done. Power wiring is also pre done. You only need some drops of super glue and basic tools like allen keys and a cordless screwdriiver for the 40 housing screws. AND some patience.
-
Hello Hiob! Ich am happy you overcame all difficulties and are now happy FFB flying DCSer. Also thanks for your suggestions on improvements. They are thankfully received and will influence coming kits. Let me know whenever i can be of help and have a nice Forceful flight;) Winger

Hey community, this has been a sideshustle. And it was fun while it lasted. My main job has brought new responsibilities that require even more of my time and do not leave any room for something like this. I will remain part of the Flightsim community as well as the DIY community. Keep building Rhinos my friends. Its such an awesome device and you will love it so much - that i can promise!

Housing printed from PETG with Carbon fiber surface look. Gimbal is 2 part design just like Original Rhino. The upper threaded grip/extension connector is laser sintered from PA12. This is original VPForce 3D part that also is interchangeable with the Aluminium Upgrade connector from VPForce. The Grip connector is connected to the lower gimbal with a 20x20x3 aluminium profile. Motor and electronics are original VPForce Rhino components (DIY kit). PM if youre interested for details. Item location is Germany, Shipping is possible. EDIT: The missing potentiometer knob will be on there;) Simply forgot to stick it on for the pics;P
