You could go for the build that leaves you with too long spokes (how much too long btw?) and just get them shortened by your lbs if they have time and are open :)

You’re finding this hard because spoke length calcs calculate spoke length based on hub & rim dimensions, you want a rim erd calculator that gives erd according to your hub and spoke dimensions. Which doesn’t exist.
Try entering various erd measurements til you get one that shows @3x ~290mm or @4x ~294mm. Then find a rim that is that erd or near, a bit over that would be fine as you’ve already aimed at a -2mm rounded-down spoke length.
Are those^ your actual hub measurements? (though we can’t fully see the number in left flange>centre box) someone very bored, maybe me at about 3pm this afternoon say, might try to help you find your rim.

If those are your numbers^^ (I’m approximating a L f>c @29.5) your longer spokes, @ 4x, want an erd around 596 - 598
Velocity Dyad 596
Rigida Andra 30 598

I started a wheel-building project a few years ago but it went tits up and has been sitting gathering dust for ages and lockdown seems a sensible time to start... I have a hub (Sturmey Archer S2C kick shift 36 spoke) and a range of different spoke lengths (have about 40 spokes in either 292mm and 296mm), and want to find a rim to marry the two together.
I've spent the past few hours on wheel building calculators, my brain is fried and I'm no closer to figuring it out... I have hub measurements (and spoke sizes), but when I try to calculate this with the type of rim I might want (something like Mavic Open Sport), the spoke required are too long with 4X or too short with 3X. Any suggestions? Any help greatly appreciated!
