I am liking the sound of this system more and more. If anyone is aware where to locate 2mm grout backing rods then do let me know please. If not – do you think it would be easy to spot if I went with 3mm – assuming you can get 3mm…

If I can get away with laying a 40 sqm slab by hand then great, my question now is what is the minimum thickness I could get away with on the top of the crushed and compacted hardcore to take the weight of procelaine and light foot traffic whilst ensuring a level surface for the pedestals?
You need to contact tilefix about the information you are asking I they have a you tube video , porcelquick adpeds .

usually laying with pedestals
it is carried out at level, the slope must be under the pedestal.
otherwise they move.
I don't understand why the line is closed,
the ones I used start from 0.5mm thick and go to infinity ...

Okay, Im erring on the adjustable pedastel system rather than porcelquick as it doesn't involve cement and adhesive. However, to create the inside & outside seamless look I would need to grout externally. I assume I do as otherwise the external tiles without grout would look like an unfinished job when compared to the same tiles internally with grout, unless anyone else would disagree.

I assume you can use the grout backing rod with the adped sysem too as with the porcelquick system??

I don't know the systems you mentioned,
here in Italy I saw them all without the grouting
