UltraSabers has always offered their products with customers in mind while keeping what they offer cost effiencient without them losing money per sale. Can they jump on the wagon like the other guys and offer what everyone offers or what “everyone’s currently doing to their sabers”? Sure, but that means increase in products for us since they are in the market to make money just as much as they are in it for customer satisfaction. Most things that they don’t offer can be had for pennies in the dollar, you just have to look for it and most of it aren’t hard to integrate into a US hilt. Just because you can imagine it doesn’t nesseccarily mean that it’ll happen and just because you can doesn’t meant hat you should.

I have to post this again, and probably won't stop posting it until I get the sabers I want.
There are only two sabers I want to see next.
The first one is an updated Archon V2.1, made to look like the Obi-Wan Kenobi hilt from ROTS, without an activation box or d-ring, mainly because I would like it to be similar to the Archon V2.1..
The second one is an Anakin Skywalker inspired hilt from AOTC, this one I would like to see with an optional activation box.
Don't tell me that the Prophecy is Anakin's first hilt, because you are wrong, it isn't close enough for my liking.

Hi All, I think I have solved the mystery of the claws. They are held in place by a retention screw FROM INSIDE the emitter!  Take a look at the Aeon V5 on the product page showing the mouth of the emitter and zoom in on it. Look in the circle and you can see what looks like an 8/32 set screw. And if the profile of the ridge the claw is attached to is symmetrical then it may be possible to remove and reattach the claw flipped 180 degrees. Excellent detective work!!! |

Hi Logos, I think it's called "Genius Engineering" points incoming guys... |

Agreed and I do like that they've mounted it on the inside of the emitter giving the claws a really clean look. Hi Infinit01 and BatMike90, glad you both like it, let's keep our fingers crossed! I think it's called "Genius Engineering" points incoming guys... Hey there Tyeth. I don't like it, I love it. Did I ever told you that you're my 3D modeling mentor? Because you are if you're willing Let's hope your design becomes reality |

I can knock out the external "look" of the hilts but I still need to work on the engineering side of designing (tolerances, material thicknesses, threading of parts etc) Also you may have noticed the emitter might need scaling up a bit...I just built this by eye without any measurements to work off. |

It's a rough draft and you did so by eye which is a feat in itself. You are the person who got me started after all, "beginner" or not. |

Alright. I am going to depart from my usual request of more updates to the Diamond Controller and introduce (or reintroduce) an idea that has been floating around in my head for quite some time.
I suggest an Ultrasabers' Exchange Program. (Name not set in stone, open to suggestion)
It is no surprise to anyone that Ultrasabers' are quite addicting and you can buy them up like candy. (I sure did!) I have acquire quite a collection since starting in February 2016, most of my hilts sit in a box, wrapped up. (Batteries removed, of course!) And I am not quite confident enough to sell them on other platforms.
So the meat and potatoes of what I am purposing:
* You have a hilt you want to sell back to Ultrasabers.
* They offer you a fair and balanced price (hopefully, not expecting what I paid for it or even half of what I paid for it.) and you ship it to them.
* Once they receive the saber, they confirm price and what they can recycle for parts and payment is sent to customer.
* Instead of actually using cash, I purpose reward points being offered. It cuts back on fraud and you can send in sabers for points, to reduce price of "Holy Grail" sabers.
Let me know what you all think.
