Title: New Saber: Archon v3.1
Post by: Deep on October 13, 2015, 12:59:11 AM
Archon v3.1 update - upgraded threading on emitter neck for increased durability.  PLEASE NOTE: yes, you can duel with the Archon v3.1 but it's meant for light - mid dueling NOT Heavy dueling.  See Archon v2.1 for HEAVY dueling.


Ultrasabers is proud to present the Archon v3.1. The new Archon v3.1 brings another iconic and loved saber designs to the Ultrasabers lineup. The Archon v3.1 is of course fully made of T6 Aircraft Aluminum (neck is made of brass) and combat ready. The skinny neck design is a first for Ultrasabers and it looks great with this hilt design. The emitter itself is a 4 piece design with the top of the neck being made of brass. The Archon v3.1 is also available with two different pommel designs. The standard version is the Black and Silver Pommel and the Classic version is the all Silver pommel. The pommel also comes standard with a small D-Ring attached. The Archon v3.1 is able to accommodate sound installs, Emerald LED driver installs, and has a MHS compatible emitter & pommel as well.

The Archon v3.1 comes standard with a 36" Heavy Grade blade, is 1.5" wide at the grip, and 12" long from the top of the emitter to the bottom of the pommel. The saber comes completely assembled and ready to go. The pommel and emitter are removable and compatible with MHS parts. Sound and the Emerald LED driver are also available options. Both Standard Setup and Li-Ion Setup work perfectly for a Archon v3.1 with No Sound. However, Li-Ion Setup is mandatory in order to add sound or the Emerald driver to the Archon v3.1.

Expect a review from me here soon :) Getting Obsidian V3 to just have one certain font set for this saber. No details until then though ;o A friend is helping me make some tabbards and an obi though for a Luke inspired costume. I'll be the Ultra Sabers Luke cosplayer :P Just need the more rounded top black boots

The thing about V4, which I've been doing - is you can Enable and Disable the sound banks.  So I only enable 2 of them - one of which is mute.  That way I can easily just toggle just between sound On & Off.  Rather than scroll through 8 sound banks.

Well worth the $10 to easily go between sound or stunt.

Didn't know you could have just 2 fonts on if you wanted

Yeah I usually roll with 3-4 per V4 board.

@Zren if you use fewer sound banks, the larger they get and you can have more fonts per sound bank if you want.

Hmmm... I admit, I really like the look of it. Never a fan of the Archon Classic, but the tweaks really make it.

Depending on if there's a sale/raffle coming up soon, I could be tempted - Might have to ask about adding an activation box, though. Hmm...

I asked about adding an activation box when I placed my order last night. Haven't heard anything back yet. Either way, it will be awesome! And my first saber with all the bells and whistles! :)

*edit*

As I was typing this, I got an email from Emory, "I just wanted to give you a heads up that we would not be able to install an activation box on your Archon v3.  The groves pose an issue and it is hit or miss with drill and tapping into them.  That is why we no longer are able to offer the activation on this hilt (without risk of it being crooked, etc)."

A little sad.. but still looking forward to a schmexy new saber!

Want to pull the trigger on this want to pull the trigger on this want to pull the trigger on this.

Once I finish my next few customs I feel like I can justify it (not really) I was sad when I had to get rid of my original Archon v2 years ago (Do I even need another lightsaber?).
Truth be told I just want to turn it into a semi-accurate Luke v2.

Yeah, you picked up on that!  I took some flak over that move YET, just to enlighten, I've already changed out the LED to red as well as the switch to red.  It was an easy swap!  QDs allow me to change to a bevy of craziness! ;D

You could use this to replicate ObiWan Kenobis lightsaber from episode 3 or 4, as well as Lukes from episode 6  or that time from the books when he was hanging out with Palpatines clone and used a red crystal in the same hilt. Graflex style clamp, T track grips, and a blue blade for ObiWans, Graflex clamp and green blade for Lukes episode 6, and Graflex clamp and red blade for dark Lukes. It'd be a bit more extensive than that, but those mods would get you started.

Yeah, my same thoughts.  I took some flak over my Chosen One config back when I first joined the saber forum.  Wanted to experiment yet, with the intention to be able to convert to original config.  This current offering is definately worth playing around with! :)

Hi. If US can't fit an activation box, would that mean easier to authentically make a GB for Ben's saber in episode 3/4, or to make in CG for Luke in episode 6? Or affect both equally??

Trying to work out how I would prefer to order mine. Tri GB or Tri CG.

Thanks

I'd personally opt for one in Guardian Blue and nab a Photon Green blade from one of the other saber builders. It's a neat material that glows green when exposed to blue light. So standard US blade for Obi, Photon blade for Luke, same LED either way.

Okay.. so not terribly useful info.. but an interesting factoid none the less.. the Archon v3 emitter actually unscrews into 3 parts.. I say not terribly useful, because they wont fit with any other MHS parts...

Inzane!  Welcome back brother!  :D Did you watch the video accompanying the new offering?  Emory stated that it is worthy of dueling and I imagine "spin" just as well.

I have recently ordered Arcon v3 and it was successfully delivered to Malaysia (the items are all in good condition). Very good Customer service from Ultrasabers (double thumbs up), i would like to thank Ultrasabers for that.


Archon V3 is heavy and i prefer heavy handles and mannn.... it looks awesome. I have always been a fan of ROTJ Luke's lightsaber and wanted one without the ignition box, and its a dream come true .. hahaaa... Thank youuuu Ultrasabers !!!!!!!!!!!

Just a slight friendly opinion.. since the blade holder / emiter is short, it kinda feels btr to have abt 2 -3 set screws, more tighter hold.

And your ultra edge heavy blade.. wow ! its solid..

looking forward to get other blades from ultrasabers :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

I just posted this in another thread but I should've put it here I guess... ::)


"For those who are wondering...

I emailed US and kindly asked if they could tell me when they thought the new Archon V3 emitter would be available for sale on it's own.  US said that they wanted to put it up for sale soon, but weren't quite ready and unfortunately had no specific time line or release date.

The struggle continues... ;D  I can't wait to get one for my self!"

Hey All,

I couldn't wait any longer and jumped in head first.  I ordered my Archon V3 today and I decided to give Luke's saber a little dark side flair.  I love the design and just felt that many people were going to go traditional (light side) with this one and I had to go all dark. 

So here is the setup I got for my Archon:

Blade LED Color:TRI Fire Orange
Flash on Clash:No Flash
Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup with BuckPuck (Batteries & VP1 Charger Included)
Recharge Port:No Recharge Port
Archon v3 Blade Type:Heavy Grade for Archon v3
Blade Length:32" Length
Pommel Version:Normal Version
Quick Disconnect:Sure, Add Them!
Sound:Yes, Install Obsidian USB V4 Sound! [V4
Switch Type (Momentary):Red Illuminated Black AV Switch
Blade Tip:Round Tip
Include Retention Screw Wrench:No Thanks
Include Blade Plug:No Thanks
Include Saber Stand:No Thanks
Include MINI USB Cable:No Thanks
Include Covertec Clip:No Thanks
Install Covertec Wheel:No Thanks

Since my Guardian has the Emerald setup I decided to get the quick disconnects so that I could change things out later if I felt a change of heart. 

I also decided to use my points and throw in a completely random grab bag, just to see what happens.  I will definitely post pics when I get my new baby.

Hi k-don welcome to the forums! I see this is your first post, there are forum rules you need to read and acknowledge(bold red print on forum home page) before posting further...thanks! :)

To order one of these beauties you'll need to visit Ultrasabers online store Ultrasabers.com, that's where all the hardware is!

I absolutely love my Archon V3. It is my first saber and I was so happy when Ultrasabers came out with it. I was going to buy the Scorpion; but, when I saw the Archon V3 I had to have it because I love Luke's ROTJ Lightsaber and this one was close to it. There should be an activation box addition available, but this is more functional for spinning and dueling in my opinion. Mine is not good for spinning because of a lack of proper choke point and my covertec wheel gets in the way. Cut my hand on it. I put pictures on my post.

So I emailed US and they said no to the Mantis pommel and the Scorpion emitter. I'll look at other options for customizing. The Archon V3 emitter does come apart into 3 pieces though, I'll play with that.

I received my Archon V3 Yesterday. I didn't try taking the emitter apart. I think it's 4 pieces because there's the black, the copper and the head. The head is supposedly 2 parts. I haven't verified this yet though but I seem to recall seeing a picture of it separated somewhere in the forums.

My set up:
Archon v3 [Blade LED Color:Consular Green]
[Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup with BuckPuck (Batteries Included *ONLY*)]
[Recharge Port:No Recharge Port]
[Archon v3 Blade Type:Heavy Grade for Archon v3] - (See review link below for more on this.)
[Blade Length:36" Standard Size]
[Pommel Version:Classic Version]
[Quick Disconnect:Sure, Add Them!]
[Blade Tip:POINTED TIP]
[Include Retention Screw Wrench:No Thanks]
[Include Blade Plug:Yes, Include Standard Plug]
[Include Saber Stand:No Thanks]
[Include Covertec Clip:No Thanks]
[Install Covertec Wheel:No Thanks]

 I did a review and I covered the issues with the blades and this emitter. Lots of pics. It can be found here.
http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=26182.0

This is my second saber but will be the one I refer to when I say My Saber. Have some plans for it that can be found and will be documented here.
http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=26156.0

In short I love this saber and it is everything I expected it to be. So love the ROTJ Luke look. I' not the first to say it but this is a must have even if just to display. MTFBWYA

I'm pretty sure they don't sell the scorpion emitter separately because it's not MHS compatible.  You may have noticed that the scorpion pommel comes in two versions: MHS and Replacement.  The MHS one is MHS compatible (of course).  The Replacement one is smaller, to fit the smaller Scorpion body.  This would mean that the emitter would be smaller as well, and not fit MHS sabers.
Trust me, I was disappointed I couldn't add it to my Archon V2.1...

Just to clarify that the Scorpion emitter is actually MHS compatible, but some parts just aren't sold individually and are only available on the lightsabers their sold with.  In addition, any MHS part will fit on any MHS compatible hilt.  The "replacement" pommel has a wider upper rim  specific to the Scorpion as the body of that saber is wider due to it's outer shroud, the "MHS" one is meant for other saber without a shroud so it'll mate up smoothly to the bottom of those hilts.

I've seen pictures of a Scorpion emitter on an Archon body from someone who has both lightsabers, it looks deadly :D

Well, I took the plunge. This will be my first saber, hope I chose well.

Just a question, is it possible to order the V2 emitter and blade for use on this saber and do they also allow you to send a unit back to add a cover tech wheel?


Title: Re: New Saber: Archon v3
Post by: hazard502 on December 01, 2015, 12:35:17 AM
You can order the V2.1 emitter as an extra, you can get a different blade too but the one that comes with the V3 will work fine in the V2.1 emitter.
You can send your saber in to add a covertec wheel, just start communication at info@ultrasabers.com and they'll make arrangements with you.

Hey, I'm about two weeks away from buying an Archon v3. Want to use it for conventions, for my Luke Skywalker ROTJ cosplay to be exact. Convention rules in Germany are a little on the strict side though, and they don't like to see metal so much. It comes down to how heavy it is in the end.
Could someone give me a number for that? How heavy is the hilt, including ecletronics and batteries and how heavy is it with the blade attached? It would suck if I pay 400 bucks for a Lightsaber and then can't even bring it to conventions.

All help is appreciated, thank you.

Sorry if this has been asked before, not had time to look through the thread.

Just wondering if anyone has any idea when the Archon V3 will be back in stock...or even if it will EVER be back in stock?

Also, is it ok to Duel with? I imagine the slim neck would be a worry for some people when it comes to dueling, however, due to the fine work at US, I'm guessing it's incredibly strengthened in order to avoid any bending or snapping?

@Lord Tik......as popular as this iconic saber it is you KNOW it will definitely be back in stock, BUT it will be the waiting game.  I am sure that US got blitz by the sheer number of people ordering this saber.  Since this neck design came out numerous people have been eagerly awaiting getting this saber.  As far as duel ability....US assures us this emitter is sturdy enough...and if that is not good enough..there was an incident where someone had a thin neck emitter fail and Emory sent out a replacement at NO COST because US is that awesome...Emory really takes care of his customers.

I would have to say that the neck is sturdier than it appears in the pictures.  I have had mine for a few months now and have done some small amount of sparring with the kiddos and its holds up well.  I will probably buy the V2.1 neck/emitter soon and use that for heavier dueling, but its not a huge deal, especially because it looks so AWESOME.   :o

It really does look best with the tri-LED, by the way.
It makes a world of difference to all those who are still making up their minds.

As far as I know you can't buy a Archon v3 emitter separately yet.   They probably need to fill the orders they have for the sabers and see what field test results they get from the v3.1 before they sell the emitter alone.  (I image when the reports of the v3 having dueling/thread issues they decided to make a new emitter and wait until it can be outside tested).

I've ordered a v3.1 saber but I hasn't been three weeks yet, so I don't have it yet.

Nope.  

Emerald driver RGBW shipped in Consular Green.  I'd done nothing to it yet at that point.  As delivered.

After messing with it a little I got Dark Violet Amethyst (which was actually the FoC, just set for seven seconds in DVA then .04 in CG):

I was finding the balance point here.  Positive this is a photo with the flash on given that shadow.

Presently I have in Sentinel Yellow, but I've not put the blade in to take pictures yet.  I'm just messing around right now.   The white with the RGB also used as white is super bright with just the blade plug.

Question, what would the effect of drilling a second set screw into the emitter (at 90 degrees from the one present) do to the blade and other factors?

I am considering it to not only get rid of the slight wobble but also to reduce the stress of the one screw holding the blade in.

(On request at a convention I presently have the blade in Blazing Red pulsing to a Teal every six seconds (also holding for six seconds each) and a Sentinel Yellow held for six seconds on FoC.)

Hello all, this may be old information, if so I am sorry.
I went the way Rogu3 was thinking. I called US and was told the V3.1 emitter
was not available seperately so I ordered a V3.1 saber with an extra V2.1 emitter and a black
vented coupler as I have seen this used as a semi crystal chamber.
It was ordered on Jan 15th and is being delivered tomorrow, one month exactly.
Not to bad for them being so busy. The weight for saber and blade delivered is about 3 lbs
For the person in Germany asking. Will post pics when it arrives.

You need to turn it counter clockwise.

Can a Heavy UltraEdge Blade be fitted to the Archon v3?

If the blade purchased with an order, how would one specify that so one can swap out the heavy grade blade for an UltraEdge in the already owned Archon v3's emitter?

I am thinking of purchasing a couple of new heavy blades in 32" and 36" along with a coupler and an Archon v2 emitter, but I'd like the new blades to be able to fit the Archon v3's emitter I already own.

The only difference in a V3.1 HG blade is that the inner film is cut back to make room for the core of the emitter.  You could do this yourself when you get new HG blades.  Or you could email US and get pre-authorization for them to do it for you in your next order.

Just got mine on Wednesday. Pretty sweet saber, but the blade is wobbly. The neck is pretty resilient but the blade seems to not seat right and has some bob to it

The thick blade and the fact it sits only an inch or two into the emitter (making the blade stick out much more than the V2.1)  causes me some problems when swinging it around, more so to my wrists than my arms.  Of course I am a smaller fellow so that certainly has a lot to do with it.  The saber does make a clanking sound when I practice with it around the emitter area. Over all i do love it though, I'm glad I bought it.

I picked one of these up in PO and I have to say I am not a fan of the design. The choke point is easy to grip but hard to spin because of the extreme edges, and the inability of the hilt to take a midgrade blade is a real let down. The reflective coat inside the thin neck also does not transmit light as well as pretty much any other hilt model making this the dimmest saber I own. It is a pretty hilt and all lightsabers are awesome, but I have to say this has quickly become my least favorite Ultrasabers model.

My archon just arrived today. Pretty happy with the overall looks, and after swinging it around a while haven't noticed anything wrong with the emitter. Will keep and eye out on it though. I took some pictures comparing the brightness and it did seem less bright which is slightly sad but obvious cause of thin neck. However its not horribly noticeable. The pictures def looks worse than it is, the video I took shows the true brightness a bit better.

Any idea when the emitters will be available in the build your own section ?
I have a couple customs I want to use these for.

We're not sure if the emitter will ever be available to purchase on its own. I believe the Archon V3.1 has proved so popular that US is doing their best to meet demand ... meaning no spare emitters for sale unfortunately.

I've had mine for about 6 months.

My FAVORITE of the quiver I have.  I've modded it as close to a Luke V2 as I can get, and duel with it (light to medium, not TSL battle style) and it's done great so far.  For me, the choke point is great - and for the little bit spinning I might do, the edges don't seem to interfere or harm my hands (not even the Graflex clamp I added).

Anyways, those of you who are waiting, know the wait it worth it, you will be satisfied and I bet even a bit surprised at how cool this is in person!

Thanks Ultrasabers!

Thank you!  I got the knob from the guy who I think goes by "Elvis Trooper".  it also doubles as a piece on Stormtrooper armor, from what I understand...

Has anyone tried this with the tri-cree adegan silver and colour discs?

I'm looking to add a yellow colour to my one, but I don't know how bright that will be.

Design of the 3.1 prevents the use of color discs under the blade.

Well, thats useful info.  Shouldn't it just sit on top of the led module?

Hmm, how can I get a yellow then? There don't seem to be any options for that.

You *might* be able to unscrew the entire emitter and sandwich the discs between the LED module and thin-neck, but since I've never handled the hilt, I can't verify.

Otherwise, just follow the Forum Colors guide to order an Archon with Sentinel Yellow blade:

Hmm, I would think I could, I'd need to wait till I'm back home and check the hilt. Are the discs the same size or are they smaller?


I'd prefer the discs as it means I can get different colours, but would that be too dim given the neck?If its just a little dimmer I'm not as bothered, but if its a serious decrease thats less good.

Rather than getting the colour discs, I suggest you look at getting a book of LEE filters or similar (I want to say Roscolux?) - same principle, much wider range of colours. Test books, which'll give you two 'discs' per sheet, can be picked up from suppliers/ebay for a couple of dollars.
