Title: Ultrapixel Stringblade possibilities
Post by: OMG_Kenobi on October 03, 2021, 12:17:02 AM
Since the contacts/PCB for sending power/signals to the stringblade is a flat disk, has there been any plan to make an Archon V3 Saber with stringblade?

People from the company don't frequent the forums, so you may want to contact customer service with that type of question. However, I'd imagine they're working on it.

So at the moment it's not possible to buy pixel hilts without blades from US, right?

Probably not. Last time I looked they don't even offer the Pixel connector for a DIY install. Hopefully that will change in the future.

That would be great! 
Looking at that emitter, i really do not see how a pixel blade would be feasible.  yes the PCBs are flat but have to be held down.  It would take a redesign of the emitter.  plus the pixel blades are heavier (want to say 'much heavier' but i have not weight compared yet...) so maybe...but i would not wait around for it.
Also, on the site, i can confirm Archon v3.1 is not available with pixel as of today.

Unfortunate. I would have ordered now.

i found other sites which give the impression that pixel blade is possible in emitters which are similar to the Archon v3.1 so maybe i am wrong on this one.  i still do not see how it could be done effectively.
