TECH BULLETIN: CS3 HPR Body O-Rings ⚙️
Whenever we hear reports of any issues with our products – no matter how small – we like to jump on it as soon as possible, try our best to understand the root of the problem and then provide a definitive solution. Over the last couple of weeks we have received reports of some inconsistent air leaks from the frame and POPS area of the CS3. Every marker that we produce is thoroughly tested prior to packaging and shipping, but unfortunately these leaks have developed after shipping, and normally at temperatures below those that the markers experience in testing. This is generally down to contraction – or shrinkage – of seals that occurs as the temperature drops. The leak can be heard from around the grips or, with the grips removed, from the Regulator Hole A in the side of the frame. It can also be heard from the join between the bottom of the frame and the POPS. We have traced these leaks to what appears to be a bath of bottom tolerance 016 NBR70 o-rings used on the brass HPR Body (see
Facts and Features please :D
ReplyDeleteOled and cure 4 + ego 11 reg i guess
ReplyDeletetheres really not that much they can do to the etek base at this point beyond add the upgrades that are already out there and put a +1 at the end
ReplyDeleteBase rice for both LT and AM???
ReplyDeletethere's only going to be an LT i believe, and its been the same SL3 reg across the etek3 and ego/geo platforms so no reason that will change. bolt may be upgraded (cure 3) and will still be a led board as that is what helps keep cost down on etek platform. hence why i'm excited to see what is actually getting improved on!
ReplyDeleteEtek3 does not have a sl3 reg....
DeleteAre they going to put the pops asa on it?
ReplyDeletewhen is it coming to stock ??????
ReplyDeleteLiam- they cant really make any improvements though, the etek platform is in essence already an ego just minus some of the super expensive and not needed extras (adjustable noid that will reach speeds that you will never ever need, LCD screen, super minimalist milling) you guys might as well take your 3, put a cure 3 or 4 bolt on it and then slap a "4" sticker on the side plus seeing as how they have stopped releasing yearly EGOs due to a lack of innovation what makes you think there is anything left to improve on the etek platform?
ReplyDeletedont get me wrong I love my 3 but if I feel the need to spend another $600ish id rather have a sick anno done or some custom milling rather than have the same thing with a 4 on the side that matches every other one that comes off the production line and matches everyone elses. Personally I feel there is something wrong with the industry when like apple, you can release something, make one minor tweek to it, put a +1 at the end and have the same people buy it all over again just to have the "latest"
Just bought the etek 3 hopeing to sell it and get etek 4 if the upgrades are worth it
ReplyDeleteI have ancient etek1 needed a new marker and everything i am looking for seems to be etek4. Can't wait!
