The Etek has always stood for reliability, performance and value for money. It has always carried the same core values as every other Eclipse marker of exceptional quality, robust and reliable design, simple maintenance and ease of use. The Etek3 is no different. By combining many features and parts found and used within the Ego range, but in a pared-down design, it allows the Etek3 to perform at similar levels, but at a price-point that makes it obtainable by the more cost-conscious player. A true Marker for the Masses.
This is the base model and will feature, for the very first time on an Eclipse marker, Composite parts. The composite parts in question are manufactured from Glass Reinforced Nylon. A very durable material that is both tough and rigid. The GRN parts found on the Etek3 LT will be the Frame, the Eye Covers and the Lever-Locking Clamping Feedtube assembly. All other parts of the Etek3 LT are manufactured from exactly the same materials and finishes you will find on the Ego10 and SL range. High grade aluminiums and stainless steels, deep cosmetic and industrial hard anodizing. No corners are cut in the manufacture of the Etek3.
Planet Eclipse Etec 3 AM Specs:
- One-Piece Body – No more separate FRM. Like the Ego7 onwards, the FRM of the Etek3 is integrated into the body for reliability and
robustness.
- Deftek Feed – Offset Feed. The feed is offset to one side by a small amount. This prevents the balls that tumble into the breech from
bouncing excessively and causing breaks and chops.
- New smaller rammer housing – Still using the provenrammer housing design from the Etek 2, but in a much smaller package.
- Zick Kit – The Zick kit. Helps reduce kick and softens the initial impact on the ball during loading
- Cure Bolt. The Etek3 now has a Cure bolt as standard, as well as a body-contoured cut at the rear so the bolt blends seamlessly into
the marker body. The Cure bolt helps the Etek3 to shoot the most fragile of tournament grade paints without worry of breaks due to
the bolt clipping paintballs in the feed stack.
- New Direct Mounted Solenoid. An all new moulded solenoid Minifold mounts the ever-faithful SMC solenoid directly to the marker
body, directly adjacent to the rammer. There is now just a single hose taking the LP air from the LPR to the new Minifold. The new
Minifold is filtered for added protection of the solenoid from debris.
- S3 Inline Regulator. The S3 regulator features a self-purging device to ensure that the valve chamber is left empty once the tank has
been removed. Coil spring construction also means quick and simple maintenance with no washer or shim stack to loose or
incorrectly assemble. It also has exceptional accuracy and recharge rates. The things that are essential for shot-to-shot consistency
and accuracy at even high, sustained rates of fire.
- Adjustable LPR. With the same LPR found on the SL8r Ego, the Etek3 offers precise control of LPR pressure, without the risk of
accidental over-pressurization of the solenoid or rammer.
- Fully Adjustable Trigger. The trigger rides in a self-lubricating trigger holder that clips neatly into the frame. This, combined with the
magnetic trigger return mechanism, creates a smooth, positive trigger feel. It is adjustable for fore and aft stop as well as magnetic
return strength.
- 2-Piece Barrel – 14” 2-piece honed barrel with the distinct Eclipse reverse threading using the same interface as the Shaft2, Shaft3 and
SL barrels, making the Etek3 barrel upgradeable with the Shaft3 Upgrade pack. 0.693” rear bore is standard.
- Break Beam Sensor System. Using the same components and software as the Ego BBSS system, the Etek3 ensures that the marker is
excellent at preventing chopped balls in the breech. When enabled, the Etek3 will only fire once a ball has loaded into the breech. If the
BBSS system sees any kind of fault, the software automatically overrides the system and the marker continues to fire at a greatly
reduced rate.
- LED Board – 3 tru-color LED indicators. These 3 clever LEDs allow easy programming of all the user definable parameters by greatly
simplifying the programming process. The top LED indicates 10s of units, the middle displays 1s and the bottom shows 0.1
increments.
- Programmable firing Modes – Etek3 has user definable settings for Dwell, Ball-in-Place, Eyes Off ROF, Cap ROF (uncapped in Semi 1),
debounce, andfiring Mode. As standard the Etek3 has the capability to be set to cover every tourney regulation.
- Soft Grips. The new Etek3 grips follow the same design as the Geo and Ego grips. Comfortable, slim, grippy and soft.
- OOPS. The Etek3 uses the same On/Off/Purge System (OOPS) as the Ego10. It is easy to maintain, easy to turn, and dumps the air
from the marker when it is turned off. It mounts to the bottom of the Etek3 frames using the robust T-Rail slide system.
Etek3 Upgrades
- The LT Upgrade Kit. This basically takes the LT up to the same basic standard as the AM. It includes an all-metal frame, all-metal eye
covers and an all-metal feedtube assembly.
- Etek3 Emortal Board . The Emortal board is a fully-functioning LCD board. It uses the same 3-Button navigation console of an Ego or
Geo, has the same LCD interface as the Ego and Geo, and has much of the GUI of the Geo and Ego. The Emortal board will drop into
any all-metal Etek3 frame. So whether you have an Etek3 AM or Etek3 LT with optional Upgrade Kit installed, you can quickly and easily
slide out your standard circuit board, slide in the Emortal board, swap out the Pushbutton Console on the back of the frame, and away
you go.
