ANDY-FV005 10.4" Toshiba @ 250W HQI-TS - Page 7

jaws2421 · 21st June 2005, 08:12 AM

Hey Slize,
Kick *** proj. I have many similar parts and was wondering on the size of your condensor lense (aspheric condenser correct?). Surplusshed has one that is 1.75"in dia. with a 1"FL (approx 25.4mm). You think that would work well?

slize · 24th June 2005, 03:39 PM

na i think it won't work, because the FL is too short; it would almost paralellize the rays of light, because of the short FL...

you'll need a FL of at least 100mm; my condensor has a FL of 120mm...

Heh, i was wondering...What If i took my single lens objective from my ohp and flipped it. It might work but it has a FL of 295mm facing the correct direction. Im gonna try it out anyway. Just received my lens triplet and frenels from lumenlab, thanks for your input.

All I can say is wow! I own a commercial LCD projector, and I must say that your design is much better than that of my projector. Very well done. I always kind of chuckled when I saw the homemade contraptions people have build. This opened my eyes wide! Amazing build! This is the best DIY LCD projector I've seen thus far. Also very sleek and discrete in size compared to other homemade projectors. Not half bad quality either. Great work and enjoy your custom projector!

Hi Andy,Can you give me some specs on your unit.Iam trying to get parts at local flea markets and used parts stores.This is my first time into building a projector Art

jaws2421 · 15th January 2007, 10:42 PM

hehe Im suprised the forums gave me an email saying someone posted here

, been over a year. Hi lyngvar, the parts and such are dependant on what your ultimate design is intended to be. Some useful ideas to keep in mind are: The focal length refers to the distance necessary for the lens to the item (lcd, another lens, etc...) in order to accurately focus the real image and not cause a virtual/magnified result. Im not sure on the ballasts since I haven't been on here in a long time, people were all raving about 1000W Metal halides

. These guys may have stuff you need
