PS1 Projector 5"

[GUTS]

do you think the outcome was worth the money you spent on it?

 

[Ranjit]

its defenatly worth the outcome extremely cheap n ezy its the lazy man's DIY projector becuz 90% of the works is dun 4 u with a slide projector, i just gotta rip sum gears out n put the lcd in n secure it, i recommend on making a frame out of tinfoil for the lcd because its rly ezy to use and reflects 100% of the light with no heat problems, just double or even quadrople it up 2 make it sterdier and thicker, also some electrical tape which can handle high temperatures. i have some results from mine ill posts them in a bit

 

[Ranjit]

and thats witht he hip gear, not bad at all. Im actually thinking about getting anotherone because not only was it easy to make, but really fun. It took manybe 3 hours the first time doing it, and not event that much time the next time around. Although I do want to start working on my biggest dream ever, HD projector! Now that would take some thinking and time, but think of the outcome. And think about this againi m only 15 so it will take a bit to save up, but just think of the outcome!

[GUTS]

i bid on a really nice overhead projector on ebay, if i get it i'll probably get an LCD panel and do it the easy way

 

[rob1231]

[GUTS]

[rob1231]

[GUTS]

will do! i won the sharp qa 1650 today for $114 shipped should come in within a week or so and i've got this really awesome idea where i'm gonna mount the projector to the wall on the side of the room but i'll see how that goes and post some pics

 

[GUTS]

so i bought this projector

and this lcd panel

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8812382470&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT&rd=1

and the projectors lightsource in on top so it is not shining through the lcd panel at all. damn damn damn, what would you guys do????

 

[Mikey p]

You have a couple of choices. You can sell the reflective OHP and buy a transmissive one. Or you can strip the one you have and use the parts to make your own projector box. The one you bought uses and EYB bulb which is 82 volts, 360 watts, 3300 color temp and 10,000 lumens. Lamp life is 75 hours.

 

[rob1231]

im a little confused at to how that works. Could you explain to me. I have no clue as to how anything would get projected off that.

 

[Mikey p]

Reflective OHP. This is where the bulb is contained in the head of the projector and the base consists of a thin reflective mirror. The light shines down and reflects the image back up and through the lens.
Transmmisive OHP. This is where the bulb is positioned underneath the glass surface and the light shines upwards through the lens.

 

[rob1231]

but ontop there, their is another lens that can project it out on the wall? So he can do the same way as a normal ohp design?

 

[Mikey p]

Yes. The lens projects the image the same on both types. The only difference is where the light source is. Look at the pics here to see how a reflective type works. The second last pic shows the light shining downwards.
