can you take a pic of a bigger projected image, it looks kinda small.
other than that im liking your projector
is that a halogen bulb you are using

The results look good I am impressed. Does the image get any bigger? or does the light not put out enough for a larger screen.
It puts out plenty of light, I'm just runnning out of Room. That was from 10ft away from the screen. I'll try and take one from 16ft soon. I don't have very large rooms. The picture in the dark is a 41" image.
I got my projector at 66" and its really!! bright just the pixels are huge
Tbh the psone screens are worth every penny!!

You know one thing I'm really surprised at is how good the image quailty is. It's pretty wicked - my kids say. The best thing about it is that it's portable and can be taken outside or to a friends house.
P.S. I really believe that coating the inside of the case black really does improve image quallity due to the fact that you don't have stray reflective light.

I'm glad you pointed that out about painting the inside black, I wish I had done so with my first 15" pj just to help minimize the reflected light. That is a pretty long throw distance, what fresnels/lense did you use?
Yea I too think it looks great, especially for a PS1 screen! Would love to see some nice XGA resolution result shots, at like a 70" screen😀
Well done!

i'mworking on a similair projector using a 410watt 82 volt bulb, how did you drop the line voltage (110-120) to the bulb voltage (82)? I"m contemplating using a simple dimmer swith and a voltmeter to get the right voltage. just wondering how you did it and if theres another easier way.
Also was curious if heat was a big deal.
Btw, great looking pics and results.

you know what, someone just answered your question yesterday:
115V -> 82V with a rectifier and a transient voltage supressor
don't forget to tell us if you find where to buy the parts inexpansive.

Thanks for the compliments! But you guys are the ones that make things like this possible. When a ton of people get together, sharing ideas, anything is possible. Good Job Guys!
Total cost on the project was $150 and 4 days (nights only). Everything was cut with a miter saw (pain in the butt) and jig saw
Working on the schematics for the lighting (coming soon)
I used two Office Max 11 x 8.5 fresnels and a Lumenlab triplet lens.
Front Side mirrors were purchased at Surplus Shed (Awesome Place online). Everything else Ebay and Home Depot.

are these the fs-mirrors that you purchased? They are only 3" tall so I am thinking that they aren't. I had though about building this pj without folding the light, but after seeing your little project I think that I will fold it instead.
Those are exactly the one's I used. I used a side view mirror from Walmart automotive to reflect the light and the Surplus Shed FS Mirror to reflect the image - to the lens.
