Pics of my projector project...

This is basically a long list of photos of my projector, with a few comments for kicks.

The initial parts


The victim


The first stages of building the enclosure




Condenser Lense in mount (made from fan guards)




The Cut Fresnels and tempered glass


Custom mount I made for the Overhead light source with condenser mounted.





Power switch and plug mounted


The Back after painting the inside


Inside painted, stage mounted


Parts placed roughly in place


Pics of lcd (now junked)






Cold Mirror Mount




In box


Let there be light (fully lit room, camera auto adjusted it that dark)



The box with doors on


Failed attempt to power lamp (kept popping bulb)


Fans mounted (2 top to suck air in, bottom to exhaust)



All buttoned up, just need to install front triplet and lcd.


TRiplet installed.


The stage inside all lit up.


The projection, up cloes and overview.



And a final shot with my cat for scale.


Final thoughts. These were taken in daylight, so the image with an lcd shouls be very viewable in darkness. Though, by the quality of projection, you can see the issues with eyeballing everything. New enclosure to be built with proper measurements and real precision. This was a proof of concept.
