Hey guys!
just wanted to let you all know that i finally finished my projector and the results are jaw dropping!

and btw the images are projected on a PINK wall and...i dont have a reflector in there...after painting the wall and adding a parabolic reflector the brightness is literally going to double.

but even without all that the quality is qutie stunning!

EDIT:
as for the projected screen size is from 70"100+" depends on what im doing...

i prefer having it at 70" when watchin movies as the sofa is quite close to the wall....

Well, done! I just got my pro-lens so it will be a couple of months away for me.

wow that looks sick. but you know you have to get a fifth element shot so it's official :P

After prolong procrastination, I just started mine (under arctan): http://www.lumenlab.com/forums/index...howtopic=13531

I hope to be up and running in two weeks.

That's looking really good Darth:)

How long has it taken you to do what you have so far? Once you actualy began that is:P

I still haven't decided what type I want. I am leaning toward vertical, but tall like a pillar or something. I geusss it depends on when I begin and if I still live where I am now.

I like the idea of having my couch and love seat set up at a 90 degree angle and have the pillar set between them aiming to the center of in front of both.

Let me know how the pro lens comes out too:)

Well, I spent about 4 months trying different designs on paper. I just did not like the length of a straight path design. So far, it's been about 3 weeks into this build. I know... I'm a slow builder. I give an update upon mounting the LCD.

woot. getting back to colder weather so i'll set mine up again. gonna make it work better this year. maybe split the fresnal and set up a curtain so i can get the whole screen in perfect focus :01:
