The S15 lenses are on there way.

Your item left the United States from KENNEDY AMC at 7:29 pm on June 09, 2006

Hoping to get them this week.

Can't wait to start building.

Ahhh, the anticipation! I got so ansy I went out and bought a ton of foamcore and built a mockup box. By the time my final parts came in I was ready to get started on the wood. I've made a few cuts the other day, but I halted to figure out the wiring and placement to see if I need to make my box longer. Good luck on your build!

Is this a good panel?

Does anyone now if there is an antiglare and on wich side it is
becouse i cant see one and the to sides of the panel look the same for me.

Already thanks.

IT seems like no issues on that monitor I think it will work.

About the to sides looking the same maybe u have AG on both sides....

U get any reflection on either side?



or this?

I'm not sure, wil sent more picture's soon,

taxipost was here today, whit my lenses,
but I wasn't lol, they are comming back tuesday, 22/06

Now bissy whit the desing of mij tft holder,

i think i'm going to try it just like it came out of the panel,

if its realy bad picture, i can always remouve the anti glare.

wiii, i have recieved my lenses,
now starting at the frames,

how can i see the differens between the to fresnels??

Welcome Benny!
Here it is. http://www.lumenlab.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1561

Ok, its going to be big!!

the lamp is working,
here you can see
how its done

Made some mdf frames,

for the tft and the fresnels.

frames are little to big for what they are needed,
so this explanes why its going to be big.

no need for text.

Nice work, Benny. It looks like a nice clean installation so far (except maybe the fingerprints on the panel).
Seriously, though: that's a nice, neat looking wiring job.

Very nice! going to look great when done!
Dont forget to gently clean the lcd before adding anything else!
Good luck!

it was just a quick picture, to show how far Iwas,
this week i'm going for more fans,
have one, don't think this can cool te box.

How many do i need,

1.2.3...

help me

ps;cleaning is for later

depends on how much cubic feet per minute they move...100 or more is recommended I think(not sure the metric equiv
cleaning? nah, who needs it....

the are standard 80mm.

my gues is you'd need probably 3.... figuring 80mm might push about 30 cfm?

edit: unless you already have the 80mm on hand(I know I've got 2-3 laying around probably better to get one good 120mm.....

Yeah very clean indeed. Though, I wonder why you have the threaded rods going all the way through the front panel.

dont now what you are saying Mohanned.
Sorry, english is not so wel.

Does any one now why my fans are running faster one a 9.6V adapter?

I'm just going to let them run for a couple of hours,
If the are still running then, it should be OK? NO?

Hi Benny.

Not sure what you are saying... If you have a 12v fan running on a 9.6v adapter, the fans should be running slower, not faster. This will decrease the rating on the fan. It should be ok, but you will be moving less air, and therefore require more fans.

Can you list the information (make/model/ratings) from the fan ? (or better to take picture and put it here ?)

cheers,

OK did a first test, so far so gooed, color was good, but i had a round circle, i think the fresnels are upside down.

OK problem solved,

did a second test and the quality was SUPER!!
Never Think i could have this quality, going to post some pictures,

does anyone now what to do if your projected image is inside out
becouse of the mirror i use.

Its also 180° turned.

Here is a foto of the first test,

its 2 meters wide.

pretty good no?

Nice , but maybe you could post a picture with you standing next to the projection .
The images are a little blurry is this due to the camera ?


Translation for Benny :

Ziet er cool uit k krijg ook al zin om er een te bouwen , maar misch kan je is een foto posten waar jij naast staat . Op die manier kunne we is zien hoe groot dat het scherm is !
Ligt het eigenlijk aan de camera dat de projectie wat wazig is ?

its a problem to stand next to it, its on te seiling. lol

cant fly. The quality is very good!! Not so good on the pictures because
i didn't use pauze.

Nederlands; Ik projecteer op het plafon omdat ik nog geen spiegel heb en een gele muur,
dan is de kwaliteit zeer slecht, moet ook nog iets vinden om scherp te stellen. hield het objectief
met de hand vast.

Does it realy make a difference to paint the inside black,
what sort of difference ?

does anyone now what to do if your projected image is inside out

Most people end up turning the LCD around, or inverting it, depending on whether it is a horizontal or vertical folded design. I don't think there was much luck finding an easy software solution, but new video drivers could contain these types of options, it's just a matter of if they do... none do at this time (that I know of), so turning/flipping the LCD is the choice at the moment.

cheers,

ok but is hard to do that, its almost ready, think i'm going to use it for a while like this, just without the subtitles.
just need some good idea for focusing. and ready to go!!

Does it realy make a difference to paint the inside black,

well, it cuts down on reflections inside the box which can wash out the picture somewhat, but honestly, I've never done it and the pj works fine... but its not a bad idea...

is it possible to use an ordanery mirror to reflect the immage?

It's possible, but a front side mirror is generally reccommended because a regular mirror can cause a bit of a double image and a loss of brightness. There have been a few people who have used regular mirrors with good results, though.

now using a simple mirror,

here you can see the result,

the corners are a little darker,
how can i solve this?

how hot is to hot for the fresnels and tft??

please help

thanks

it was to hot!! 40°c or 105°F

Now ad the lexan and the temp stays between the 33°c and 35°c

Benny,

Gutten Tag!,

If the the image is on the ceiling in your bedroom, then it should not be a problem. It could make watching the movie very comfortable.

Benny,

For a better light spread, you should use a precondesor lens to spread the light out more evenly before it passes through the LCD. A good plog devoted to this is by: SIM's 2nd - vertical bulb, 18" triplet & precondenser .

Your picture image looks better, but still not very clear would you agree? or is it fine for you?
If it is a little blurry to you, then also make sure your mirror is not too far away from the LCD. If it is too far away, the cone of light will be fixed on a small section of the mirror, and a double image (ghosting) could result. If this does occur, it is because there is a flaw in the mirror where the light is reflected. The flaw is then magnified when projected onto the wall. To correct, move the mirror closer to the LCD. The picture image will then be spread over a larger section of the mirror, reducing the effect of the flaw to the final image on the wall.

A nice plog to read that covers THIS issue is " Fantatron 7 ver. 2, 17"widescreen, folded, pro lens/reflector"? Start at post #47 on page 3, where the image finally becomes clear...the solution was moving the fs mirror closer to the lcd.

I hope I helped!
