I have been itching to do a 10.6 Haas so here we go.
Parts:
Mini Haas 10.6 Enclosure
Johnzos 10.6 LCD kit
220mm FL Triplet
Focus ring
220mm FL field fresnel
220mm FL collimator fresnel
250w HQI bulb
250w E-ballast
cold mirror reflector
Lexan heat shield
80mm twin exhaust fans
power input plug
DPST power switch
10A Fuse and holder
Fan thermostat
this is going to be a split config so I can keystone it and because of the optics I can make this case very short, it measures only 20" long, 10.5" tall and 10" wide. its a tight fit in there but everything just fits. this is going to be built like a tank so it can withstand shipping as this prototype is for a member who donated the panel and main board for the build. besides this projector will be very portable. now for some build pics!
Full Version: Haas 10.6
first we need an enclosure:

Hi,
Sorry about the mini-hijack but would it be feasible to ship a box like this (just the box - -i have most the other parts) to the UK or would the shipping just be too much? I love your work and was just wondering....
Thanks,
Matt
keep us apprised please. i will be VERY interested in one of these cases, especially if it has easy keystone correction, and sled included for the LCD/fresnels.
i was thinking that you could make an easy gravity setup using a metal rod and 2 blocks drilled about 1 mm larger than the diameter of the metal rod. that would provide for good keystone correction i believe. but i do not know if there would be room for such a setup in that box. it is worth consideration though.
once you get the sled and everything all set up, please let us know once you have narrowed down the final cost of the box w/ sled.

well shipping between me and tes is not tha bad he only lives like 2-3 hrs away
Do you have any screen shots yet? That looks REALLY good!
no screen shots, just build shots for now.

That really looks fantastic. Hope you are going to start adding this to your inventory?
Yes, I will be adding this to my enclosures for sale. I have a lot of enclosure designs I just want to build each one first and make sure it works before I start to make them. wait til you see the next 10.6 enclosure design!

Is that the best way to do the triplet drain focus thingy seemed backwards to me. I might just have to try it out like that. Can you tell me why you did it that way. I cant wait to see what you make when the 7.2 panels are here.
I like the quality and style you put into your enclosures.
For a little feedback, I would prefer to see the fans enclosed.
I would think it would look and muffle any sound better.
Keep up the fine work.

i just got the pj up and running and it runs relly quiet well at lesat compared to my psone mini z
how soon can i get one of these ?
what do you want in it? just the enclosure and sled? do you have a 220mm triplet for it? let me know and I can give you a price, these are so much smaller then the other enclosures I make so it can be done quicker.
Yeah sounds good just the enclosure and sled I have all the standard lenses that I will cut down. Oh did I jump in front 
hey me first ......... lol
i need the enclosure and sled
could i have a price on it with the 220mm triplet and lenses as well
thank you
ps
im in rhode island for aproximate shipping cost ?
im ready to buy asap
oh one last thing .. im using a 410w ohp bulb in this case .. if you can do anything with the design to facilitate that .. great

i would like to get a price on enclosure, sled AND triplet please.
also, when you get slowed down a bit after the initial onslaught of orders, could you test a haas design with one of the 10.6 LED light boards? i am curious on if those boards would be worth using or not, because they could potentially shave alot of weight, heat and volume off the back of the enclosure, because you could potentially cut off the back end that is not being used for the bulb lighting setup anymore.
like i said, only do this when you get a chance, because it seems like it is a good idea on paper, but i do not know if it would be good enough in the lab.

hey how possible would it be to make hte throw longer? and is it even possible with the small enlosure like this? i will get screens soon just waiting on a new bulb this one is a 10k and is super washed out
j3yg:
We could change the 220mm triplet which should be throwing a 120" diag image from 8 feet to a 180mm triplet which will change the throw. The 180mm triplet and 220mm field fresnel will change the throw so you will have a 120" diag image from 13 feet. you will also need to bring the front fresnel forward so it is 180mm from the lens. as it is now the lens should be 220mm from the fresnel +\- 30mm for focus. ( this only works if we use a 5" PSone not a 10.6 ) I should have double checked the calcs for a 10.6".
I am going to add this model to my site. price and order info there. This one is designed for the 10.6" panel but there is no reason it couldnt take a Hami 8" or a 7.2" or even a PSone screen by changing the sled adaptor. also the design is flexible as far as the light engine, for instance if one were to use a panel consisting of LED's (avirnig) then the LCD panel could be placed farther back allowing for the use of a vari-focal lens or a 330mm triplet, due to the low heat output of LED's you probably wouldnt even need a fan or cooling system. we could even put a 250w single ended bulb rated at 5500K in there.
another option would be a 120v OHP bulb (jeffek) which would eliminate the need for a ballast just the way I did the light engine in the mini-Haas PSone, the fan would then go under the light section and not stick out of the back.

Nicely done Tescorp
I ran some test with 220mm triplet and a JBL 166mm triplet Your S15 220 was very impressive. liked it alot. 10.6 has alot going for it. I more than likely will not make a plog too many for this lcd. I wish you the best and as always more screen shots

Wow, very cool.
I really liked how you integrated the controller opening in the bottom. Will you just use wood like the top and bottom to seal it off?

Thanks everyone, I really like the way the projector turned out. funny how things turn out as you build them, the original design didnt have the stepped bottom for the main board inputs, originally I had planned to turn the board sideways to have the inputs on the side but it was too long so I scrapped the idea and came up with this way to mount it. I think it turned out better.
The enclosure is now on my site if anyone wants one. The 180mm triplet/220mm field fresnel is the way to go with this projector, 120" diag. image @ 13 feet from the screen if you are using a PSone screen, if you use a 10.6 you will need a 265mm Triplet for a 120" diag screen @ 11 feet. big picture from a compact enclosure.
Dazzla's focal calc has been a very useful tool in the design of the optics for this and my other projectors.

look how small this is compared to my Pro-V enclosure, and just think, these have the same throw!

Dude,
This enclosure is Sa-weet!
I love your designs. Will you be selling the plans for this one as well on your site, would love to buy the plans.

Would you be able to get a couple screen shots of a projected image comparing an OHP bulb with an MH bulb?
I was seriously considering purchasing an eVo but this smaller DIY option is looking more and more attractive. The option of not even having a ballast - even more so.
Will you be creating one for 7.2 inch screens soon?

soon as I get the replacement panel for the PSone and I do the AG strip and brightness mod I will put up some screen shots.
This enclosure will fit a 7.2" panel in it with a different adaptor sled. one enclosure fits all! just change the internal parts.
