So I made some drawings of stuff I want and soon I’m going to make a proper one for the complete box.
But first I need to come up with a lightbox etc, bulb/reflector moving system, the whole works.
Now I can get a 100mm reflector instead of my 70mm reflector, its a bit bigger will I get more light out of my beamer cause the way it is now I think its too dark.
Okay guy's. Got a little update on the work, made a small layout of the box. (not going with a haas design though).
I’m trying to make a setup that can be adjusted a lot! But I don’t know where to put these "adjust zones".
On my beautiful drawing you see 2 blue boxes. In the first box the first and second Fresnel can be adjusted, and the TFT screen. In the second blue box I can move the triplet.
The two purple bars are the holders for the Fresnel’s, they are about 10mm width. In the middle is the TFT screen, of course.
Here is a close-up from the "tuner" system I’m making in the beamer.
Im going to make a small hole in the side (or top) of the box. Through that will stick a small piece of metal what enables me to move the Fresnel/tft screen forward or backward. To tighten it i'll use some screws.
Prolly going to make the frames on a sliding mechanism.
Soon some picture's instead of talk and (bad drawings
).
Here is the drawing I made for the frames I’m making for the Fresnel’s. Looks simple, what it is.
The blue box is the Fresnel, the brown bars is the (wooden) frame. Which will be made of 3mm MDF, I’m making it clamp and put 4mm width wood in between which will support the Fresnel.
The purple bars are a piece of metal, it will stick out the box through the "tuner" system. So I can move it a bit, at the ends will be some screws to tighten it.
The little grey bars on the top and bottom will be the slides in which the frame will be put to slide more easy.
I also cleaned up this topic, a bit useless to keep making new posts
. And even made a name for the beamer, I'm calling it,
The Slider!
Again a small update with some pic's I made. Its for closure one the railing system on the side of box.
As you can see the box can flip 90 degrees. This way I can easy move the bolts + wire and then close it so no light comes out of the box.
I also decided to go with the measures I took. And last, thingstodo part has been updated with some more detailed stuff.
Today I'm going to make my triplet focus box, should not be that hard.
//edit. Small update on my fresnel frame's. The idea with the slides is still here, I expanded it with some foam!
The green bars your see are small pieces of foam, why you ask? Well I think that in the system I am using I need a small gap between the frame and box. Otherwise it won’t slide (smooth). I think if I use foam I can fix this and keep the light from coming sideways.
//edit2. (god, love short work days!). I've been looking into my "layout" again and I saw (what I think) is a flaw. In my first layout I didn't add the distance between the fresnell's and screen and some other things. I did now and should have a better setup.
Also added a "box in box" focus system for the triplet. I think its going to be on rails and screws like the frames.
What do you guys think?
