JoeS.

Dude - you are soooooo welcome.

Now spell my name right next time. :angry:

Whoops! Sorry

It's really a great thread. JoeS.

Linked to new drawings of pro and standard triplets.

Wow....this has all come together very nicely, well done Durachko. I will definately be using this to build my second projector, very helpful. Were you a moderator before you started this or after?

Thanks. If it helps one member out it's been worth it. I believe I was invited for modship after this topic was pinned.

Added overclocking and pre-condenser links/info.

Also added a ceramic lamp note and a link to member elken's topic.

Blew the dust off this topic and added links to that hot, stacked, American Indian woman animation, etc.

I get a little dizzy every time I view that one dancing animation. Kinda like a soft-porntoon.

Absolutely must be "hard coded" into the LL "mind".

That is the perfect reference, and also explains the PRO lens and what is happening etc too... Perfect.......

It is possible that a few pro lenses have some issues. Members elken2004 and DAZZZLA boldly went where no man had gone before and tweaked their lenses.

Details of this may be found here. (Link also added to first post in this topic.)

But my brain is already full.

Added link to Arizonavideo's new projector.

Added a reference to three popular video calibration packages.

Eliminated link to the now defunct DIY Projector Company. (Thanks paladin.)

Eliminated the section "Sourcing Projector Components".

Adding link to the newest strippable monitor list.

Wow, this sure has come a long way! You did a damn fine job on this Durachko, and just thought I'd give you a

Definately the one stop shop for anyone who plans on building a DIY projector in the near future.

Thank you Litherish.

Added links to the new pre-built projector.

DIDNT SEE IT IN THE THREAD BUT THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE ADDED:
fresnels should be cut (if you are cuting them) 20mm to 30mm larger than the viewable lcd. Because on the egde of the cut you get some kind of different refration. Heres tescorps guide to cuting them. http://www.lumenlab.com/forums/index.php?s...111&st=120# here is the same link but is renamed. FRESNEL CUTING GUIDE

also maybe you can add some thing about the ''glowies'' issue. If you need help i can just ask.



THANKS Durachko YOUR THREAD IS GERRRRRRRRRRATEEEEEEEEEE!

Thank you, thank you, all-seeing-eyeball. I'll incorporate that info into page one sometime.

Incorporated JackyChan's suggestions from above.

Jacky: Great idea about glowies. Would you care to write something up and post it here or create a new topic and I'll link it? Whichever you want. Your contributions are very, very welcome and much appreciated.

HDTV via HTPC is much better than other video sources.
One side of LCD affords better result than another, which is a drawback to lumenlab design. (some people don't believe me or are reluctant to admit this.)
The tempered glass is not necessary when the room temperature is below 80F.
A precondensor lens may help the brightness and even lighting.
Keep things simple, vertical, parallel, alligned. Don't use your eyes only, use tools.
Only use first surface mirror.
The distance between lenses, glasses needs to be adjusted, don't get it fixed according to calculations.
These are I learned from building two projectors.
[/quoteHelp! I can't get a FS Mirror. Will using a regular glass mirror totally ruin it? (I am in India and mirror guys haven't heard of FS Mirrors yet. They asked to check back by 2050).

Added a top-of-my-list link to ozstang65's new thread "Help Me Help You". You can click it here and it's also linked in the first post of this topic. Great piece of work!!!

edit: The dangers of nyquil


As these pictures are from what can be perceived as two different paradigms let alone the angle of the triplet its hard to tell what your looking at, or exactly what your looking for.

If your of like mind and have some time you may study the photos in eager anticipation awaiting that ever elusive epiphany or "A HA! " if you will.

What epiphany? Why the very one we all seek - the one of discover and understanding. What understanding can be had at the expense of the readers time and server storage, not to mention the time it take to put this to keyboard?
What we have at hand is a Shakespearian drama perhaps a sad end to our protagonist or perhaps a glorious awakening as it emerges fresh from the cocoon free from the chains placed upon its potential.

Only time will tell, and that too is based upon your paradigm. I perceive that the risk of ag strip may not be worth the risk, ah but wait, with greater risk come greater reward you say? Perhaps, however I already have my reward a working projector and as for the risk?

Having gone over the pictures I perceive no more then this; I perceive a triplet who photo was taken from what appears to be different angles and any light spillage will be moot at that point. Appearances may be deceiving however perception is 99% of our reality, which are focused though our paradigms - which are the lenses through which we perceive reality and make it our own.

What can be had at the expense of all involved? Education, learning and the knowlage that to each thier own paradigms are correct and with out fault - so in the end you are both correct.

How much Nyquil have you been taking?

Hmmmm . . . whatever did happen to member Telephone Cleaning Wipes anyway?

enough. I needed to get some sleep, as I didnt have any the night before and slept perhaps for 2 hours.
