DIY Cintiq Part 2

- This is the second part of my DIY Cintiq build. I've successfully combined a Wacom Intuos3 drawing tablet with a 21.5 inch HD monitor.
This isn’t a how-to so much as a How I did. I post this only as a video diary of my experience with this project. You may or may not have similar results if you try this on your own. Do so at your own risk.

This may be old, but it's extremely well done and easy to follow. I intend to make one myself. The only issue I see is the LED strip on the bottom appears much brighter where it is, so I might cover that up with electrical tape or paint or something, and in software make it so that the the resolution doesn't include the bottom 10 pixels or so. This seems professional, because of the voiceover quality and whatnot. Thanks again :>
Thank you for your kind words. I would have liked to have the original LED strip, which would have been better. But, since it broke, I had to improvise. Good luck if you choose to build one.
Is the size of the graphic tablet should be the same size of display i mean can i bring any size of screens or i have to bring same size and thank you
Does the monitor you use support touch screens or not? I want to make it too but my monitor is not touch screen is it possible?
Tell me bro
@@laxoneoz102 yes, the cursor is moved using the intuos 3 tablet, not the display
@@laxoneoz102 of course it would be interesting to see a diy touch screen pen display
god i love the intuos 3.
Me too!
I did it with 17 inc lcd screen mause got flickering
Do you have to use aluminum tape
There may be other options. I've hated using the aluminum tape, but it shields against the electromagnetic interference to the tablet caused by the monitor. Without that shielding the tablet doesn't work properly.
@@RyanHaworth Now this explain why my cursor move akwardly with the pen on dead lcd. I use xp pen artist and new laptop lcd, will it work?
Does the digitizer somehow work like a radar, bluetooth or wifi to the pen? because then if the pen wasn't in direct contact with the digitizer, what would enable them to connect to each other and determine the position of the pen?
Jackson Shelton good question. I'm not 100% on the full techbicalities, but on the digitizer is a gridwork of copper lines that send out electromagnetic signals. If the pen gets near enough to reflect-it doesn't have any internal power, but can reflect the signal-the digitizer interprets that to know position and pressure. It's kind of like radar, but only for reflecting that signal. You could use a regular pencil and paper to draw on the tablet face and it wouldn't recognize that as a signal to the digitizer.
It puts out an electromagnetic field and uses a bunch of sensors to determine where that field is being messed with by the copper wire coiled up in the pen.
Nice videos my man. I like how you narrate it step by step and don't waste time. I'm constantly hacking everything too. haha. Not trying to burst your bubble, but if the only reason you made this was for a cheap alternative for a wacom display, for the amount of money you spent you could have got an hp pro x2 612 g1 or g2 which has a 15? or 13? inch wacom ems display and is a decent spec'd 2 in 1 laptop/tablet thats upgrade-able. I got mine for $200. from a pc recycler thats local to me (REPC) which is better than just a display IMO. I use my hp zbook g4 that doesnt have wacom or touch screen for its power and use my hp pro x2 612 g1 with hp's zboost remote graphics sender to remote desktop from the wacom to the workstation its a great setup since I can leave the workstation plugged in where ever and the wacom one has better battery life and is more portable. But if you were just building this because you wanted the project, I feel ya. I'm wanting to do this myself now. Anyways have a good one.
I was originally trying to save money and just see if it was possible. Now that there are more cost-effective options, I don't think I would do it again. Besides, the tablet is 16 years old. It doesn't quite function as I'd like.
@@RyanHaworth does it use emr or aes pens? because i know emr you can adjust the frequency of the pen by taking it apart and turning the little variable resister/tiny potentiometer. which may help with the way it's registering / jittering.
sooo im wanting to do this because why not lol how bad was paralax from pointer to pen?
Yeah, why not? Well, it's almost cheaper to get a knockoff tablet display if there's a chance you will brick a monitor or tablet. Wacom 16HD Creative (at $650) is just about triple what I spent without any of the issues I have. You can see how it is in my final video... ruclips.net/video/KgE5p-a2jZM/видео.html However, this was before I properly set up the bounds in the Wacom software. It's a bit better than that now. It's not perfect, but about what you'd expect from a 15-year old tablet that wasn't intended to work like this. The issues I have now are related to screen resolution compatibility and I still have issues with interference near the bottom (by the LED strip) and the top (by the LCD power and picture control ribbons).
soo wait all u did was place the green pad thingy behind the screen and that is how it worked?
A little more involved than just that, but yeah. I had to shield the components and remove parts of the monitor that cause interference. The rest of the build goes through part 5. In those videos I mention some of the issues I had.
How Much Would This Cost?
I spent less than $400 USD for this. If I were building today. I would have saved a little more for a Huion or something else cheaper than a Wacom Cintiq. As it is, I'm having trouble with jitters, and the screen isn't as good as three years ago. I'm going to upgrade with a Huion.
@@RyanHaworth I assume you still learned a lot from making it atleast?
@@HS-eq3gk Certainly. And I still use it on occasion. I haven't gone with a Huion or Wacom or anything else. I"m using another huge Intuos 3 without a screen.
@@RyanHaworth Ryan Haworth that's great man, I was thinking of doing some kind of a review (on youtube) of the intuos 3, as there are basically none lol.
I got the A4 sized one, the PTZ 930 and its a huge (literally) upgrade from the intuos draw I was using which was smaller than A5. best of all it only ended up costing me £16
The grip pen is rlly nice as well.
I think maybe for beginners, amateurs or hell even professionals on a budget the Intuos 3 is a really good option
encase I do make a review what are some of the things you like best about the tablet?
you should have waited for ipad pro + pencil :)
Yes, that would have been nice! However I spent less than $400 US on this. iPad Pro and Pencil started a few hundred dollars higher on WiFi, and I'd have wanted more memory. Anyway, I got a much bigger tablet in the end.
yeha that!! sounds reasonable :)
That doesn't even compare to a real art tablet. lol
