Assembling my second DIY lightboard

With the 2020 pandemic, I was now working from home and did not want to travel to the college just to use the lightboard. Thus I build a second one at home. The second board is smaller and built with 10 mm thick, 36x24 inch, ultra-clear, untempered glass, and came in just under $350 total cost.
This video shows how I assembled it.
Material:
Glass 36 x 24 inch (Ultra-Clear), thickness 10 mm
LED-Strip (10m, warm white)
General use electrical tape
Wood
The first, larger lightboard with Plexiglas can be found here

De nada

Love your project. Could you do one for horizontal setup? Also, do you use special market or just ordinary marker would work too?

[@StefanBracher]

Hi, the orientation does not matter, when putting it vertically I would be careful to not tilt it over as the brackets might be too small to resist the push when writing (a nice physics question for the students ;-) ). Ordinary markers do not work that well, I used the Expo Neon Markers.

I want to mount my lightboat. Take a doubt: the edge of the frame has to be transparent to pass the LED light or with that green finish on the edges can the LED light pass?

[@StefanBracher]

The light has to get in from the edge. Transparent is best, maybe light green finish also works.

Great video, how much did your project cost. Why do the commercial ones cost so much,. I mean like $4000!!!! When all it seems to be is ultra glass with LED lights. Is ultra glass that expensive? Does it break easy?

[@StefanBracher]

Hi, total cost was in the low hundreds... So far no breaking. The main difference to the "commercial" ones might be the size.

How do you make the brackets to hold the board up? I’m struggling with that.

[@StefanBracher]

I built my own wood-brackets (not the metal shelf brackets most other people use). I screwed them very tight, squeezing the glass, and the legs are quite large (to prevent tilting when the cat tries to push it over...) See ruclips.net/video/JgvB0AQikYQ/видео.html

Which type of glass you used s ordanary or tempered glass

[@StefanBracher]

Not tempered, but ultra clear (see stefan.bracher.info/lightboard.php )

@@StefanBracher sir thank you

[@gad2302]

The fast foward makes lost the details. I would like to exactly how do you setup the lights.

[@StefanBracher]

You can play it slower ;-) Basically I out the LED strip inward facing on the edge of the glass, attaching it with electrical insulation tape.

[@arjunhari5244]

Sir can you share the thickness of the glass and size please??

[@StefanBracher]

Hi, the glass used was 36x24 inch, 3/8'' (10 mm) wide, ultra-clear untempered glass with seamed edges and round corners.

Hi how you fixed mirror during live class as students seen the words mirror in live class

[@StefanBracher]

OBS flips the image: ruclips.net/video/w0YfThXmAzU/видео.html

[@Jamesthkchm]

@@StefanBracher is there is any option to flip without using obs from iPad Pro as obs is not in iPad similar to the window version please help I m in deep trouble

[@StefanBracher]

@@Jamesthkchm I don't know... you'll have to find an app das works on Ipad then.

[@Jamesthkchm]

@@StefanBracher did the web camera will work for mirroring

[@StefanBracher]

@@Jamesthkchm OBS takes the WebCam input and mirrors it (plus other cool stuff you can do like changing the background), and then outputs it as either a virtual WebCam, or as a "windowed projector" that you can then screenshare (I would recommend that later option as the resolution on screenshare is so much higher). Just use your main computer for the class. (You can even use the Ipad as a remote camera in). Maybe the software you are using has an image flip setting too...it should be pretty standard now.

That piece of glass must have been hella expensive! I priced out a piece of ultra clear (low iron) and that was only 3 ft x 4 ft and they quoted me a price of $1097 with shipping being $780! And I think your measuring tape must be off... because there is NO WAY that piece of glass is only 3 ft x 2 ft... that's more like 5 ft x 4 ft (if not bigger)

[@StefanBracher]

The glass is 3x2 ft (I am 6 ft tall in comparison) and was at a reasonable price (replied with details by email)

[@pnkjverma2634]

Which type of Marker did u use in this video???

[@StefanBracher]

Hi, I use the ExpoNeon markers. The trick is to have the LEDs shine into the glass to make the writing light up.
