Love your video’s! They are so cool!
I have everything ready, just waiting on the 4K phone and LED to arrive. Very excited to get started!
Hi DIY Perks, Great Video! What would I need to do to make this an ultra short throw projector? I have a very small space and would like to put the projector at the base of the wall I'm projecting on... I already own a regular projector so would it be better to modify the one I currently own to be short throw?
Hellooo!!! Can you please make a video on how you can convert a PC hard drive into a portable HDD ???
Great timing, mate! I just came back to this video with the intention to rebuilding it and - tadaaaa - written guide available 👌😁
Really enjoyed this 28 minutes of something I'll never build
@Zenki X Lmaooo, underrated comment
I dropped a like on your comment more harder than this video
I'm actually thinking about making a 1440p projector. I've been thinking about something like this for a while now but I couldn't find a good and cheap screen. And the one he found is just perfect. Gotta love the effort he puts into his videos and projects.
lol 🤣
i really really love to build this, but i just dont have the materials and money..
Let's take a minute to appreciate how long it must have taken him to thread all the nuts and spacers through those rods
and some of them were self-locking so he had to use a wrench instead of the load and good fingers
@@ruimoura6234 clamp the rod into a drill and hold the nut...
@@Flowxing that´s how i would´ve done it, also its amazing how much time you can save with such a simple trick
it had to be nuts
@@Flowxing Don't forget that spinning the rod spins everything else attached to it. Once the rods were all tied together with that base piece you couldn't spin one of them without the next one spinning around to hit your arm.
This man actually made a pdf step by step how to make your own projector at home, this man is the kind of man who makes the world go round, GOOD JOB WHOLEHEARTHEDLY, GOOD JOB. You should be paid for this.
He is paid for this. He is paid very well in fact. Probably over $ 20 000 for this video including viewership money and sponsorship.

I just got this video randomly recommended, and I am completely floored by the fantastic projects you are showing and actually guiding step by step on how to make. Instant love to your channel, I promise to binge everything and build at least one thing myself.
I just want to take a moment to offer my sincerest thanks to Matt for his work. I share custody of my daughter and we've done a few of Matt's projects while she's with me, and doing so is one of the reasons we've grown closer. It's not easy being a single dad to a teenage girl, but the experiences we've shared while learning and creating something new has been a true source of joy for both of us. So, thank you Matt. I'm deeply appreciative.
To be honest this should be number one priority for every parent from day one. Making things together and learning new things in the process, developing that brain power, for kids evolving their brain in the right direction and for the adults keeping that brainjuice flowing. With it making those social bonds. Win-win for both parties. Instead of the modern day norm of the majority that where adults chase false dreams stressing out them selves and their children and their kids being neglected stuck on screens doing nothing watching who knows what and growing into lazy useless parasites.
damnit. i'm tearing up, u a good dad.
You're a freemason? Because of your yt-symbol?
This is also the type of thing I was thinking of for my kids and I - they're a bit young still, but I definitely want to get them into loving this kind of thing. Also - that's some solid fathering you're doing! Keep it going, I'm sure your daughter is benefiting from this beyond what she'd ever even realise.
I'm continually blown away by how professional everything you make on this channel is.
How you manage to create so many different things and always make it look good, function beautifully, and ever quiet is always incredible.
He's at 95% imo. Everything looks great and does the job tremendiously fine. But I always feel like theres a small 5% overhead to take his projects to OEM standards.
hard work
I really appreciate that you work all alone like recording, editing, building new things etc, hats off to you man ❤️
You rarely find channels with videos of great length worth watching the entirety. But this channel is so worth it.
This is awesome. Not just the end result, but the whole process of building it. I love projects that teach lots of skills along the way.
big fan of you
@@theindianallrounders thank you! Take care and stay healthy! 🌈

Many thanks from the bottom of my heart. Keep up the good work, peace.
I miss how old youtube used to work. You colud find all kind of DIY and science projects on it. It's one of the reasons why I went to engineering college. Your projects reminded me of how the things used to be on YT.

I wish I could communicate and talk as well as express my words as well as you can. The way you narrated this and made your audience as well as the people that brought all this together into one whole! My hat is off you all of you as well. real good. others saw this project I saw something else.

I think middle school physics covered that and high school went into more depth.
jholotan best ya, idk what middle school you went to but none near me went this into depth on anything. Dudes thanking the man for the opportunity to learn and you have to be a snob about it? Yikes.
@@CocaineCobain I think it depends on where and when you went to middle/high school.
Some modifications include ditching the phone completley and using the control board with ChromeCast, or Apple TV to utilize ScreenCast, or AirPlay. Worth noting that you need some HDMI ports if you want to connect your laptop to the projector. Also worth noting that you need some way to make like a standby mode by wiring some relays to the LED driver and a momentary power switch. And if you want a control over smartphone you can make Arduino setup with the WiFi shield.
I love how every Project is timeless an unique, no matter how often I look at them
I am interested in the bit where you replaced the battery with a small voltage regulator board - there is surprisingly little written about this kind of hack (or at least not that I could find) - I think 'hacking lithium powered devices to run off alternative sources' might be a worthy subject for a video of its own
the battery is just providing the phone with power at the required voltage and intensity that it needs to run. the voltage regulator board was used just so that he could change the power supply for something that doesn't "run out" of juice, such as the power outlet, allowing him to just plug it in. think of it as a transformer. i could be wrong though, research the topic for precise information
@MyBadStudios well i know ow you feel xd... after searching a bit though, you'll think of it as basic electricity (there's nothing basic about the board specifically) but it's pretty easy to understand how to set it up at least
wtf i love ur videos man!
Oh sheed! It's the scambaiter!
@MyBadStudios If you want to do something you need to invest time into it to learn. We wouldn't all be sitting on our lazy asses while watching free entertainment on our phones or computers if it weren't for all the people that did the research and invested their time into it.
In this day and age, you can learn everything needed for this project for free with the help of the Internet and youtube. 100% free I'll guarantee you.
If you're mentally not prepared to invest effort into something then the only reason you can't do it is you and your mindset.
it is very rare for a very smart person to deliver his knowledge perfectly to other people especially to those average ones who just enjoy watching DIY videos.
agreed I'm one of the many average people would never built this but I find it fascinating how smart and creative this dude is an his attention to details is really amazing. I was thinking how much he would achieve if he worked at high level engineering like in NASA or MIT
I got the same feeling. This guy is a GEM💎💎💎
..and for free.👍
This guy is a freaking genius! How does he do that?😮
When I was a kid my dad made the exact kind of thing at home. I think it was 2006 when he made it. He used parts from old printers and computers. Unlike the one in this video, it was huge. All the components were enclosed in a 5ft-tall box he made from MDF and plastic, and it had wheels so you could move it around. It didn't have any heatsinks, but instead used fans stripped from computers to circulate all that heat. The craziest thing is, he designed all this in Microsoft Powerpoint 2003, and the most high tech tool he used was a power drill. As a kid, I enjoyed watching him work on it. The only problem was that my mom absolutely HATED it, so it's been sitting in a closet for the last 15 years.

I love the concept and your ability to just start doing. I think you've come up with a relatively easy, and fundamentally sound design. I do have one critique on the design aspect though. And that is the build orientation. You state that the orientation is optimized for it's footprint, and I like that but from a heat and cooling standpoint it's upsidedown. Horizontal projectors have their main heat source expelling heat away from all other components. Where this build has the heat rising to the LCD which is sensitive to heat and will reduce the hours of elongated use. If you where to flip the build the only modifications needed would be to flip the screen orientation. But you would be expelling heat much better, this along with fans directly actively cooling the LCD panel would allow you to get away with a much brighter light source. I'm curious of your thoughts. I would also be interested in your take on using a old classroom overhead projector as a starting point since you obviously have an ingenious ability to repurpose old tech.
While I agree this would be more efficient thermally, clearly this design already works, because the upwards force of hot air is minimal compared to the large kinetic force of the fans. Also I believe the tower design proves much more convenient when it projects from the top-end, rather than the bottom.
I believe you may have slightly misunderstood, actually the fans draw air downwards through it, which cools everything respective of its position. Air is drawn through the heatsink last, and then expelled outwards through the bottom vents.
@@Savage-en1ms Exactly.
When you started talking about focusing, I got flashbacks to my time in high school photography, where I used an enlarger (my second favorite part of film photography).

Lol I made the hemispherical light panels a while back and it cost me a little over $400. Still don't have the right acryilic size as he never said. I think 1/32 will be the magic size, but haven't got around to buying it yet.
i haven't made anything but the el wire from one of his pc builds was cool so I bought some of that
Rufurbished my laptop camera and fixed headphoned thx to him. Cool builds but i’m not that big of an audio enthusiast or silence enjoyer so his projects are over the top for me. I enjoy building shed’s and houses and such. Still-he really inspired me to do more electronic stuff. Still havent figured out how to charge a battery from 6-27 V of vindmill DC but the more I wach the smarter I get lol.
@@sebastianjohansen2142 6-27V? You mean that as a range and than get a stable, say 12V? Use a buck boost converter. They're inexpensive but just watch out for your output current, you don't wanna burn them.
I went to do a diy projector in 2010 but never finished the project as it was about the time I had to move iirc. Still have the parts kicking around in storage somewhere; fresnel lenses, 13inch screen (can't remember if it was even 1080p - might have only been 720p back then), triplet lenses from overhead projectors, a massive 400W metal halide bulb and ballast. Had I completed it, compared to what Matt has built here it would have been double the size for a quarter of the resolution.
It's interesting seeing this done now with leds. I also remember the de facto diy designs back then sandwiched the display panel between the two fresnel lenses (rather than it positioned after the converging fresnel) and moved the final lens for focusing.
I just completed building the ultimate smartphone projector today which was uploaded by you earlier. I am so thrilled to see this video on this same day

I wonder what happened to Brainchild's Lumenlab but I used to be one of those kids who made DIY projector. BTW, you can do lens shifting by tilting the Fresnel lens.

@@luckyqualmi i did one out of an overhead projector build i got out of some MAKE style magazine when projectors where expensive and not very bright
A key concept here is Etendue. Light with a certain amount of Etendue has a limit to how small of an opening it can be focussed through, no matter how many lenses or mirrors you use. You can only sharpen it by discarding light from the light source. You need a low etendue high power light source for a good projector.
Stumbled upon this video while choosing a portable projector that i could use while camping.
Quite epic, instant subscribe!
For those interested if utilizing the $60 2k display shown at 12:03 and the cheaper led bulb in the description, the total build cost comes to around $280 plus tax. This price also goes up because you need an hdmi audio extractor to make up for the lack of audio out on these display boards(roughly $25 on amazon).
Did you like the quality or would you recommend a 4k screen? Also, how does the cheaper LED compare?
Cool, thanks for the research. That's some decent cheddar for more of an experimental project.
This is about £216 for anyone wondering
(£202 without audio)

absolute joy to watch and listen to you mate... have a great day!
I made one of these some years ago (not 4k) by taking an old 3M retroprojector and replacing the fresnel lens with a laptop screen and then adding another fresnel lens inside the machine before the bulb (note, i replaced the highly incandescent bulb with an LED projector grade one. I burnt the first LCD). It still works and is quite useful. Plus, it costed me only the new lens and the cost of the screen controller, which all in all was about one hundo. If you have one, it's worth it as it can then be refit inside the original case of the 3M which is actually decently small for what it is.
Thank you for this!
how can you fit a laptop display in it? don't you need a custom case for this?

I agree 100%. Seeing his genuine excitement and enthusiasm really brings up the enjoyment level. Part of the winning receipt in this case. I’m glad you commented on it. :)
"...Sony released a 4k phone..."
I have an XZ Premium so which is overheating because of the battery... you just gave me an idea what to do with it :O
I too have an XZ Premium lying around, working perfectly but I don't use anymore. So I might just try this myself as well!
I also have an old 720p Epson projector, I wonder if I can reuse its lenses for this... hmmm...
Hey, @MoSs - I have an old Epson projector too (EH-TW420 from ~2008, I think), with a defect light source, that's too expensive to fix, since it's outdated. Please let me know if you figure out something regarding refurbing the lenses of yours!
@@MoSs. U cant. 720p sensor(projector screen) will be 4x smaller than ur phones screen. So lenses will be also too small for that.
I had Z5 premium and same problem, but I still like sony phones
Actually the panel on the Z5 Premium is better for this project because the dpi is over 800. However the XZ Premium panel has HDR color gamut support.
Matt is like the Bob Ross of Tech DIY projects 🤣
Seriously impressive though. He actually manages to improve on commercial designs!
I'm in the process of turning my cheap $30 projector into a setup like this one.
By taking the expensive parts from the cheap projector you can make an even brighter projector with 2k resolution for about $150
Took apart the projector to see if this would be possible and sure enough, the lamp, power supply, and large format lense are just sitting there waiting to be used. All you need now is the fresnel lenses, the 2k lcd panel mentioned, and the focusing hardware. Spend as much or little as you want on the case and cooling and enjoy!
I admire people who are whatching this cause they're actually gonna build it
I'm watching it but probably wont make it haha
No one would. Hahaha
@@kodedjackson not true.
😂😂😂
I'm going to watch this, think about it for a while and then do something else.
Sometime in the far distant future I will imagine I actually made this. Memory is funny like that.
Will definitely try this. However, I’ll get my local machine shop to laser cut the panels. Should be a pretty straight forward assembly process there after 👍🏻
Tell us how it goes!
Yeah, the whole time I was thinking "wow, this project seems a lot more attainable than I was expecting, especially because I can just cnc all the parts, then it's just assembly." I definitely want to build it as well once i have some spare dollars.
Good luck buddy!
I could imagine this approx £500 or $, could be more or less. It's just a guess.
I have no idea if you were to buy a 4k LCD instead of Sony to control everything.
Can't you just 3d print it?
Take a bow, you’re extremely engaging and I find every minute of your video intriguing.
Mind-blowing project! Amazing job!!!
Hey when are you going to make a DIY Quantum computer?
Edit: Wow, nice thanks for the likes!
Lol
Out of aluminum, old computers, and a few leds no doubt.
I only saw this video of you. I saw the entire video as a child playing with a new toy. I have no words. Amazing video. Amazing edition. Amazing project. Amazing explanation. You just gave us a free gold mine. I finished the video and subscribed without hesitation. If I didn't say it already, Amazing.
Wow - truly and amazing DIY project!!
Best informative videos on RUclips my projector mirror glass is broken and I'm using normal mirror but normal mirror make ghost image then I was facing big problem and my projector is not repair I'm searching in RUclips and this video is really helpful for me I'm change the normal mirror glass to reflective glass and my problem is fixed thanks @DIY Perks
this man looks like he's perpetually happy
That's because he's always using his first DIY - a vibrating butt plug.
That's because he has over 2M viewers, and well deserved too.
That's because he's high AF. j/k LOL
I would too, with that kind of skill
That's because he's British
4:06 A light source with a spectral peak for each additive primary color would heat the LCD panel less or allow for a much higher saturation. The primary hues of the sRGB color space correspond to wavelengths of about 610 nm, 550 nm, and 465 nm. A CRI is a metric of similarity of a spectrum to black body radiation. If the color filter for each subpixel transmits only a narrow band of light, then any wavelengths outside of those bands will always be absorbed. If each color filter transmits a wide band of light and the source of light has a high CRI, then the colors will appear desaturated.
Sorry, I dont speak successful member of society
what does that mean for the build here? a different LED? color filters after the LED and before the lens?
.
They're just suggesting using an RGB LED that has red, green, and blue LEDs within the LED package that match the colour of the RGB subpixels on the LCD, instead of a white LED. By using a full-spectrum white light a lot of that light is blocked by the LCD panel since it can only allow red, green, and blue through it - so all the yellow, orange, violet, etc. that make up the white light are blocked (absorbed) and therefore wasted, and just end up heating up the LCD panel more. By matching the LED colours to the LCD colours one could use a brighter light since it would be more thermally efficient.
This will present more engineering challenges though. RGB LEDs have three separate LEDs in them, one for each colour, so it may be impossible to focus all three to a single point - you would get three points at prime focus. Therefore a better option might be three separate LEDs, one for each colour, and use a set of mirrors and a dichroic prism to combine them to a single point. You'll find those prisms inside many projectors, which also contain a set of mirrors, and usually separate LCDs for each colour.

@@TheResidentSkeptic Oh that explains commercial projectors really well, thanks for elaborating
Feels like I’m back in Science Class …I Love it…Great Work! I love learning stuff like this… good stuff 👍
I love the projector without the shell! Really want to do this now
Yesssss 16:54 the digitalrev tv soundtrack comes on when he talks about camera lenses!
This.
oh man tis been awhile
I was wondering why it sounded familiar :D
I have made DIY projectors in the past, and this is the best design with the best howto presentation I've ever seen.
Mind blowing!!!!! Bravo!
