    BlitzWolf have sent me their BW-MP1 projector for a review and I rather like it. I had some problems with uneven focus, but the electronics are very well made. It was lacking a bit of power in comparison to good ol sun, but I'll take of that!

    Hey Marco and everyone! If you have the same problem regarding the uneven focus in corners, i have a found a solution, kind of. Due to the weight of the lens, when you try to focus it, the lens wants to "hang down" due to gravity, which makes focusing corners tricky. As you have seen it on 0:55 , there is a gap between the lens and the projector lens housing(these cheapo projectors do not have a bracket that holds the lens in a stable position). So to eliminate that, you could add a piece of paper to the gap, to make the lens stable enough for focusing. Thanks Marco for making my day great again.

    I have a similar projector, that also has the “universal surface schmoo” (glue on the inside near the mirror) my best guess is that this is to capture dust & hair that might get sucked in through the ventilation.

    Have you considered the rotating mirror and laser diode assembly from a laser printer to expose PCB's. The LD would need to be to be changed from IR to UV and one would need a Y stage to index to the next line. Got a couple of scanner assemblies to try one of these days. I have seen very impressive results doing this with a laser diode mounted to an ink jet carriage. Scanning on a 75mm sq board took about 20 minutes. The LCD scanning does sound interesting if one can get push enough UV power through the LCD and solve the focus problem. The altern ative is to just make a photo plotter, use wet processing photo film to make high contrast masters for sensitized boards. Guess I should look at the published date before posting.

    Is there a cheap LED projector, usable for facade guerilla beaming? Maybe with an LED exchange. With the brightest buyable LED?
    Then maybe a mod of the lens, for a larger projection distance.
    I could use a 4500 ANSI-Lumen Sony Sony VPL-CW255, but it need 325W. For mobile use, it should be operated with a battery for a few hours.

  • @Qui-9
    @Qui-9 2 года назад

    I didn't understand what you're talking about regarding UV...
    One thing you must be careful about when considering boosting brightness is to not fry the LCD. It's not only the LED that needs cooling. I've seen a few projectors eventually get a permanent brown stain in the image because it wasn't cooled well enough on stock units. You'll need more airflow to it also.
    Also, your contrast in the bathroom after boosting has absolutely nothing to do with your light source. The LCD determines the contrast if the driving electronics and optical pathway are unchanged. Did you let LED light leak around the LCD and optical elements? The darkest areas of the image are obviously ambient light. Try it again in a dark room.
    Otherwise great video!

    Hi there, greetings from Italy ;) I have a white, non-labeled version of that thing. Mine doesn't have the antenna, so no wi-fi connection. It's awfully noisy. Tried to modify it removing the fan and liquid cooling the led backplate... but doesn't work: the led says cool ofcourse, but the beams it emits somehow overheats and deforms the lcd screen, resulting in a dark blob on the wall after a while. If let cool down, everything gets back to normal and the projectors works fine again. I discovered that the fan somehow draws air from the tunnel where the lcd screen is sitting, cooling it.

    • @_DSch

      the lcd needs also cooling, because the energy from the light needs to go somewhere when there is an black pixel ;)

    I would not recommend using it as an UV projector for PCB's, because of the many filters inside(including lcd's filters) that cut considerably on UV emissions. You should try a dlp projector which can be modified without any filters. Nice video

      I'll second that from investigating for photographic purposes: glass isn't all that transparent in UV. Might help if you could find a way to replace the standard refractive optics with a mirror lens. Although those usually have a focal length upwards of half a meter.
