Materials Required
The following materials are required to make a basic projector:
1. A high-quality fresnel lens
2. A high-resolution LCD screen
3. An aluminum plate
4. A large PVC pipe
5. An LED bulb
6. A power source
7. Glue gun and hot glue
8. Scissors and cutter
9. Tape measure and ruler
Instructions
1. Begin by cutting out an opening on the PVC pipe that is a bit smaller than the LCD screen size. Try to make the edges as smooth as possible.
2. Cut out an aluminum plate that will fit into the PVC pipe. Ensure that one face of the aluminum plate is flat, uniform, and shiny.
3. Glue the LCD screen onto the flat side of the aluminum surface using a hot glue gun. Ensure that the screen faces up and the glue attains an excellent bond.
4. Place the screen and the aluminum plate into the PVC pipe, with the video cord coming out the base. Ensure that the distance between the LCD screen and the fresnel lens corresponds to the screen size.
5. Glue the lens onto one end of the PVC after measuring the headphone jack and the power button position to make sure it fits.
6. Insert the LED bulb in the opposite end of the PVC pipe. Ensure that the LED bulb reflects the light through the LCD screen and on the fresnel lens.
7. Connect a power source to the LED bulb and power on the projector by pressing the button.
8. Position the projector on a flat, smooth surface and adjust the distance between the projector and the screen until the image appears clear and sharp.
