How to make your own TV Projector

beachhut · 03-05-2008, 13:02

I bought a kit a week ago where you can make your own tv projector out of cardboard. I was sceptical but couldn't believe it when it worked. My cousins kids have been watching back to back episodes of Spongebob for hours. The quality was even good enough for for us to watch a movie.

It's a great concept which I had to share with you.

How do you do it!?? I want a projector but am not willing to spend more than 100 pounds on one! Is this a viable option....or should I go for ebay!?

Is this a scam? Why else would you put a title of "How to make your own TV Projector" - & then effectively just say "you make one using cardboard" in your post?

Where's the information?

This has been on ebay for years, current cost from the US is about £5! including postage & a Lens, got to be good then

The lumen lab site is amazing (http://lumenlab.com/), especially the forums.

The effort some of the members go to, and the results they get is simply breath-taking.

The direct link to the Projector builder subforum is http://www.lumenlab.com/forums/index.php?showforum=29
There are many completed and in-progress projects in there, as well as results pics.
