Project:
Handcrafted Projector for phones

Date: August 26th,2019

 Introduction

Projectors are nowadays used at offices, home and movies rooms, their life is short as they are
dedicated and easily break down becoming in a difficult resource to be recycled.

Do you know how much a projector cost? Well their prices may vary depending on the size and
the capacity of their lenses, known as lumens as well as the brand you choose. They can go from
4,000 lempiras to more than 13,000.

They are useful to share images in large appearance and the best ones are mostly used by
cinemas all around the world.

Today, we will show you how to save money creating your own, we must clarify that the size of
the image you want to obtain will depend on the capacity of your lenses, we will magnify a 7*4
inches image, ten times its size.
 Objectives:

 Prove that magnifiers are the secret tool in projectors.

 Build a handcrafted projector
 Recycle materials that we can easily find at home.
 Reduce electricity consumption.
 Create optically more comfortable images.
 Step 1: Thing You'll Need

Materials:
Tools:
- Magnifying Lens
- Hobby Knife (XACTO)
- Foam board
- Hot Gluegun
- Smartphone
- Cutter Knife
- Gluesticks
- Hacksaw
- PVA Glue
- Ruler
- Shoebox

Step 2: Remove the Handle

Carefully use your hacksaw to cut off the handle of the magnifying glass.

Step 3: Reinforcement

Reinforce the box by gluing the flaps and corners of the box. This prevents it from wiggling.
 Step 4: Lens Placement

Position your box in an upright position. Place your magnifying lens on top then center it. Use a pencil to

trace the cut line.

Step 5: Cutting the Perfect Round Hole

Here's a simple trick that I used all the time. If you are too OC, you can use an XACTO knife at the other
end of a compass for cutting a perfect and round hole.

Push it, pop it!

Step 6: Position Your Lens

Position your lens before gluing the it in place.

Step 7: Glue the Lens in Place

 Step 8: Build the Phone Stand

3 More ImagesBuild a phone stand using a foam board. Make sure it's perpendicular from the base to
avoid image distortion.
Step 11: Set Your Phone

Set your phone to the highest brightness:

Simple, more light results to a brighter projection.

Don't forget to lock the screen:

The lens inverts the light source (your phone's LCD) to the projected image. This means you'll have to

position your phone's screen in a topsy-turvy position in order to prevent it from auto rotating. Go set the

lock-screen setting and disable the auto rotate.

Flip The Image: (optional)

Download an app that flips the orientation of the image.

 Step 12: Adjust Your Projector

Like all projectors, this one needs to be calibrated too. Position your phone at the very end of the box then

slowly move it closer to the lens, you will notice that the image will turn sharper/ softer. Move it back and

forth until you get the sharpest projection.

Step 13: Turn Off the Lights - Watch in the Dark

Turn off your lights, wait for it to get dark then Enjoy!
 Conclusions:

 This project is economic.

 This project allows us to recycle materials.
 This project can easily be done by anyone, no matters the age.
 This project’s efficiency will depend on the lenses chosen to project.
 Magnifiers are the secret tool in a projector.
 Anyone could have a projector at home.

Good Morning and welcome to our presentation. Our project is a homemade data show

Our group members are Marcelo, Kayleigh, Rodrigo, Tony and Nixon.

Projectors are nowadays used at offices, home and movies rooms, their life is short as they are
delicate and easily break down becoming in a difficult resource to be recycled.
