DIY Multimedia LED Projector (video manual)

Step 22 You're Done!

 
Well done! You were able to make your own projector with an LED, which will last almost forever.
Now relax on the sofa while you watch your favourite movie on a 2m diagonal screen. (by the way, for the screen I'm using an Ikea roller blind, works GREAT!) 

I hope you like this Instructable, I did work hard to make it as good as I can, but maybe I missed a step or something, so just ask if you have any questions.

I thought this instructable was very well done, and I can't wait to try and make it myself!  I'm worried about how I'll fair with a curcit since I haven't made one in a long time, but otherwise I think it'll be great.

 Thank you. Go on and make yourself another one, if you need any help with the schematic or any other thing, just drop me a line.

 Like the project, really nice. How big can you get the image and it still be nice? 

[newtonn2]

 I would say about 70" diagonal.

What was the cost of the whole project?

[newtonn2]

 
I spent about 60 pounds, but I had many parts already. I don't know how difficult will be to find the same parts where you are at.

The LCD was 22 Pounds
The LED was 25 Pounds
The old OHP was 5 Pounds (mirror and fresnel)
The Electronic components cost me around 3 Pounds

I had all the other parts. The condenser lens was from a car headlight. The heatsink from a old pc processor. The lens came from an old LCD projector.
