Salamat po, Lalo na sa pag bisita sa channel ko.

This is quite ingenious but at the same time a recipe for disaster: FIRE!!

[@AriesArriesgado]

Most mall artists are using this cheap projector for their projects. You are not going to use it for hours. Just 2 minutes for you to get the basic outline of the picture. Then turn it off. And yes you are right, for more security, better use an aluminum box. Ty!

[@feralart]

Switching out for a high lumen LED would save space and cut back on heat. I'm planning on building a larger version of my projector myself (as mine only uses a 5X5 window and I want to be able to use full sheets). Though I plan to build a more permanent housing.

[@AriesArriesgado]

Yes that is a good plan. Thank you!

[@randlyons7278]

Capitol idea. Using an LED light would get rid of the heat and plexiglass could be be cut with a hacksaw or hand held electric saw but your project is cool beens indeed. Well done.😊

[@AriesArriesgado]

Perfect Idea my friend. Thank you so much!

[@evelynrose3334]

Hey Bat-bro, I just ran across my feed, excited to see that it’s you that made the video. Very instructive. Where was this in 1980 when I really got my art started? BTW it’s Ricky from Tucson. The one that bought your Batman Origins costume. 😁

Hey Rick! Sorry for this late reply. Thank you for visiting my channel. And also, hi Evelyn! 😊

Hello Jorge, I am so glad you understand it. Thank you very much.

[@tanishachhajed]

What light power I can use?

[@AriesArriesgado]

Hi Tanisha, you can just use any led light bulb.

[@011greenmona]

What is the augmentation of magnifying glass? and how long is the tube. My Dad is helping me build it and we just need these two details. Thank you so much!

[@AriesArriesgado]

Tube is 12 inches long, not sure about the magnifying glass. But to give you an idea. The circumference of the glass is 6cm. You can use any size of glass. I have a friend who actually used bigger glass. Enjoy your build. Thank you!

[@sophiefriedman-pappas2144]

hi! i was wondering what you would have to change if you wanted to be able to project a larger portion of the photograph?

[@AriesArriesgado]

I think you need a much deeper box, a larger mirror that has the exact size of the glass top. Bigger lens and make it adjust a bit farther away facing the mirror. Just try not to glue them permanently during the assembly, so that you can easily adjust your measurements if you don't get the desired image you want.

[@Mastervinci]

Thanks lods

[@AriesArriesgado]

You are most welcome lods. Salamat!

[@shawnapagac1482]

Will this work if you need a picture off yourphone?

[@AriesArriesgado]

I never tried it. But maybe you can place your phone on top of the glass or place it leaning on to the mirror. You can watch a video also.

[@artsfromakronbyshonda5271]

How long is the short tube please?

[@AriesArriesgado]

1 foot or more than 1 foot and 2inch will do.

The idea is good but you can make a better wey tu hold the Len to the image so can be seed complete It"s somthing like a smart phone proyector you can replace the light ball fore a led light ball that has more lumens It"s more fresh than a resistence light ball and mabe the resolt es alot better, ():-) greetings from Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico (y) (b)

[@AriesArriesgado]

Hello Cesar yeah I know what you mean. that one is much better when it comes to a much clearer projection. Most old school artist here they still use this style. because it is more cheaper to make, and then 40% tracing the final part will be 60% drawing skills. Thank you! Love you Guadalajara Mexico!!!

Oh thank you! I do not know what it's called. we only use it to secure and hide our drafting plates in high school

Yup, but I was just showing the self fulfillment and fun of DIY ,,😊
