Projector screen build

[K. Sayre]

Anybody thinking about a projector set up this might help...had a curved frame built by a local metal shop for about $1,000 and just hung my screen from Carl's Place which cost around $500 6ftX25ft no creases or wrinkles...very easy to do.

That is a LOVELY screen. I had always planned to build my own screen, I assumed the cost to have it made would be prohibitive. I may look into having it machined somewhere if my own efforts are not satisfactory (I've more or less decided against the Mylar/collimated system, because I want more viewable area than such a system can effectively provide). $1,500 for the complete rig is not so bad.

Either way, I think I know where I'm getting my material now. Thanks for sharing!

Hi,
I`m going to build the same as Simkits,
Screen and frame 1000,00 euro
Flyelise-software 360,00 euro
2 hd beamers 1400,00 euro

Saves me about 9000+ EURO DIY

You mean this? Can you fit a Boeing/Airbus into this build?

Hello,

I am designing a frame for my simulator screen... I have a couple of questions that you might help me.

1. what kind of material did you use for the frame?
2. I have 3 x Benq W1080 ST and Immersive Display Pro...
3. Would it be possible to cover 250 degrees FOV?

Regards,
Hooman

Hi ,
I have used retangular aluminium profile
40x40mm same as Simkits and have them bend at a fraction of the cost compared to simkits
i am not sure if 250 degrees is possible you have to ask flyelise ,
I have 180 degrees , I know there is a YouTube movie but there have 225 degrees

Local metal shop did the fabrication for me...very quick and easy. It's 2" stainless steel tubing, I think. I
also am using 3X Benq W1080 ST's...I have appox. 180 degree FOV. I don't think 250 FOV is possible, maybe 210-220 degrees.
