New 3w RGB Projector Build

[MIIKKKLLLL]

Anodizing makes aluminum very resistant but the production cost is high.

Does the powder coating provides a correct resistance, for example if you hit the coated element against a hard part? Is the powder coating comes off in small plates?

[andy_con]

powder coating is just as expensive as anodizing

if you hit your projector hard against something then you need to watch the fuck out ;-)
you should take care of expensive equipment

powder coating is fairly touch

Awesome work Andy!
Wish I also had a CNC Mill :P

To be fair you could do 80-90% of what I've done on a big enough manual mill, just not as fast.

My manual mill has a bigger table and more movement than both my cnc's

Dang! Ade and I are building an almost identical setup. We'll be bringing it in it's component parts this weekend, so hopefully we'll have some light of of it by Sunday.

It's just been powder coated so I'll be picking it up tomorrow ready to build this weekend.

Also just got the electronics

Sweet!

Is that for temp monitoring or fan control?

I've spent the last few weeks looking into an Arduino based controller for fan/colour, but the program syntax is doing my nut in
