The Ultimate Play Table? Trains, Cars, Lego And Dinosaurs - Epic Playroom Upgrade
When your four year old boy asks for a Lego cars racetrack, garage, train set and Lego building space all in one... but also expects to be able to just hit the buy now button on Amazon to have it appear, I got to work to make it happen.
We take our old playroom "vet office" apart and clear it out to make space for a new L shaped ultimate play table for little boys. Not only does this multi-use play space have dedicated areas for Lego building, toy trains, cars, monster trucks and dinosaurs but it keeps it all relatively organized as well.

DIY Extra Large UV Curing Chamber For 3D Resin Printers - XL Curing Box
มุมมอง 4.3Kปีที่แล้ว
It's all fine and dandy having a super sized 3D resin printer like my Peopoly Phenom L, which I bought immediately after seeing @UncleJessy do a review on, but finding a sufficient sized wash station and UV curing chamber is a challenge. I was honestly fine paying for one, but at the time only a couple options existed (over $1000) and were out of stock. So it's off to the @AxiomprecisionCNC AR1...

    bad design to have it all open, that UV then floods the space you put it in, your English sounds American, so learn to do some sheet metal design, use sendcutsend to cut and bend the parts out of uncoated aluminum, screw together, use regular sanitary silicone to seal seams inside, bare aluminum is reasonably good at reflecting UV, so when buttoned up the UV is reflected inside and isn't wasted damaging other materials in the room and you when it escapes your current enclosure can leave outside of the case bare, AL won't horribly corrode in a room, or can spray paint using al primer, it would probably cost you less than that sheet of HDPE

    Hey! Awesome job explaining a pretty technical topic. Do you have a separate trigger to initially turn on the projector at the start of the night or is the trigger to the media player powering on your projector? I guess the short form of my question is, how are you powering up the projector at the beginning of the show and then powering down the projector at the end of the night? Thanks!

    • @MakeEpicThings
      @MakeEpicThings ปีที่แล้ว

      I manually turn on the projector at night, and turn it off when the shows are done. Its a pretty high powered one so there is a notable heat up and cool down period before or after use.

    • @reverseprollc3295
      @reverseprollc3295 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@MakeEpicThings thanks for the clarification. Also, how do you go about synching the audio coming from the files you’re playing on your projector to the music you’re choreographing your lights to in LightOrama? From what I could tell you are broadcasting the audio file from the projector, but when you create your show you design it from the sound file in LightOrama.

    • @MakeEpicThings
      @MakeEpicThings 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@reverseprollc3295Good question. Yes you are using the LOR with the audio track. The key is to insert a small amount of silence on the LOR audio file, but not the video file on the projector (if you are using a media wiz sprite triggerable video player for example). You trigger the media wiz player right away in your LOR sequence, and move the trigger point around until you more or less have the LOR audio synced with the projection audio. Its never perfect, but its pretty close.

    • @reverseprollc3295
      @reverseprollc3295 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

I’m not looking to go crazy with light syncing, but would like to integrate some uplighting in my trees and some fog cannons. I think this will work out perfect, thank you! Can you link or give a specific relay you’re using to trigger the projector? I hope to get to your level one day!

    My apologies if you already covered this… I am gearing up to do my very first projection this year so I am super excited! I would love to get a copy of the show (Mac version) with the Haunted Mansion. It’s especially perfect for me since I live in Orlando, FL. Also I am getting ready to build my projector housing. What material did you use again? I barely caught any of that part. Is it sold by the sheet, etc.? I have seen people on TH-cam make their boxes with computer server containers and it works well for them. Finally, it looks like your property is massive, but are you still using a short throw lens for your projector? Thanks!

    • @MakeEpicThings
      @MakeEpicThings ปีที่แล้ว

      I built it out of HDPE (high density polyethlene). It is likely the best material to use in terms of plastic options. You can buy it by the sheet but its quite costly. For the haunted mansion show, in order to fit your house you can get Fitz Studios to make it for you (www.fitzstudios.org/) The projector has a short throw lens but keep in mind its a 12,000 lumen projector.

      Any standard AC powered relay works. All the LOR is doing is "activating the relay" (which means the other side of the relay makes contact). Those two contact sides dont have a voltage out, they merely connect the trigger circuit coming from the sprite media player. It literally is the equivalent of touching two wires together.
