My mom : Why are you buying a magnifying glass? Your never gonna use it... 7 year old me : One day mother, one day

This is a simplified explanation. Depending on the lens you use, a single shoe box may not be long enough and you may have to join two length ways. Also, paints the whole inside of the box matte black to reduce light reflection in the box and therefore sharpen the image.

I did all of this, every single step just to now realize that my phone is too big to fit in the damn box

For everyone who wants to improve the brightness of your image, try and hang plain white bedsheets on your wall. This will make your image way brighter

who has a magnifying glass laying around who do we look like Sherlock Holmes

Bruh says "this is what you need"and then pulls out a hack saw

*I'm watching this coz of I wanna watch a Movie, but im on Quarantine!*

That moment, that fabulous moment when you have all the tools at home

The projected image will be more improved, the colors better and overall image sharper and more clear if you paint the inside of the box flat black, or even line the box with some black fabric or velvet. It eliminates the reflected light from the phone screen on the inner surface of the box that bleeds out through the lens and reduces the image quality from stray "light noise".

TRY THIS BEFORE GIVING UP!! For me, at first everything was a white blob, but then I just cut the back of the shoe box then extended it to give the slider more room to back up by glueing more cardboard. So, just keep adjusting back and forth for the box and for the slider. Overall, just give the slider more space to back up. Hope this works for yall!

HERES THE COMMENT EVERYONE IS LOOKING FOR!! Here’s my review, I did this and it worked. It’s a little blurry and a little difficult to set up to focus it, but other than that I love this!! I give it a 7/10 overall ✨

The way he casually say “grab your hacksaw” as if we own one

You need a magnifying glass, a foam board, hot glue gun, masking tape, ruler, a cutter, smartphone and a shoebox Me- aw cool it's not that many thi- Video- now take a hacksaw Me- oh

Who else is looking through the comments to see if it works😂😂

Who else is doing this cause it quarantine lol

When you have all materials except for magnifying glass:

Some of you guys have tried but it didn't work. Why? Because it based on your magnifying glass thickness. You will need a very thin magnifying glass to make a projector. So, the image distance would be longer than the distance between your smartphone and magnifying glass. I have tried using different lenses. So, good luck

i am going to buy a shoes so i can get the box

“ this is all the things you’ll need for the projector “ *pulls out 3 other things he didn’t say we needed* 🤔

0:57 yes I use my hacksaw as an everyday object to cut my fruits

Omg this is the first thing I built that actually works. And I also had a very thin plastic magnifying glass lying in the house. Thx alot.

For the people for whose this method is not working try this one :-> 1• Buy a 60mm and 50mm magnifying glass. 2• Stick both together with 4 or 5 cm distance . 3• Then fix them to in front of shoe box or any box. 4• Now put Your phone in the box and download flip app to flip the video ( like - converts video from right to left , left to right ) and turn off auto rotation or download any media player or video player app ( I use VLC app for android ). 5• Now put your phone in the box and fix the distance and Then enjoy the Projecter. ( Sorry for my bad English )

This project is actually one of the required ones for the science project. Thx alot man!

Wow this really saved my life! My mom is always mad about my screen time over usage so I asked her for a projector but… “I’m not wasting my money on that!” And I found this video and this idea really helped so tysm! 😇

*Lists supplies you've said except for a hacksaw* nOW tAKe yOUr haCKSaW-

It's important to find out what the focal length of your lens before you buy it. Try projecting an image of the lights in the store on to the floor. The distance between the lens and the floor when the image of the bulb becomes sharp is what's important. You need at least a 5X magnifier for things to work out with a shoe box that had less than like size 18 shoes in it.

If you don't have a hacksaw at hand you could always cut a hole in the lid of the shoebox for the magnifying glass handle to stick through!

Just casually scrolling through the comments to see if this is worth my time cus I’m too broke for a couple hundred dollar projector lol

Instructions unclear. I cut my phone

2:48 Him: Now we need to make a phone stand. Cut to the perfect size, hot glue, blah blah blah Me: *Pulls out popsocket* 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

Ok, this is an old video….but I have run around all day looking for a projector to put a pic from my phone onto a canvas to trace. Ones that make a pic to fit a smaller canvas are $300 and up. You just saved me some $$$, this definitely works good enough to trace a picture! Thanks!

“Make this using office supplies...... and now just grab your hacksaw”

Who’s watching in 2019 and screamed when he pulled out his phone 😂

gonna go buy some shoes now so i can get a box

Review after I tried this>>> it was really easy to make and I didn’t use a hacksaw to cut off the handle I just made a small semi circle cut in the lid to accommodate it ! How it worked: I tried it once with a Netflix show and it was pretty blurry and disappointing but I looked at some other comments and it really works much better with animated shows/movies which is pretty much the only thing I’d recommend using it for but it’s great for animated stuff!!! Also to increase the brightness on your phone even more go to settings>General>accessibility>display accommodations> and slide the white point feature to increase your brightness even more :)

Great idea for kids sleepover or camping. Very fun and engaging. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome tutorial!💥❤🙏

You should also cut a hole at the back where you can pass the charging cable. Using the phone at the highest brightness setting will drain it fast.

Haha, I remember when I remade this DIY since as a kid i've always wanted a projector! And now here I am owning a decent 1080p projector.

Glad to see this video has lots of views, I found this years ago and painted murals in my apt. This is awsome

I've already seen a similar video like this before, but this looks more better and simpler + there are comments here that really helps and contributes to improve the quality etc...

Thanks this helped a lot! My friends and I needed a projector for our camp. We where about to by a very expensive projector online but we found this and it worked! Thank you

Mine didnt work. I got a magnifying glass just like yours and my phones highest brightness and all that projects is a bright square

That is definitely something I wanna try during quarantine!

I’m Here Because Quarantine Officially Starts Tomorrow 😂 well in a 2 hrs

You should cut a little hole on the side big enough to to plug speakers

This is an interesting way to make a projector for your smart phone. He uses two way tape to hold the phone. I would use double sided Velcro (male and female), so that the phone can be removed and put back many times over without making a mess. On the mount for the phone, I would calibrate some positions and make guides so the phone can be put exactly back each time. It may also be a good idea to buy a universal phone bracket and find a way to mount it inside of the box.

DIY How to make a Magnifying Glass Lense Cut two circles from a water bottle (Make sure it's the exact size) Then heat a knife use the heated knife to stick the two circles Leave a little hole then put a water inside then stick the little hole again using the heated knife

Thanks a lot .I tried it and it worked .For the first time I thought that wouldn't work but I didn't give up and after some trying I made It .Thanksssssssssss a lot

If you buy a cheap magnifying glass (from a discount store or pound shop), you can usually unscrew the handle and remove the lens without having to cut the handle off (check the place where the frame joins the handle to see if there is an unscrew-able part). If there are any rough edges (although there usually aren't) you can cover the edge with clear tape, or file them down if you can. Then measure the hole to fit the lens without the frame. Should work out much cheaper than buying a hacksaw if you don't have one already.

I just broke off the handle 🤣

Thank you guy! This is awesome! I’m fixin to make one for my youngest fella.

Thanks mate. I love making homemade stuff. I already made a self-made stylus, the projector, a cool kind of spinner. Can you please make some more videos of cool self-made stuff

I remember building one. Only that I don't have a smart phone back then (yet). I used it as picture projector instead, so I put bright lights inside the box as my light source. Oh and just for the point of accuracy with tools you used, i believe, the saw you used is called a coping saw as oppose to the one you mentioned, hacksaw (metal-cutting saw). All-in-all, worth giving a try! Good for family week home project that everyone can enjoy!

"Today we are building a clock!" One day later "Shit."

This will be perfect for my classic hollywood themed trunk for this year’s trunk or treat!

Doing a movie dinner date with my bf and projectors are so expensive!! This is perfect thank you!!

Nice idea. It is cost efficient, no electricity is required, small and portable, and can be easily adjusted and shifted!

I did one better. With just a few supplies like a TV, I turned my TV into a TV.

ME PLAYING THIS ON MY DIY PROJECTOR: 👁👄👁

How do u get the phone screen video in the wall. Or u have to buy the glass circle

We did this We had fun eating dinner and watching spongebob on the wall 😁👏

if i enlarge the scale would this work for my TV?

him: so use your hacksaw me: literally snaps it in half

this guy deserves a million subscribers

Just knowing what I do about physics, even if you manage to get the projection in focus, it would be so dark projected across a normal sized room that it would be pointless.

Thanks, this worked! Of course, it's no substitute for an actual projector, but for a couple bucks and ten minutes tops, it's pretty awesome.

Thank you, easily and clear instructions.

Thanks, it works! Focusing is the hardest part😄 My version isn't this intricate though (in case it failed). I put a small hole in the lid for the magnifying glass handle instead of cutting it off.

like I have a hack saw just lying around

I am thoroughly impressed with this! This was really cool!

Boss, wanna try it, what grade of the lens of the magnifying glass?

So nice of you to make a home made perfect projector😊

It worked lol 🤯😍😍😍😁😁 I showed it to my classmates they was like wowww🤯

It is so satisfying to know that some kids are still doing these kind of hobbies even thought it's still involving smartphones.

Hi, can I use smaller magnifying glass? Or should it be a big one?

“Oh no there’s a protrusion.”

He forgets to mention that it NEVER focuses

I made this in 2012 when I was a small boy 👦

which way do you glue the glass on big or small

Will it increase the brightness of image if I put more high power magnifying glass?

I did exactly what was in the tutorial, but the image won’t seem to focus. I thought it may need to be further away so I did it again and attached the two boxes but it won’t work. What might have I done wrong?

Can you boost the brightness of the image if you fill the walls of the box with tin foil ?

Absolutely AMAZING 😍 NEW Favorite Chanel

Does the hbvOffice straight shank magnifier 6x60mm works ??

Hi , I just saw you in my feeds and I really like your projects 😍 and then now ...im new to your channel Just want to say you're Great 💝

me: him: every time after doin something " Just to make sure!"

Can you tell what is the lens power of the glass? And can't we use magnifying sheet plz tell it? And can it be used in light also

What size magnification is recomended for a single shoe box?

Him: uSe yOuR hAcKsaW- Me: wat!? You didn't say anything about a hacksaw! I don't have a hacksaw!

Thank you so much this definitely helps me with my science project👍

Super amei o seu vídeo mostrando como fazer e montar Projector para celular😍😍😍👏👏👏 Agora vou tentar fazer um, e tomara que eu consiga montar direitinho 👍👍👍

Did bi convex lens is used to make a projector

it didnt work, all it shows is porn, cant turn it off send help

Cool. I'll just have to learn how to read movie subtitles in reverse now. lol

This is quite interesting. The image was too faint so I decided to simply look directly through the lens at my phone. Of course its magnified and a lot brighter but it's also in 3D. This came as a surprise. Your left and right eye see two different images which when combined yield a stereoscopic effect. Wow why didn't I think of this before. Nb I used a 5x magnification biconvex lens with a focal length of ~ 240 mm.

I was refreshing my memories this was the second video I watched on this channel after radio transmitter ....I finally made it after years I watched this video but projected image is not that clear because I need to phone away from lens more but it is the end of the box .... next video make a projector at home I know you can...

Thanks, now i can watch my porn like its real life.

this is nice, i'll try this for my project.

Would this work If i am trying to project it onto the inside of a tent? (a bodies length/6 ft away maybe)?

Nice job man!! Very creative!!
