300 inches is a lot bigger than I thought. I was using a website to measure my projectors capabilities, and this is probably all I would do for now even though I could do more. What's hard about big outdoor projector screens like this, especially with a thin frame to hold it, is the chance of wind blowing it over and storage space. Making a stronger frame and making pieces that can easily be assembled would make this setup complete.

I’ve had a 200” screen for years. Hanging it in my living room has always been an issue due to its overall size, but it’s amazing whenever it’s up. However, I’ve always yearned for a better (faster) way to erect this thing so it’s enjoyable throughout the year rather than being limited only to special occasions. Will these erectors supply enough rigidity to simply frame the screen so I can quickly suspend it from ceiling mounts? I’ve thought about using an aluminum rail and creating a track system almost like a shower curtain but stretching the screen flat is always the biggest time consumer so this concept has not come to fruition yet. I’m hoping to find something light weight enough to quickly frame out the screen (wrinkle free) and be able to either mount it or lean it against a wall.

Looks similar to the frame I built for a parade trailer, to put letters on. Due to budget restrictions, I had to use a combo of 1/2" and 3/4" conduit. It ended up around 30 feet long, and 7-10 feet high. Due to the Covid "burst," it wasn't even used. So, it was taken apart, and stored without fully testing it. (What could go wrong?) I'll be finding out in November whether the thing actually works. (Unlike you, I didn't have a flat space big enough, so it got, ummm, messy.) I found that cross braces helped, too, but didn't (and still don't) have any of the crossover clamps, which I think would help... I also discovered that just because you can build it with minis, don't forget real world limits. I did the minis with a 10 foot piece at the bottom, but quickly found that I had to use two five foot pieces, since I had to assemble it on the ground, and that meant I needed two pieces. I then found, on my next project, that I didn't have enough of the mini stuff, so don't skimp on those either. :) They really do help in the design process.

Let us know how it works when you build it again. I really like the minis for prototyping and planning out connections because I can't sketch to save my life. You're right though, real world limits don't always transfer to the mini scale. Thanks for the comment!

The problem with sketching is it's not in 3D, and the minis really help with that part of the design. I'll be sure to take pictures on Nov 26th when I put it together.

Hey Jake, do you guys happen to know when the 1"couplings will be available?

Buen video. Una pregunta, esa lona es transparente? Quiero usarla para hacer teatro de sombras. Me la recomiendas?

@MakerPipe 7 ай бұрын

Hola, gracias por la pregunta. No es transparente. Está destinado a mostrar imágenes proyectadas desde el frente. Creo que querrás conseguir material para la pantalla del proyector trasero.

Can I add maker pipe connectors to black iron pipe? I basically need to add a cross/support brace to a desk I built.

@MakerPipe 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Dan thanks for the comment. You can use the Pro Connectors with 3/4” black iron pipe using a shim that we will have available soon. There’s more details in this video if you’re interested. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdqJrKljp7iqgKM.html

Hi there! Can you please tell me where I can buy your ProT Connectors ? I clicked on the link above and it says page not found. Are they still being manufactured? Also can someone please tell me where I can get exact instructions and exact about of materials I will need to build this screen for a 300 inch screen? thanks so much!! This frame construction is amazing..

HI there Jonathan, thanks for the questions. The link in that video was for the pre-orders. Now you can find the 1" connectors as a variant under the website connectors listings. makerpipe.com/collections/modular-pipe-fittings/products/t-connector?variant=39641520832585
