After fine tuneing I still have a halo around the gobo...

Here is what I needed to do to stop the melting and smokeing...

I cut and placed the film on the two bar which hold the lens...

I place the first len about 1 1/2 away then the film about 1/4 from the first...

while I do get the text projected on the wall I also I'm getting that Halo which I can't delete... :(

More after I play cards with my family I missed while doing the MBLV...

Harry you were right but I was able to stop the melting...
 
I talked with the owner of Goboman...

...at great length at MB. He mentioned DJ Scottie several times during the conversation. Hmmmmmm...

He put an ink jet transparency right on top of the lens and left it on all day without a problem. While playing with the 100 watt unit, I could move the gobo out about an inch and still get a sharp focus with the other two lenses... I recommend it to anyone looking to make your own gobos. My Image Pro 300 melted everything I put on it, so it's for sale. Offers?

Well even though I did'nt make it this year, looks like part of me made it :sqbiggrin: That was nice of him to mention me.

I have been talking with MR. Goboman over the past month or so, and I have an order of 5 or 6 of theses going out soon. They have been a very nice up sell.
 
Scottie,

Just for the record, the 75 watt Goboman handles transparencies better than 100 watt unit. Is this true?
 
I guess I need to call Tom or Rebel and try to understand why I cooked my film on the len and why when I was able to finally find a location (or distance away to the first len)
where it didn't melt the image wasn't all the good looking...

The black background started to crack so I use a lighter background but while it looked a little better I still was getting halo because of the len locations...

????

I will call and see if the film I'm or the inkjet printer wasn't what they (whoever) used...

So far, I can create the gobo myself to use with this Projector (I got the 100 watts btw)...
 
I have a little insight to the 100 watt goboman projector. I purchased the 100 watt unit at MBLV. When I brought it up to my room I took a closer look at it. I found that there were 100 watt stickers placed over the 75 watt words printed on the box. After examining the unit there were no stickers on the unit itself displaying any information. The paperwork from the box said the unit was rated for 75w/100w/250w halogen lamp x 1 supplied. I'm now figuring that all they did was include a 100w bulb and up the price $20 but it's the same housing.

The next day I asked the goboman these questions (no other customers were present at the time). He got very piss off with me for even questioning him. I wanted to know what the difference in the units were and not just the bulb. He said and I quote "I don't know, take the unit a part and find out". He went on to tell me that the 75w unit had a sticker on the back of the housing, the 100w didn't. He also said that China shipped the 100w units in the 75w box so it was easier just to make up his own stickers. While being very pissed off because I asked for an explanation he did tell me I could return the unit. I of course said no, that I just wanted to know what the difference was. He wouldn't look at me, talk to me, then just ignored me.

I don't know how the unit works as I haven't tried it yet. I read that DJ Scottie used it and like the unit so I thought I'd take a chance. I'm sure the light works just fine but I can only conclude this: The 75w unit and the 100w unit are exactly the same. They are putting in a 100w bulb and charging an extra $20. Stickers have been placed over the original box and the specs sticker has been removed from the back of the 100w unit which is probably the 75w unit.

If anyone who purchased the 100w unit has anything different please let me know.
 
Ron,

You asked a legitimate question regarding the product. The Goboman sounds like a butthead. I don’t deal with buttheads.
 
He acted as anyone would act, getting caught with your hand in the cookie jar. Prove me wrong, that's all I ask and I will apologize and go away.
 
Thats why we were able to chat so many times in the halls you say what you mean and mean what you say. Great attribute in my books. Thanks for the honesty we could use more.
 
I'd be happy to learn those modifications as well. Does it smoke with a 75w bulb? I know DJ Scottie never had a problem. Also, I wonder if it matters if the film is printed using an ink jet vs. laser.
 
Most be laser because ink jet show the grain when projected...

And running throgh twice in the ink jet only helps a little...

*****
He may be a butthead but she is nice...:sqrolleyes:

Here is what I was told by one of them...

I asked the same question becuase both units look alike...

"Can you change the wattage from 75 to 100"...???

"We are working to create that type of unit" was their answer...
 
the transparencies have a slight smoking but I put it on the other side of the glass and it helped it from smoking and my Ikea unit has only a 50 watt bulb but lit up the wall fine with the rooms lights all on. IT smokes initially slightly but then stops.
 
my issue with the Ikea and Goboman units are that they cant zoom out or in. This causes you to be held to moving the stand to a location to have it enhance the wall behind a head table or the center of the dancefloor or center of the dancefloor ceiling or the best place according to the room.
 
When I make transparencies, I print 3 different slides with 3 different sized fonts all on the same sheet of transparency film. This way, I use the one that will size the best based on where I place the projector.
