Dust Covers

[Drongo]

Probably a silly question - but does anyone know any 'one size fits all' dust covers for Projectors?

If so where can I buy one from?


Cheers!

This works very well m8........

You're taking your avatar too literally!

I appreciate that would work - but I'd like summat that looked the part as well!

Can't believe that it seems as if you can't get a dust cover for a PJ....

Your not kidding m8.... all that keeps popping up is a blinkin 3m Dust cover... Can't find one any where

How is it mounted?

I just use a tea towel at the moment as mine is on a tripod, but I'm not sure what I'll do when I finally get a ceiling mounted PJ.

You used to be able to buy dust covers for printers and other office equipment, so you may be able to trace something along these lines that does the job (had them for my Amiga, monitor and Star dot-matrix printer all those years ago), but they might not be so common now that electronics are deemed to be more disposable.

Yeah it's weird.

Dust is supposed to be one of the PJ's worst enemies - but you can't buy dust covers for 'em!

Would that just fall off a ceiling mounted PJ... or has it got an elastic Bottom ??

Oh.... Good find Ian

Good show Ian - that may well do the trick!

They are just designed to sit on the top, but you could probably cut it so that it can go round the ceiling mount and then fix it with some velcro.

Oh, and I have to ask, Elastic Mottom? Is that your underwear obsession again.

No problem Drongo, us Yorkshire folk are very resourceful. Maybe I could buy 100 and sell them as custom projector covers with a 500% markup, I'm sure they'll improve black levels.

How often do you clean the filter? Mine's supposed to be done every 100 hours, but I probably do it closer the the 50 hour mark.

Ooops, missed this post

It will be for a shelf mounted PJ.

You used to buy dust covers for all manner of a/v stuff yonks ago - nowadays such things have vanished into oblivion.

My comment still stands.

Ooh look, I'm now a Senior Member. Does that mean I'm no longer an expert and losing my mind?
