How to extend a projector?

[borgqueenx]

How can i extend a laser projector?
Screw a alluminium plate on it so i can put more stuff in there?
My dad can cut a plate with a laser at his work so sizes are easy to get.

Need some more options to consider because it will probaly not look to beautiful..
And a new case will be expensive plus alot of work.

it wont work the join will be weak and flex

Il have to find a solution though:/

Maybe extend to above instead of sideways?
4pillars, screwable, then on top a strong alu plate?

Maybe get a strip of the same thickness alu plate and securely bolt it on both plates. It wont flex if it has support inside your projector case.

Screw the projector itself onto a larger plate?

Sorry, first of all ..... "extend" in what sense ?

Do you need just to fit one on something large, and you need to "extend" the fitting brackets/hooking points ?

Or do you want to "extend" the scanning and effects possibilities adding optics inside it ?

I bought new galvos but they wont fit in the current case

Well, it can be done, hooking a plate in front of the beam exit, but for sure it's not an aesthetical solution (and expose the galvos to "accidents" possibility) ..... the better one is still get a new case with more space, for this.

EDIT: another possibility is to substitute the actual galvos with a turning mirror, and "hook" in front of the original case a second metal box containing the new galvos ..... still not too much aestherical, but at least in this way the new galvos are enclosed and protected.
