I wanted the freedom to select my screen size once it had an image projected on it. This seemed the easiest way.
That's a good point. If I build too big, I can mask. Too small is hard to fix.
Looking back (just posted this elsewhere here at axiom) this DIY screen stood out. Black spandex with white spandex over top.
I've read quite a few DIY threads now, but there is one thing missing from all of them: a direct comparison to commercial offerings. I've not seen a post that says "my spandex build is as good as a Carada xyz screen. The gain seems to be $ saved over very expensive commercial offerings, but its not clear at all what is being given up to achieve that low low price.
