Seems like a lot for just a few screens a month. The best "spare room" solution I've seen is to buy one of those vacuum storage bags (usually under $5) big enough for your screen to go in. Tape your artwork to the coated screen, place in the bag, attach vacuum and place on the floor. Hang your light source around 16-20 inches (depending on the type of light) and make a perfect screen. All supplies are easily stored.
How feasible is my idea to build a portable large LED exposure unit?
Just wondering if anyone has done anything like this before?
Glass dimensions I would be looking at are 1400mm x 1000mm x 6mm
I want to build something I can fold up and put away as I would only be exposing 2-4 screens per month and it all needs to fit in my spare room.
I would build the glass, frame to sit the glass in and legs to be a foldable unit. Kick in the legs and I could rest it up against a wall when not in use. or even just put it under my bed.
The light box would consist of a UV LED Chip, heatsink and driver and then I could just get black fabric to stretch from the lightbox to the frame around the glass. Would this work? Ive seen some MH units that are reflective inside but I also read you dont want to bounce around the light too much to minimize undercutting
The thing I cant figure out is how high would the glass need to be from the light unit?
Would I just have to buy the light first and see how much light it casts out at a certain distance and just eyeball it so that its covering the general area i need exposed?
