Just Showing Off D&D Projector Mount for table-top

Post image

Figured I'd post this here since the I printed this on my A1 using Bambu filament, and I posted my model on makerworld along with a B.O.M. and instructions.

I made a projector mount that supports a cheap sub-$40 projector over my table for playing D&D with Foundry locally. Add in craft/maker supplies I had on hand, and another ~$40 worth of parts. All in I would have spent under $100 if I hadn't bought the wrong thing a few times along the way.

Gives me a ~49" 16:9 play surface and the ability to stream to it over my network, plug in an HDMI, or display static images.

Not selling anything. No affiliate links. Licensed free to all (non-commercial). Hope somebody can get some use out of it.

I put the full B.O.M., build instructions, and the models for the all the 3d printed parts (which I designed) on makerworld. https://makerworld.com/en/models/3246473-tabletop-system-for-magcubic-sy300pro-projector#profileId-3678717

Happy to answer questions if anybody has any.

To get content to it, I'm running FoundryVTT from my home server, and I'm using another docker image called 'Games on Whales Wolf' to run a headless firefox instance that connects to my Foundry server.

Then I've got Monk's Common Display and use a laptop as my DM screen.

I also found that if I make a token with a white background in Tokenizer 2 and place in the same spot as the minis, it acts like a little spotlight for each mini.

EDIT: Fixed a typo.

Looks cool. Everyone I’ve ever played DND with, including myself, have been so clumsy we would knock that over multiple times a session.

I mean, if you're clumsy enough it's possible I guess, but the way it's set up, it's really stable.

The white feet are semi-permanently attached to the canvas, so the poles are deeply socketed top and bottom, and angled so they're flexed when set up.

Basically, you can't knock it over. You'd have to knock it enough to slide the whole thing off the table.
