In the meantime, I would like to share my settings. Your lenses might be slightly different (they all have tiny variations), so feel free to make small adjustments.

1. The first thing you should do is to make sure your projector legs are closed all the way.
2. Project the grid and click the default button.
3. Make sure the side borders of your grid are parallel to each other. Easy way to do this is to measure the distance at the top and the bottom.
If they are off, use the Keystone button on the projector remote to correct this trapezoidal distortion.
4. Put in the suggested values below, based on which projector you have.

Infocus HD8606
Center X/Y: 0.50 0.58
Distortion Params: 0.98 0.01 0.01 0.01


This was very helpful. I think may problems have been solved.

Thanks,
Michael

I´d like to get distortion parameters for Vivitek H1186WT (from Mark Kuhnlein), ready for the first print but can´t get the grid even.
Where can I find the .stl for the ring in the printing video tut.
Thanks,Timo.

Optoma HD37
Center X/Y: 0.48 0.68
Distortion Params: 0.97 0.05 -0.02 0.01

5. Measure the grid and make sure it's 48mm x 27mm (or if you're setting up for 42xy, that it's 80mm x 45mm)
6. Focus the lines.



Any update on the video? Because I'm struggling quite a bit here.

[quote="CADjewelrySchool"]Hi guys,

This is what we are currently using when we ship out a new Solus printer order using the Vivitek 1186HD.
I am just trying to get my grid even and I am wondering what all the parameters are for. The software seems to be a miracle, no documentation, no information.
1.The distortion parameters A and B make sense to me. But C and D do more or less the samme as B. So can someone explain these functions to me,......or even better, is there a hidden manual with a description?
2. Manual Tilt? What does it mean, what does it do?
3. Manual Z? What does it mean what does it do?
Maybe people would not need to ask that much if you would give them a simple manual to read.

thanks for your help.

I agree, although customer service is great, information is still too scattered around and a more complete manual for both the printer and contour would make things much easier, at least for people who are very new to this technology.
