In unpacking I put my power supply to the side and it was on top of another machine. I want to be sure it is correct one to use. AC/DC Model HHWY1201 output 12VDC

Have not had a lot of time to check out my setup. But today I did notice that my close up lens does not fit snug on the projector lens. It tilts about 2 to 3mm. Guessing this will cause blurred / out of focus images. Will work on that tomorrow. Tried a wide rubber-band on P lens but it was too thick.

found some Adhesive tape for a "Command" hook. Just the right thickness I needed. Looks like it will work to hold it tighter on the projector just fine. Trying a new print today.

That's good you found a solution. I was gonna offer to send you some felt tape that you can cut and paste inside the lens holder for a more snug fit.

My problem also. usually it's because of not enough supports or they are in the wrong place.

Finlay had time to look at the projector and printer today. First went and check all setting and focus for the projector. Not sure I have an issue. Using the 42xy 80x45 grid, to focus the lens it turns all the way clockwise I believe. The lines look focused but wondering if I should have some more play?

Also I found out not to put your paper on top of quartz table before looking at the gird lines. Mine where going off and down the right sides and not in middle of table top. Guessing my cabinet top is not as level as it needs to be. So after adjusting the projectors feet I got the calibration grid to be in center.

Tomorrow I will see if this solves my problems.
