In order to cut the panels for the projector shell, it is recommended that you use 1/2" MDF wood, available at Home Depot and other major home improvement stores. You can also substitute plywood or particle board, though MDF is typically smoother (nicer looking). Below are the dimensions and quantities needed for each panel of the pico projector enclosure. Note that the side panels can be made from much thinner wood if desired. For the purpose of creating a more light-weigh enclosure, all of our Pico projectors ship with 1/8" thickness plywood for the side panels.

   Panels Needed   

(2x) Sides: 18" x 16" x 1/2" or 18" x 16" x 1/8"

(2x) Top/Bottom: 17" x 9" x 1/2"

(1x) LCD Holder: 17" x 8-1/2" x 1/2"

(2x) Front/Back: 16" x 9" x 1/2"
