I know this is uk.d-i-y but I really think you are wasting your time,
effort and money.

For the same price as buying all the bits to build one - and frankly it
will be a complete disappointment whatever you do - you could buy a
used LCD projector off eBay.

Its actually very easy, if you dont mind low brightness levels. The old
epidiascopes were a black box with the illuminated picture on the back,
and a single lens 8" or so in front of it. And thats all thats needed
for a basic unit, a screen with as high brightness as poss and a lens.
You wont get particularly good light levels and large pics at the same
time, but adequate for some tasks.

So really it all depends.
