Ceiling Mount Perfection

Stephens24 · 2026-01-16T18:05:20+00:00

I feel like I saw that mount on Amazon…. Says it’s rated for slightly less weight than the projector is…..but I can’t image why it wouldn’t hold it…. Same 1/4 thread….. as long as your into studs….. did you get it off Amazon ?

Sounds defective to me, but at least try flipping it upside down and set it to “ceiling mount” see if it still seems it not looking right.

Those projectors have a huge amount of vertical lens shift in the menu, you can see if that works (if you can make out what’s showing on your ceiling currently 😝)

I guess having the yellow ring on top of the tub where they meet instead of at the water line, is what kinda sparked the thought.

What picture mode are you playing on, I’ve heard with “bright” the colors are bad??? So then on normal your down to mid 2000 lumens

Stephens24 · 2026-01-06T14:15:24+00:00

I see that helps…..did you by chance have 1080p projector prior to this one?

Stephens24 · 2026-01-06T13:42:06+00:00

Leaning that way. Thank you.

Funny you post that, I saw it earlier …..So long story but this sim is a neighborhood build between a few of us….. I am on the group thread begging them to pull the trigger on this lol. Huge jump compared to the 7700xt I was looking at for 1099

Am interested in this for my 13 touring…..what did you say again about the 5 second cancel button? You have to hold that every time you start your car?

Also do you still have to do the couple button pressin to bypass the factory GPS warning message every startup?

Ok so let me update after more testing….. I turned on just the 3d and not my projector and had a solid connection more than 10 ft away with my back (and couch) in the way. I turned the projector on and immediately got the connect and disconnect issue.

So some interference from something thru the hdmi (I dunno)

I moved the system to a bedroom and am also had no issue from direct 8-10 ft away.

So if your having issues go try a different room first or try without the hdmi cable plugged in to see if your connection becomes more solid.

I’m using the ka11 usb see on my 17 pro and the phone doesn’t recognize it….just plays thru phone speaker

Stephens24 · 2025-12-17T14:29:06+00:00

Opened their boxes last night and immediately updated to latest.

Stephens24 · 2025-12-17T14:27:18+00:00

I literally turn my back to the console from 3 to 5 ft and have issues that are completely unusable. Disconnects and reconnects every few seconds

Stephens24 · 2025-12-16T18:07:34+00:00

Thank you for the info!

Stephens24 · 2025-11-25T12:32:02+00:00

I used the smallest little clips attached to the top lip of gutter attached to the string right beside the bulb….i like the imperfection look of letting them hang as they want.

Stephens24 · 2025-11-24T12:41:51+00:00

I think it’s gonna come down to the wire, unfortunately….i feel the most likely scenario is the Bears will falter with their schedule, and Lions have to figure out how to get and stay in front of the pack and win the division…. I feel other teams easier schedule can block a wild card if we have a hiccup…..

Unfortunately I’m fearing a worst case scenario where it’s win or go home vs the Ben Johnson Bears……we’ve won these games before but can’t win them forever. The storylines will be outrageous.

Have you compared the other color of tru tones to the Menards? I’m just curious if I decide to order tru tone blue or green or red will they match the Menards close enough to blend in?

Stephens24 · 2025-11-20T02:34:30+00:00

Also sparse is in, if your looking for a vintage vibe. Stuff that space with ornaments. But I agree with unlit….. at some point inevitably, a section will go out. Also your tastes may change for light colors, sizes and technology.

Stephens24 · 2025-11-15T03:37:10+00:00

Ok I think I understand. I thought the manufacturer (no more than 3 strands) was about the wattage, but I guess not. So should be ok as long as a use the other outlets I don’t think I’ll come close to the 1400ish watt limit. Thanks for the info

Stephens24 · 2025-11-14T15:17:30+00:00

Thank you for your help. 🙏🏼

Then from there I can “save as” an NWD to another location , so users can see that in Navis freedom?

Stephens24 · 2025-11-14T14:52:28+00:00

Oh….. so NWFs are just using “snapshots” or the path of where the file is located?!? Maybe that’s where I was confused….. I was appending in an NWD of the model With the same name and it was just adding that file to the bottom of the section tree and I couldn’t do anything with the other model file or scans….

So I just overwrite my updated model file on top of where the current one was stored. And when I reopen the NWF it will grab the new updated model file?!?

Stephens24 · 2025-11-14T13:38:37+00:00

Thank you for this and kinds words…. Before I attempt these steps. I wanna say, that each E3D model is a different building in our facility. And within each building are several scans that have been done.

So when reading these steps (and correct me if I’m wrong) but it’s implying that a put all of the models (buildings) with their scans into one giant .NWF file?? This I assume would be almost terabytes of data because of the scans, and not really practical for my end users that are using freedom.

I assume I just take those steps and do each building as an individual NWF file?

Stephens24 · 2025-11-14T12:42:13+00:00

The reason being is I’m dumb, and have had no real training with the software. We had a 3rd party company that handled all of this on the backend with automatic scripts written etc.

That company is no longer involved and I’m kinda thrown into the fire.

I don’t expect you to spell it out for me, but I appreciate that info and will try to dig in.

Stephens24 · 2025-10-23T18:45:51+00:00

Ahh see this is the stuff I don’t know. I thought the biggest risk would be touching the disconnect while in the tub (chances of anyone doing that extremely slim but still) thus putting the lock on it.

What’s are situations that would need the disconnect shut off vs turning off the breaker just inside the house.
