Projector Gobo Size Finder

When selecting the appropriate size for a Gobo pattern, consider the following factors:

Compatibility: Ensure the Gobo pattern size matches your projector. Check the product specifications, which typically list the compatible Gobo sizes.
Note that Gobo patterns have two dimensions: the outer diameter(OD) and the image diameter(ID). Both need to meet the projector’s requirements.

Pattern Details and Clarity: For detailed or intricate patterns, larger Gobos provide better resolution and ensure the design is projected clearly, especially at larger distances or sizes.

Material Options: Gobo patterns are available in metal, glass, or plastic materials. Glass Gobos are often preferred for larger sizes or complex, multi-colored designs.

Thickness of Gobo: typically depends on the material used. Here are common thickness ranges:

Metal Gobos: Usually around 0.2–0.5 mm thick. They are thin and lightweight but limited to simple designs.

Glass Gobos: Typically between 1.1–4 mm thick. They are thicker than metal Gobos and can display intricate details and multi-colored designs.
