BenQ W1070 for projection mapping
A classic cheap Full HD projector: the easiest way to try mapping at home. A home-cinema favourite that turns up used for very little. 2,000 lm is enough for a dark room and small objects: a 2 m wide image needs about 2.3–3 m of distance. It has a small vertical lens shift (±5%), handy for fine framing.
Typically Under $300 used
