While browsing camera things I found a "rolleinar .75 filter" which makes no sense in the regular sense of a rolleinar. Turns out it goes to this odd, but cool rollei accessory device. 6x6 projectors are pretty hard to come by these days. Has anyone tried doing a DIY version of this?

I like it. Very clever. I'd be curious to see one in real life.

Depends on the way you mount the slide. Also keep mind that projection lenses in general are at the fast side, compared to LF taking lenses.

I saw that in Rollei literature I collected in the 1980s, but I'll admit I only heard of the USA made Graphlarger a few years ago.

Turning a camera into an enlarger was not new for me (think of Linhof). And of course the principle behind screen projection and enlarging is the same.
