Infinity Mirror Light
This Infinity Mirror was as much a test of a new material (Bronze filled) as it was a nice project to undertake. The end result is a magical living room lamp controlled through an ESP32.

Material and Design
Another added benefit is the modularity of the 3D printed parts. With small adjustments the same Infinity Mirror can be produced as a cube or octahedron. Allowing for many different configurations without costly moulds.
Final Result
However, when the LEDs turn on a whole new dimension is added to the lamp. Creating all kinds of magical patterns and shapes using the ESP32 microcontroller which is capable of controlling all sorts of animations.

Material and Design
The frame for the Infinity Mirror is FDM-printed out of a fusion of PLA plastic and bronze powder. This means that the final product weathers and feels similar to bronze, while still allowing to keep the ribs hollow, saving weight and employing a snap fit for the mirror panels.

During the day with the LEDs turned off, the infinity mirror simply looks like an interesting object with the mirror panels on all sides.
