Make a 2 Sided, Desktop Infinity Mirror...
Рет қаралды 2,039,137
Күн бұрынMost of the infinity mirrors that I've seen are one sided, but I wanted to build one a little bit different. This one is going to be 2 sided and designed so that it can be displayed on a desktop or a shelf. It's an easy, very cool project to make! To me it kind of looks like it could be a Stargate.

1st and foremost this is awesome project and good video... love the window effect sugestion: 1. buy a 2' x 2' sheet of wood at desired thickness. sandwhich the 2 plexisheets to the wood sheet. (better than all those pieces 2. draw your pattern. drill your screws / bolt patterns and secure (head ache saver, use something with flush heads.. replace end product with desired bolts)... 3.cut with a fine tooth jigsaw blade ... or scroll saw. use a drill bit to make a starter hole when cutting out the center. note: monitor your blade & bit speed + pressure. doing it this way makes it easier to create all kinds of shapes... cut your designs out in cardboard for templates so you can easily reproduce. there are alot of cool spray paints out there to add texture effects to you final design... a super high sand paper helps smooth everthing out. if you own a router you could also inlay your plexit sheets.

Interesting this stuff is only getting popular now. Back in the '70s, I was building these for friends, and even installed a large version in a buddy's van, back in the day when guys were tricking out their vans with fancy interiors, lighting, and air-brushed exterior artwork. Loved doing airbrushing back then, too, but the infinity mirror idea hit me when I was playing with a couple pieces of two-way mirror, and suggested it would make a great panel on a wall, or a table sculpture, so he paid for the materials and I put one together over the next couple days. It had a lighting controller that would allow the edge lighting to do a movie-marquee-style thing with any speed variation he wanted. This video's method is showing a way that's a little cheaper than buying pieces of actual 2-way mirror, which can get ridiculously expensive, depending on reflectivity grade.

To get a deeper reflection, use a different tinting such as silver or gold. You can get tinting with silver on both sides and tinting with silver on one side and blackish colour like yours on the other side. I really like your design. Thanx for the tips.

You could put in a third layer that is fully reflective on both sides in the middle to have it still be double sided but avoid the “infinity window” effect of seeing through to the other side.

Color Changing LEDs with a controler would make that definatively sicker. You can add a cut out of a character or something on a thin plastiglass, and set it in the middle, so that it gives the impression of someone going through, and since there's a gap between the cut out and each side of the mirrors, when you look at it at an angle it give some Perspective.

Hello. I haven't read all the comments but from those I did I did not see anyone actually answering to your request for design improvement suggestions. My first recommendation is to try using thicker wood for the frame. Not much but I would try double. And the strip in the middle at equal distance from the edges. Next, I would try using a slightly darker tint. Finally, I don't know if they are available in your area but there are some led strips with round leds. Not just the led is round, their plastic holder, too. The ones I used were smd 5050 if I remember correctly. And if you also manage to find led strip led strip with the actual strip being black instead of white, I believe that would make a big difference. Good idea and work!
@HowDoYouDIY 4 жыл бұрын
There have been some comments about improvements, but most have been a bit general and not too specific. Like "make a different base" or "use different LEDs." I do appreciate all comments, but suggestions like yours that are very specific are awesome! Thanks for the tips!

Thank you everybody for your support and for all the constructive feedback on this video! I made it so that it can be a starting point and inspiration for your projects. I did make some mistakes in the process of building it, but I do appreciate all of the constructive criticism in the comments because that helps other viewers on their projects. One thing that I want to point out that some of my viewers have mentioned is that I drilled through 2 of the glued joints. That's not something you would want to do. The only reason I did is because it isn't supporting any weight and it allowed me to give it a balanced look for the bolts. But eventually that joint will break and I will need to deal with that. Please continue to leave helpful feedback so that new viewers can benefit from your input!

Ok it was a while since I last did anything with optics but you might get a better result if you put on more pice of plexiglass or of a plane of glass between the two outer plexiglass but touching the inner part of the of the mirror film. I would also try using less directional individual leds and use a epoxy with the same refractive index as the middle part to create a pice that is solid all the way through but is a laminate of materials of different refractive index. Also you can get the semi reflective film in a whole lot of different grades of transparency so you could make it none transparent all the way but still give the infinity mirror from both sides effect.

Wonderful! I love your ideas, and the way that you go about test fitting everything, and trying out your ideas. I think that you idea to place the tint to the inside is really good! I have dealt with tint for years, and this is by far the best way to have done it. Have you thought about reproducing both of your frames, and placing them on the outside of the plexiglass? That way you actually have an outer frame. This would possibly strengthen the whole structure. And also, try using smaller screws. Something that will disappear into the framework. Not so noticeable...Keep up the great work! I love this!

If you make the frame a little wider, you could put 2 mirrors back to back at the center of the frame. Then add a second ring of LEDs so that the bulbs are between each side of the mirrors and tint. This would give a true double sided infinity mirror and not window effect!

That's a good idea, using actual mirrors inside would make the effect look deeper. You could even use different color LEDs in each side!

thanks for the video, excellent project. Try threaded rod, blue loctite anti-seize and chrome or brass acorn nuts to replace screws and lock nuts fasteners.

I looked at the title and read "Desktop" so I assumed the last word was "Monitor". So I was like "Infinity Monitor ? How does that even work ? And it's 2 sided too ? What the hell ! ......Needless to say I'm a moron.

LMAO! This is something from the '70's. I looks amazing if done right. You aren't a moron. You just read it wrong, it ok. An infinity monitor would be, uh, interesting, to say the least. Something that you could possibly invent? It's something to think about...Have a good one!

i would do one side a full one way mirror and the other a normal transparent mirror that way you can flip one side and be able to see through it like this one but then flip it to have an endless LED tunnel effect

@Sjeedughait 5 жыл бұрын
an idea, you can use an lcd screen on the edges of the mirror instead of normal lights. can the lcd scherm cause a holographical or 3 d effect ? if you use one side of the mirror with one lcd images and the other side with a Different angle from an other perspective from the same lcd image. ( an other picture .jpg or movie.avi) have fun

in my opinion it looks even better since you got the angles wrong :D

Great tutorial on showing someone how it can be done. For one, different bolts could definitely be used. Kind of hurts the look. Two, a possibility of RGBW functionality if possible.
@HowDoYouDIY 5 жыл бұрын
I agree those tips would definitely improve this. I also like the idea of holding everything together without bolts showing at all. That would be a nice clean look 😁

Yes, definitely. That's something I absolutely want to do. It will be a lot of work to add all of the effects that I want, but it will be worth it.

Add an Arduino Nano and change the white led strip with RGB NeoPixel Strip (Driver WS2812), That way you can make your infinity mirror colorfull and programmable

What if you tried to use glue instead of bolts? I know it could easily get inside near the led bud it might worth a try.

Nice. Learning how to make wood joints could help in the stability of the mirror, maybe wood pins, instead of glue. Seriously though, you could make and sell these. Maybe 2 strips of LED's or different colour ones, tri-state LED's maybe... Great project and thanks for sharing :)
@HowDoYouDIY 5 жыл бұрын
Great advice on the wood joints! I've been thinking about how cool it would be to use 2 rows of LED strips with colorful addressable LEDs that cycle colors in opposite directions.
