Infinity mirror cat ears

A few hours before a cat themed party I decided to try to make some infinity mirror cat ears based on @gellacraft’s tutorial on Hackster, (InfiniKitty Ears - Hackster.io) because I happened to have one-directional acrylic mirror, two way acrylic mirror, neopixels and a lasercutter kicking around, and that’s all it really took! :smiley: Hadn’t tried an infinity mirror effect before but it was really simple because of the acrylic and glowforge and hugely satisfying. Deffo will be using this skillset again.


I used the trace function and a shape I sketched based on the curve of the headband I was using. Worked better then I thought it might!

Wow! Definitely lives up to your avatar.

Hah! Can’t engrave onto the Glowforge lid with the Glowforge :wink: No temporal anomalies here.

You probably could with some arithmetic and a copper mirror or two but the Glowforge lid is not proofgrade and thus would not be warranted when it exploded.
