This project showcases a Wi-Fi–controlled spiral illusion lamp that combines 3D printing, electronics, and smart control to create a visually striking lighting effect. When powered on, the rotating spiral structure produces a mesmerizing optical illusion, making it perfect for desk decor, ambient lighting, or showcase builds.

Project Overview

The lamp uses a custom 3D-printed spiral design paired with addressable LEDs and a compact control circuit. The spiral motion and lighting effects together create a dynamic depth illusion that looks different from every angle.

Key Features

1. Wi-Fi–controlled lighting and effects
2. Smooth rotating spiral illusion
3. Custom 3D-printed enclosure and parts
4. Compact PCB design for clean integration
5. Ideal for decorative, maker, and demo setups

How It Works

The LED patterns are controlled wirelessly, allowing users to change colors, brightness, and effects in real time. The mechanical spiral enhances the lighting by creating motion-based visual depth, resulting in a unique illusion lamp experience. This project is shared as a featured community article to inspire makers interested in combining 3D printing, PCB design, and IoT-based lighting into a single creative build.
