Infinity Cube
December 24, 2018
Back in 2015 I made an Infinity Mirror with RGB Led strips.
Infinity Mirror
How it's done:
The infinite mirror needs one real mirror for the backside. And one glass plate on the front side. You will need a "mirror foil" for the front glass too. The foil has to face the mirror.
The most difficult part is "the attaching of the foil". But it's kind of easy, if you put soap water on the glass, rub it, then put the foil on it and use a credit card to wipe from the center to the corners.
For the gap between these two glass surfaces:
Then glue some LED strips inside the frame.
And that's it.
After breaking some glass plates, deep hand cuts, damaging the foil with the card and much more it is done easily

This year I built a cube with some trees and happy bushes in it.

For the infinite landscape cube you need nearly the same steps as in the previous very detailed instructions.
The only differences are:
I bought a bunch of square picture frames (20cm x 20cm) from my local hardware store.
One frame on the top and bottom for a nice look:

On the inside of the top white frame, solder a few LED’s together and hot-glue some wadding/ cotton on them. Mount this construction on a square wood (20x20) , paint it and seal it (at last!) with opaque silicone.
Into the bottom frame, we put in our electronics. The power adapter with the needed voltage and a switch. (My 2m white cable has a switch in the middle)
Finally decorate the floor with trees like for the "model train scenery" or something similar.

Always remember: First test it, then seal it.
Merry Christmas and have a nice holiday.
