3d-Printed Infinity Lamps

The Cyber Loop Lamp Has RGB Lighting with a Layered 3d-Printed Design

The Cyber Loop Lamp is a DIY lighting project by LightCore3D that blends 3D printing with programmable LED technology. Standing approximately 25 centimeters tall, the lamp features a circular form composed of a colored outer shell and a transparent inner diffuser. This layered construction creates an illusion of depth when illuminated, producing an infinity-style lighting effect that gives the object a distinctive visual presence. The design files are available through MakerWorld and are intended for makers comfortable with both 3D printing and electronics assembly.

The lighting system uses nearly 300 WS2812B addressable RGB LEDs divided into three independent zones: a central funnel, an outer ring, and a series of internal spokes. An ESP32 controller running WLED firmware manages the effects, allowing users to customize colors, animations, and lighting sequences.

Trend Themes

  1. Programmable Decor — Connected lighting objects with customizable animations are turning static home accessories into software-defined design platforms with recurring personalization potential.
  2. Maker-led Products — Open design files and accessible electronics are expanding the role of hobbyist communities in prototyping niche consumer products before traditional manufacturers enter the category.
  3. Layered Light Effects — Multi-material 3D-printed structures paired with addressable LEDs are enabling compact products to create premium visual depth without costly industrial tooling.

Industry Implications

  1. Home Lighting — Residential lighting brands face new competition from customizable, digitally controlled fixtures that blend ambiance, art, and user-generated effects.
  2. Consumer Electronics — Modular controllers, LED components, and open firmware are supporting a growing ecosystem of personalized devices built around low-cost programmable hardware.
  3. 3D Printing — Desktop fabrication platforms are increasingly positioned as product-development channels for functional decor that combines printable forms with embedded electronics.
