Description

This 3D printed spiral disc transforms a simple continuous line into a striking optical illusion of a cheetah’s head. When viewed from a distance, the image appears sharp and expressive; up close, it reveals a smooth geometric spiral that adds depth and movement to the design.

The design emphasizes speed, focus, and elegance—traits commonly associated with the cheetah—translated into a clean, modern piece of optical art. The contrast between lines and spacing creates a dynamic image that changes depending on lighting, filament color, and viewing angle.

Ideal as a decorative wall piece, desk ornament, or modern art display, this model is designed for easy printing without supports and works beautifully with both single-color and high-contrast filaments to enhance the illusion effect.
