This Rotating Rings optical illusion sits on a record player and spins. It gives the impression the rings are spinning on top of each other, rather than just rotating in place.

I designed this after watching Steve Mould's video about his favorite optical illusion. I highly suggest watching his video. He had a similar illusion, but I struggled to find a design online that would go over a record and had 3 rings stacked on each other.

Print it with supports, and I printed mine with 30% infill to add some strength. Removing the supports was a hassle and when the infill is set too low, the rings can break apart from each other.
