This is a simple inverse magnetic "pendulum", it uses powerful embedded magnet to create the effect of a levitating object. Use a thin nylon chord, fishing line, etc to attach the weight metal part and insert it in the lower hole, fix it it with a M3 screw o something. The powerful 30x10 NIB magnet inside the upper part will create a magnetic field strong enough to keep floating in the air small ferromagnetic metal objects, just fix the fishing line at an apropiate distance. The effect of a pendulum that keep its position even inverted is awesome!!
At print time: You will need a software/printer that can pause print at a custom height to be able to insert the magnet in the pendulum at mid print, and also to insert a 12mm steel ball in the weight cube. Dont use support for print. Remember you can even use a ball from some old Newton craddle you have around, these steel balls already have a hole for the fishing line. You can also use any other metal piece to make it levitate. Pics sho
