Maglev Cloud 

This was a fun brain collab between myself and my arts & crafts -crazed brother! 

The model itself is very basic and serves as a base for the wool, this is a fun lil diy project that isn't just printing.

Hardware needed: 

• Magnetic Levitation -kit
• Superglue
• Scissors

Software needed: 

• Wool filling 

Instructions:

1. Gather all your materials

   

   and

   

    

   2.  Insert the led and coil into the base

   

    

   3. Add the spacer ring

   

    

   4. Place the magnetic puck, tucking the excess wiring below 

   

    

   5. Place the top part of the magnet housing. Align the grooves to that you dont pinch the wires.

   

   

    

   6. Take some cotton and ball it up. Glue to the shell, starting from the bottom going around the model.

   

   I tried to go with roughly this kind of pattern. The ball sizes and specific placements should not be exact, it gives the cloud a more natural look.

   

    

   7. Once done, trim from the bottom to achieve a more “flush” bottom profile.

   

   

    

   8. Bring the pieces together and your done!
