Magnetic Levitating Lithophane MoonCaveatsThis is a somewhat advanced print and build. If you're new to 3D printing, you may want to start with something a little simpler like the (non-levitating) Lit Fractal Tree or the Moon Lamp.Getting the float to levitate on the base takes a bit of practice and finesse to properly work. Not recommended for children. If the float is jostled enough off center, it can fall and then it will slam into the base with a great deal of force (MAGNETS!) - possibly damaging both the base and the float.Not recommended in “unstable” places. Again, jostling the surface it rests on will cause the float to fall. Also, any power loss to the base will cause the float to fall with a great deal of force.Keep the base (it is a powerful electromagnet) away from pacemakers and other items susceptible to strong magnetic fields like old hard drives and magnetic media.AssemblyInstructions for assembling the base (as well as an alternate base model with a top switch) can
