This week’s Thing is of no practical value at all, but it looks dope, magnets are awesome, and it can sit on my desk and slowly spin. It’s a magnetic levitating thing I stumbled across on Instructables. Very simple to print and assemble. I printed the turbine in PETG and then forgot and printed the supports in PLA, so hopefully it holds together – won’t be in direct sun so I presume it ought to be fine. The mirrored surface on which the balance needle spins is a cut-down piece of an old hard drive.
