Magnetic Levitating Minion. Uses magnets above Minion and magnets inside Minion suspended with fishing string (or thin/clear thread) to create levitating effect.
Additional parts needed:
Fishing String (or thin/clear thread)
4x 12.7mm (.5in x 1/16in) disc magnets - purchased at local hobby store
I recommend a drop of glue to hold the parts and magnets in place, although it's not necessary as the parts all fit pretty snug.
There are 3 main parts
The base, the Arm, and the Figure. The base snaps into the arm to lock in the string. Slot in back of figure to insert 2 magnets. I also included the .stl for the magnets (single and double) for reference in case you want to make your own figure.
Check your magnet direction before assembly!
