I'm thrilled to unveil my new 3D printed Levitation device! How crazy is that? It's possible and actually not too difficult to make. I really had a lot of fun with this project and I am so happy with how it turned out. I hope you enjoy it!
Please watch the video because it helps to see the assembly. Thank you for watching!

Materials:
MOSFET IRFZ44N N-Channel Jameco #669951
Hall Effect Sensor A3144 Unipolar Jameco #1718701
4x AA Battery Holder Cover & Switch Jameco #216187
Neodymium Ring Magnets 9.5x1.5mm (Or any small strong magnet)
Magnet Wire AWG 30 (aka Enamel Wire)
Steel Screw 4x15mm Philips head
1K Resistor (Brown, Black, Red)
Mini breadboard 25 tie-points
Print the spool holders very slowly since the walls are thin. When put together with the screw, they will be stronger. You could always use glue if they break.
Notes: Be careful and don't leave this unattended or on for more than a few minutes. The coil does get warm. Be safe and have fun!
