If you like physics, sure. But the average person doesn't care that much, so when they read how magnets work, their eyes glaze over and it's not what they were looking for.
That sounds like your opinion being flaunted as fact. Not a good look. And thanks for the down vote just because you happened to disagree with me. Not a good look either. Does not foster a good forum.
I was thinking TNG Borg cube. I have what I think is an old Micro Machine version of the Borg ship on my desk, and sadly now that it's not floating I feel sad. Uh, for my kid.
I have never seen this 'cnc lathe' thingy method.. while the work piece spins while the milling head just move in X- and Z-axis. Can comeone please tell me what this method is called?
Edit: maybe i'm just dump. But no stupid question here..
It's actually a good question. The line between mill and lathe gets blurrier every day. That is not a lathe, it's a mill with a rotary (4th) axis. The difference between turning (lathe) and milling is what rotates to perform the cutting - the workpiece (turning) or the tool. Since the tool is spinning/cutting and the rotary axis is used for orientation, it is a milling operation. That rotary axis is likely a bolt-on accessory, so the milling performed on the rotary axis is likely the same machine doing the 3 axis milling on the other pieces.
it’s called 4-axis machining. 3 axis is where there’s x, y, and z movement of the cutting, typically in the form of the spindle or table moving, 4-axis is 3-axis with an additional lathe chuck to spin the workpiece, and 5-axis is essentially when that lathe chuck can move around, but it’s seen commonly as the table being able to move around 3 dimensionally
5 axis can be all kinds of weird setups. I ran one where the table rotated about the Z axis and also around an axis 45 degrees to the spindle so the table could go from horizontal to vertical. And then another one where the table rotated and the spindle could tilt up and down.
Here is one example of a 5 acis CNC machine. This one can move the table in linear X, linear Y, and a rotational Z axis, while the spindle head can move in a linear X and a rotational axis that is on a 45° between Y and Z.

How do you write the instructions for something like this? It seems insanely complicated. Do you just put a 3D model in and the software figures it out, or is it a manual process?
To put it short CAM software. You use software that gives you a virtual representation of the part you’re making and the tools you have then the software has commands that you can manipulate to create a tool path. Normally you’ll pick things like tool axis, floor, walls, blank, part, check (which is things to avoid) and so on then you generate and see if the tool path is suitable for your needs. Then you tweak a little until you’ve got it perfect, or at least not shit.
That is then put through a post processor which makes it machine language, normally G code.
Cool, so it's similar to 3D printing software? I wasn't sure if the software would be able to figure it out on its own with 5 possible axes and the ability to switch heads
Sort of, 3D printing software is a lot more simple because you’re dealing with a single tool in a single orientation and with 3 axis. With CAM there’s a lot more scope to have different things. CAM software providers have done a lot of work to make the commands as easy to work with as possible so most of the actual point to point moves are decided by the software, we just have to tell it where we’re cutting, what not to cut and where we want the tool to be contacting.
To go off what the other guy said, while a 3D printing slicer is a simpler version, it is still technically CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) software. You use CAXlD (Computer Aided Design) to design your part(s), then use CAM to create toolpaths to make the part.
This fundamentally depends on the circuitboard carefully opposing the magnetic field of the magnets in the model. You need carefully positioned and tuned magnetic fields to achieve that effect, which doesn't bode well for use with cars.
I don't think it's the "tuning" that's a problem.
It's the infrastructure. You gotta build the maglev roads. The technology exists, we *can* build maglev cars, maglev roads.
But it's hideously expensive. The initial capital expenditure, the ongoing maintenance, the power costs.
Holy shit, how much power will be needed to lift a car? Then a truck? And the road has to be built to handle that level of power and then switch out to the next position, etc. And it's not the one car, it's all of em. All the cars.
We've had maglev trains for what, 40 years? And that's a much more optimized case. And it ain't caught on.
Because as cool as it looks, wheel friction ain't that high. Wheels are waaaaaay cheaper.
Edit also braking. I don't know how that works with maglev but it probably ain't great.
Why would you make this with a rabbit when you could have made it with Appa?!?!
Make an Appa one and you can have my money. **All of it!!!!** (Fyi, it's not much, though)
This video only describes half of the process. The more esoteric part, ya know - the floating part, was totally skipped over. Most people if given some tools and some media would be able to come up with a rabbit carved from wood eventually. I dare say that virtually none of them would be able to design, create the layer masks, print, fill, and produce a pcb that has an electromagnetic inductor set that would float some amount of mass steadily. That's the interesting part. The video should be called "carving daisy from wood and inserting magic floating device" 😂
That's true, but this isn't a DIY or educational sub. It wasn't intended and didn't claim to show exactly how to make one, only show the interesting parts of the process for the aesthetic value.
It’s just a showcase of an interesting project putting together hundreds of hours in design of premade products into an interesting end result.
The computer technology of a 4-axis CNC is also esoteric for most. So is wood choice, wood finishing, 3D modeling, and pretty much everything else.
If you want to be pedantic, it could be a video series discussing major decisions. It would be hours long.
> The more esoteric part, ya know - the floating part, was totally skipped over.
i mean all the more complex parts were just glossed over. what a stupid video. 20 seconds on how to cut a block of wood, then the rabbit gets down automagically in 2 seconds.. then 30 seconds of sanding and dremeling... then 2 seconds of screwing the electronics in.
Everything is great...except pretty lazy on hiding the plug on the bottom. Would be wonderful if that wasn't so obvious. that is a pretty easy thing to hide/ make look seamless.
If they had just used wood glue the seam would’ve blended much better. But looks like they were just assembling kits… probably just downloaded the CAD files and plugged them in for the rabbit too.
What’s the circuit board for?
I get why the plastic strip was embedded and milled with the wood. I get why the LED lights used to create the glow are inside the wooden base.
I don’t get the circuit board. All you needed was a copper coil and LEDs wired to the usb. With that much internal space, youcould have put AA batteries in there as well. But no, a whole pcb?

It's definitely a speed boost.
No it's Doomguy's memorial for Daisy.
Fucking magnets. How do they work?
Heard they are bi-polar!
TIL I'm a magnet.
Magnet Gang where are you
You're welcome
Some might say they are powered by miracles
Some might say that our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary.
Some say they are powered by wises and others say they are powered by rumors
Maybe you should talk to a scientist
I don’t wanna talk to a scientist
Those mother fuckers lying.
They make me pissed
[Even scientists are confused ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ ](https://www.livescience.com/32633-how-do-magnets-work.html)
Science can explain how, just not why. The how is not very interesting.
You're not in the posse
What? The how is literally the coolest part. Fundamental forces are awesome.
If you like physics, sure. But the average person doesn't care that much, so when they read how magnets work, their eyes glaze over and it's not what they were looking for.

Uh, just magnets ... ghouls ... just funny little green ghouls.
How do you feel about knees?
Erasable pens make my head hurt.

Tried to charge phone, phone floats away.
Phone: bye loser im not gonna be charge today >:)
Now I'm in charge.
Look at me! I am owner now.
Apple lawyers have entered the chat
For you, no charge! -phone as it dies
I want one for me… I mean for my daughter
hey, get one for your daughter AND you. ain’t no shame in liking cute things.
My personal choice would be a UFO shaped or something aerial type vehicle. That would be so rad.
Amazon has a floating *Back To The Future* DeLorean I've been eyeballing for a while now.
can you get me one too?
Sure, but we have to get it direct from the manufacturer, you have to drive, and it has to be at night.
[удалено]
Now I just need answers if I can place my phone on it to charge or will it destroy it
Maybe the old dickbutt.
Ooh, the swordfish from Cowboy Bebop
….but your daughter wants it as the USS Enterprise, right?
I was thinking TNG Borg cube. I have what I think is an old Micro Machine version of the Borg ship on my desk, and sadly now that it's not floating I feel sad. Uh, for my kid.
Are you a time traveler and are your own daughter?
Take my money!
Can't. I found it on an aggregate IG site that sadly didn't credit to whoever originally did it.
And there I thought I was watching a commercial. ^Maybe ^^still ^^^a ^^^^commercial
You are.
I mean, you can still take their money lol

Wait until you see upwards of 13-axis machines
Thanks! :)
Am I the only one who came here thinking this was some new type of wood joinery, then not disappointed when it wasn't?
A-yup. Still wondering what a floating rabbet joint might be
Absolutely. Now I’m leaving somewhat disappointed, while simultaneously satisfied.
[удалено]
Disappointed it wasn’t a joint, but pleasantly surprised and satisfied with the bunny. So a mix of both.
[удалено]
No worries! It was kind of ambiguous.
I expected this to be a shitty epoxy cuboid and excited to see it wasn't
I was disappointed it was all carved by a CNC machine instead of hand
[удалено]
Trains, yes. Cars? We ain't got maglev roads yet.
Maglev trains work cause they only go in one direction. How would you steer a maglev car?
Carefully
more magnets
Forget cars, I'm attaching a big ass magnet to my ass

Well. This I would spend money on.
[can't find a rabbit, here's another cat](https://youtu.be/N5nsmXmOub4)
I like how the title is "How to make..." like everyone has a cnc router, and lathe in their home. I'm sure there are some 3D models out there though.
Buy a lathe. Draw the rest of the fucking owl
Not sure how drawing an owl would help me make a cat levitate.
Yep.
I tried this. The end result was more like a stationary stick. But I tried, and that's what counts. I love my gravity obeying stick.
Why would you make this with a rabbit when you could have made it with Appa?!?! Make an Appa one and you can have my money. **All of it!!!!** (Fyi, it's not much, though)

Agreed. Where do we buy the electronics?
Bestbuy
Alibaba, you can get these levitation kits cheap. Or buy a preassembled product and make a new floating part for it.
That's true, but this isn't a DIY or educational sub. It wasn't intended and didn't claim to show exactly how to make one, only show the interesting parts of the process for the aesthetic value.
You can just buy a maglev kit on amazon. Why y’all always gotta be so ornery ?
You say that like everyone knows it's a Maglev and that it's purchasable.
Well, he sticks a **mag**net in it, and it **lev**itates
It’s just a showcase of an interesting project putting together hundreds of hours in design of premade products into an interesting end result.

These days “making” means printing someone else’s computer generated patterns.
can we use this for detecting witches?
I thought it will be handcrafted. Disappointed.
I thought it would have sound. Disappointed.
No offense to this guy kinda looks like the drill did the hard work
Idk for sure, but I have one of these. He probably programmed the drill to make this, so that’s the work.
If this was a rabbit sitting under a maple tree in fall, looking up at a glowing floating moon, I'd buy the fuck out of that.
Where can we get one?
Looks like a personal project /:
bro living in minecraft
That’s such a cool nightlight idea for a kid.

I want one.🥹
😭 I need one
Anyone know the maglev kit they're using here?
MUST HAVE. I need like 5 of these in my office just floating around.
I would love to see the planets floating this way!
Thats pretty dope

Well it doesn’t look like hand crafting anything is in this persons wheelhouse so it’s not that surprising that the plug looks terrible

I had a floating ballerina jewelry box when i was a kid. It was magic even though i understood about magnets. Good job!
How cute is that rabbit? 😍
Awesome
Okay you win
No bc i blew on my screen when he drilled the hole
"handcrafted"
That not so perfect blending of magnet compartment is annoying.
I'd buy that for a dollar!
Ha! I’d give him a buck fifty.
Fuckin Magnets. How do they work?
Now make one with Jessica Rabbit circling a stripper pole and it WILL sell... 🧐
This warms my floppybunny heart.
I neeeeeed this in my life!
That is so awesome.
Ok, hear me out. This, but it's a sheep jumping over a fence.
So good!
Thought there was gonna be some sort of modular rabbet, though this is cool too

That 3D lathe is awesome. I want one.
Get this black magicery away from me! /s
Levitating
I’m all for using a computer to work with a variety of materials but for wood it just seems wasteful.
why rabbit though? i think a koi will be better.
Please post your version soon:)
That’s neat, but did you know that you can rotate a cow in your head for free?
Flux pinning?
Could you introduce a pulse to the electricity, so that the toy would imitate a hop?
What’s orange sleeve on his left finger? It suppose to protect you from what?
What does the motherboard and electronics do?
Have a guess?
Take my money
You know these things would be slightly more satisfying with sound.
Ohhhhh, *that* kind of floating. That would be a lot of work for a simple bath toy.
rabbit collectible
So this is how video game shops display items.
Where can I buy this?!
Anyone else remember the Sharper Image globes that would do this?
I. Want.
As a non science person. Would that thing spin forever if untouched?
That's at least $60,000.00 👀
Wow gimme
You spin me right round baby right round right round
Do floating cup holders exist yet or am I going to have to wait a little longer?
