Episode 37 of Tina Tries is basically science pretending to be magic. This week, I 3D print and assemble a magnetic levitation TARDIS that literally floats above its base. No strings. No tricks. Just magnets, patience, and a lot of weebly-wobbly timey-wimey fun. I walk through the print, the assembly, and the surprisingly nerve-wracking moment where you try to balance something that actively wants to escape physics. If you love 3D printing projects that look impossible, sci-fi desk displays, or builds that make visitors ask “HOW is that floating?”, this one’s for you. ⸻ 🔗 Links & Credits Original Model Link: https://makerworld.com/models/1115792?appSharePlatform=copy DjangoCashflow‘s Page: https://makerworld.com/@DjangoCashflow?appSharePlatform=copy ⸻ Want to print your own? 🛠️ Materials Used (Amazon Affiliate Links) • Elegoo Blue PETG: https://amzn.to/4pQUS07 • Elegoo Black PETG: https://amzn.to/3LpIhD7 • Elegoo White PETG: https://amzn.to/3NwsqTI Non-Affiliate Links • Bambu Magnetic Levitation DIY Kit: https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/magnetic-levitation-diy-kit ⸻ Recording your own build? 🎥Video Tech I’m Using (Amazon Affiliate Links) • MacBook Pro: https://amzn.to/4fUDiVJ • MacBook Air: https://amzn.to/4fYodlZ • Main camera: iPhone: https://amzn.to/3Kgci7p • iPad Pro: https://amzn.to/484Eioo • DJI Microphone: https://amzn.to/4fQZsYG • Lighting Kit: https://amzn.to/4mZvggp ⸻ 🛍️ Want your own piece of Tina Tries history?

About This Video

Episode 37 of Tina Tries is me doing that thing where science looks like straight-up magic: I 3D printed and assembled a magnetic levitation TARDIS that literally floats above its base. No strings, no hidden stand—just magnets, patience, and a whole lot of “please don’t yeet yourself off the table” energy. I used the MagLev DIY kit for the base, printed the TARDIS parts in PETG, and then worked through the build like I always do: try, tweak, learn, and show you the whole journey. In this video I walk through the print, the assembly, and the most nerve-wracking part—getting the TARDIS balanced in that tiny sweet spot where it stops fighting physics and starts hovering. If you’re into impossible-looking desk displays, Doctor Who props, or 3D printing projects that make people walk into your room and immediately ask “HOW is that floating?”, this build is for you. My biggest takeaway: the printing is the easy part—dialing in alignment and staying calm while it wobbles is the real boss fight.
