How To Build A LEVITATING SpaceX Starship Lamp! 🚀 FREE Design Files Included! 🚀

In this video I'm going to show you how to build your own levitating SpaceX Starship lamp! I'll take you through the build step by step and show you how to use magnetic levitation to make your rocket levitate!

🚀 I've provided you with all of the design files for free here:

Big thank you to Nick from Thingiverse who shared his SpaceX Starship model in a file type I could edit for printing in spiral vase mode. If you want a more detailed SpaceX Starship model, you can find it on Nick's page here:

You'll need a 3D printer to print these files!

► The SpaceX Starship model was 3D printed in D3D silk silver PLA:

► The base was 3D printed in Fillamentum crystal clear PLA:

► The SpaceX Landing pad was 3D printed in eSun black PLA:

To build this lamp you're going to need a few main components that enable the model to float, and to provide the programmable lighting patterns you see in the video! As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases (at no extra cost to you):

► Magnetic Levitating Module:

► NeoPixel Strip:

► Arduino:

► Buck Converter:

► CR2032 Coin cell holder:

You will also need a few other small components like a resistor and capacitor to get the Adafruit NeoPixel strip working. You can find those details here... and more info about the NeoPixel RGB LED strips:

► Here is where you can find the program I modified for the fire/flame effect:

► And here is a great resource to programming the NeoPixels strips with your own ideas, but made easy!

► If you've never used an Arduino before, here are the basics:

Lastly, another big thank you to 'Samuel Kim' for allowing me to use some of his awesome cinematic music in certain parts of this video. Check out his channel here:

Thank you men,
I love this SpaceX lighting, thank you for everything, I'm going to build it.
Thank you.

This is so creative and insane...this needs much more attention

[unclerichard]

This is so awesome. I found the file and Thingiverse and it led me to this video. I was looking for a Starship model to test some silver silk pla with. Now I've got to make one of these.

Incredible job man, Maybe I replicate it.

Very Nice Project..! Video is clear and provides great presentation. I enjoyed/Liked your design and YouTube video enough to subscribe. My Magnetic Levitating Module just came in today and starting to slice and print the PLA piece parts.

[WeiFinder]

Pretty awesome! Some ways I'd do it differently personally would be keeping the same size as the "generic one" but with the rocket levitating over that growing narrowing thrust cloud. I'd also have less crazy light effects but that's just me 😁

I didn't even manage to levitate a magnet when I tried it lol, incredible :)

[starbasemymms]

This is incredible! Im ordering parts now. I am coming off of a 3day print for mothers day, but after that, ill get working on your bp’s.

I may have missed it on the video, but, is there a way to turn starship engine LED rocket engine lights off without having to remove the magnet?

[ValeryDjondo]

Thank you for your thorough information on your project. I'm despointed you have to weight up your creation with a battery and more over that you need to push a button with a screw driver.
I'd love to see you power your rockets light with an induction system...

Very nice video, I enjoy your work!!!

[ben_contreras]

This is amazing!, I would actually pay to buy one of these, how much would you list it for?

[ricardoboza]

This is amazing but I can't find the central piece in thingiverse website. Could you tell me from where I can download it? Thanks.

[williamgorham]

Is there a way for me to buy an assembled version of this from you?
