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

Uploaded February 2020 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

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:
amzn.to/3p4itO2

► NeoPixel Strip:
amzn.to/3P8VUCh

► Arduino:
amzn.to/3BL9yZn

► Buck Converter:
amzn.to/3Qt4vRe

► CR2032 Coin cell holder:
amzn.to/3A4191G

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!

$Creality Ender 7 Assembly, Setup, Slicer Settings, Review and First Prints! In this video I will be walking you through the setup and assembly of the Creality Ender 7 3D printer! I will provide you with tips and suggestions along the way that you will not find in the user manual, and also take you through my slicer settings to get you the best print results avoiding frustration! Thank you to Mech Solutions for providing me with this printer! If you havent yet purchased your Creality Ender 7, head over to: ► https://www.mechestore.com/ Also check out their Cloud3DPrint software for an amazing cloud based 3D printer host solution! ► https://www.cloud3dprint.com/ The Creality Ender 7 is marketed as a printer built for speed. Although this appears to be the case based on the CoreXY motion system, large XY stepper motors and drivers, and high flow rate hot end, it seems to fall short of the advertised 250mm/s print speed. And this is simply due to the fact that Creality has very conservative machine limit settings in the firmware. The printer simply cannot accelerate fast enough with those settings to cut down on print time for small prints. This can easily be changed and you can get the printer moving quite a bit faster without any further modifications out of the box. Overall, you can get very respectable print quality at ~80mm/s external perimeters, and 125mm/s speeds for internal features. This is still better than most other consumer grade printers on the market today. With a large enough print, you can get the print head moving up to 250mm/s and the extruder/hot end combination will keep up, but dont expect exceptional quality of your print surfaces at this speed. When attempting to run very high speeds and accelerations, I noticed that quality is lost on sharp corners (as one would expect) and the printer would greatly benefit from some advanced compensation techniques like linear / pressure advance. The Z motion system also leaves something to be desired as it is fully cantilevered and the free end of the bed support sags. The adjustment screws and knobs will allow you to properly level the print bed, but it is very evident that you have to unscrew the front knobs much more to compensate. The use of V-wheels on the cantilevered Z motion system was also a questionable design choice. Despite all of this, the printer still manages to make very nice prints and there are no Z artifacts surprisingly. In future videos I plan to address several of the Creality Ender 7 shortcomings. Namely, I have already designed and prototyped a 3 point linear rod and lead screw system for this printer to eliminate the bed sag and increase the lateral stability of the print bed. After that, I will be installing Klipper and trying to do a more advanced tune and control for this printer in hopes of achieving much higher speeds while maintaining quality. Perhaps a direct drive extruder and hot end are also in the works! Overall, the Creality Ender 7 is a well built machine with a lot of potential. There are some issues that need to be addressed but stick with me and we will get this printer flying!
