Can Magnets Be Used to Achieve Levitation in 3D Printing?

How did you find PF?

Hi, I'm Paul and I'm 50 years young. I do computer programming, recently started 3d printing, and an now interested in magnets, especially for making objects levatate. I would love to make a floating light, either with vertically placed magnets suspending an object between them, or with a floating platform to support said object.

Thanks for the link I've already done some research and I know that a levitation platform is very difficult to achieve without electromagnetic systems and sensors. I will post a question about it elsewhere.
