TinyLev Acoustic Levitator extras

thingiverse

Extra parts for making the TinyLev Acoustic Levitator just a little better. https://youtu.be/tDtgPn6Iq8M Mounts for individual components are included if you want to redesign this with a different layout or if you have a different switch, etc. I had a 2"x2" circuit board and mounted the buttons to that. The levitator itself is just friction-fit into my base. It can be glued into place. Other designs put the circuit board directly under the levitator. This seem less than ideal if you want to suspend water droplets. Multiple mounting holes are included for you to attach the thing to a wooden board or something else. (Too many designers want to build their entire project with 3D printed parts. A scrap or wood, or even a $2 box from the craft store make for quick and elegant projects without hours of design and printing.) Details on the original project can be found here: https://www.instructables.com/Acoustic-Levitator/ Several kits are available online. These designs can be found on Tinkercad: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/6OdtTxT2mUT-electronics-mount-for-tinylev-acoustic-levitator/ Here's a longer explanation of some of the strange physics of ultrasound. https://youtu.be/8JmIXRoqjNI
