Tense-Kitty Tensegrity LED Candle Holder With DIY Magnetic Pogo Connector

Minimalist creation designed specifically to showcase the beauty of flickering LED candles. This small equipment uses the tensegrity principle to create a mesmerizing display platform for two flickering LED candles.The table's lightweight and airy design elegantly suspends the LED candles, allowing their gentle glow to illuminate the surrounding space.

Do not use real candles on it!

Materials:

Lasercut plywood pieces. Design attached.

2pcs LED candles

Molybdenum wire: very thin 0.05 mm, strong, conductive and solderable.

4 pcs 3x3 mm Neodymium magnets ( +1 piece 2mm x 2mm magnet to set the proper gap).

3 ballpoint pens for candles. They have springs for this project.

A few centimeters of copper tape and copper wire. I used 5 and 10 mm wide tapes.

Spray paint (and primer)

Superglue.

Tools:

Wire snips

Drill and bits 0.8mm, 3mm, 6mm

I don't have a laser cutter, fortunately, many companies on the Internet offer suitable service.

I used a CD to support the structure while wiring. Wiring is simple, make 2-3 loops, put some super glue on it and it's done. The disc helps to keep the balance in the center. Do not over tighten the wires.

I have taken pictures for better understanding.

Although the surface of these magnets are well solderable, unfortunately because of Curie point these neodymium magnets are not solderable. They loose their magnetic power entirely around 200 celsius degree.This trick is to save magnets against the heat shock.

You can make your own design. Be creative :)
