Hoverpen

Inspired by the Novium line of hoverpens, this DIY hoverpen is a conversation starter! Using commonly available magnets and the beloved Pilot G2 pen core, this design won't break the bank or your wrist.

The design uses 1 (one) 3mm x 2mm magnet, and 38 (thirty eight) 8mm x 2mm magnets. The magnets don't have to be incredibly strong, I did not use N52 magnets but it wouldn't hurt if you choose to upgrade the magnet selection. I purchased this magnet kit off amazon, and have many magnets left over.

Assembly is easy, but may require light taps with a hammer to set the magnets correctly. All the magnets are oriented the same way! I chose north-up. This includes all the magnets in the pen as well.
