perpetual motion machine

This machine relies on magnets to function, I've created magnetic iron pla models that need to be printed one magnet per hole. Although laws of thermodynamics claim energy cannot be created or destroyed, I'm open to the possibility that these laws might not apply in this case. It's a work in progress, and I believe it will work if done correctly. If you have any suggestions, please share them in the comments section. The idea is that a magnet will pull down another magnet as it falls smoothly, aided by gravity. To print this design, please post a picture of your completed project. If you'd like to make modifications, let me know. I've had many previous designs and would be happy to share files for customization purposes if anyone's interested. Make sure to post your final product in the comments section. Print Settings: Printer: FlashForge Dreamer Rafts: Optional Supports: Yes Resolution: 240-100 Infill: 80 Notes: For the parts, supports are mainly needed for the axle, while the wheel does not require them. Orientate it with a flat face facing down. Raft is also optional for the magnets as they're small. Print the stand and magnets reasonably heavy, using 80-90 percent infill.
