A sundial that projects the current time as legible digits within its shadow, requiring no batteries, motor, or electronics. The geometry of the piece is calculated so that sunlight produces shadow patterns forming recognisable numerals at different times of day. It suits garden or windowsill display and serves as a science demonstration piece. PETG handles outdoor sun exposure better than PLA, making it a sensible choice for a sundial intended for garden use.
Printing Digital Sundial
For Digital Sundial we would normally reach for PLA — it is the easy, economical default and suits the majority of models. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
