3D print your own digital sundial

Fast foward to 13:27 of the video to see it in action.

Mojoptix has developed an Open Source digital sundial that you can download and make if you have a 3d printer.

The sundial has a few caveats like it can only tell time between 10AM and 4PM and also only in 20 minute increments. So for example, you will only see time like 10:00, 10:20, 10:40 rather than numerals between :00 and :20. This is understandable considering the dial is still limited to shadow play and works with very sensitive angles to display these times in analog.
