JULLDOZER OF MOJOPTIX CREATED 3D PRINTED DIGITAL SUNDIAL

Julldozer of Mojoptix created a 3D printing sundial by combining the ancient technology with algorithm design. The 3D printed sundial enables the users to digitally watch the time.  
In a You Tube video, Julldozer explained how he got the idea and created the sundial. With the help of OpenSCAD, he algorithmically made the sundial. After designing a matrix for every number in the sundial, he integrated these matrices using STL files and OpenSCAD script into an open source 3D printed model. This open source project enables people to download the details from Thingiverse and buy the sundial from his Etsy shop.
A French/English tech podcast, Julldozer explains that this project cannot be created through injection molding or other techniques of mass production. This digital sundial can only be manufactured from 3D printing technology.
