OverviewA meticulously engineered, fully functional sundial that blends ancient timekeeping with sleek, modern industrial design. Measuring a substantial 200mm in diameter, this model features a clean, uncluttered dial, elegant Roman numerals, and a precise compass rose. Whether you print it in classic bronze or go for a high-contrast Cyberpunk/Neon aesthetic with a color swap, it makes a stunning desktop piece or garden functional decor.
Precise Latitude-Specific Engineering
This isn't a one-size-fits-all model. Every sundial in this bundle is mathematically calculated and individually designed for specific latitudes. The hour markers and Roman numerals are precisely positioned to ensure accurate timekeeping based on the sun's path at your exact location.
Optimized Geometry: Each version is individually adjusted. For lower latitudes (e.g., 30°), the design is specially modified to prevent numerals from overlapping, ensuring both accuracy and a clean, premium aesthetic.

Key Features:
Optimal Size: 200mm diameter for high visibility and accuracy, designed to fit standard 220x220mm print beds.
Zero Supports Needed: Designed for 100% FDM success. Both the base and the gnomon print flat on the build plate.
Modular Slip-Joint Assembly: The gnomon features a full-length pin with a lead-in chamfer. It slides perfectly into the base slot for a tight, wobble-free fit.
Color-Swap (RGB) Ready: Numerals and compass elements are raised, allowing for easy pause at height (M600) filament changes to achieve a striking neon or multi-color look.
Recommended Print Settings:
Layer Height: 0.16mm - 0.20mm (for crisp Roman numerals).
Wall Lines: 3-4 (for mechanical strength at the joint).
Infill: 15-20% Gyroid.
Material: PLA for indoor/desktop use. PETG or ASA is highly recommended if placing outdoors in direct sunlight.
Color Swap: Pause at the exact layer where the numerals start to create a high-contrast UI (e.g., Matte Black base with Neon Cyan/Pink details).
