    Actually printed one on a Zortrax printer a few years back - not perfect, but came out pretty good.

    There are two different versions depending if you’re in the northern or southern hemisphere. It’s fun to show it to people and show how it changes if you rotate or adjust the pitch/angle of the sunddial.

      Is this available on thingiverse or something? I’d very much like to try my hand at printing it on some Prusa’s I have access to. But don’t think I’m up for that big of a parametric modelling challenge.

          Awesome! I’m definitely giving this a try next weekend. Hopefully the petg I have holds up, I don’t have an enclosure for ABS prints to come out right

            I have PETG bog planters sitting out in the sun doing just fine. I print PETG all the time on my prusa printers. Just be sure to dry the filament extensively for best results, especially on something like this where you don’t want a lot of stringing lol

              I printed mine out of PLA and it’s been fine. PETG would definitely be better though.
