Parametric Design With Tinkercad 29 Comments Thanks to for the tip! Posted in Solar Hacks Tagged 3d printer, autodesk, autodesk inventor, clock, solar, sundial, time What does that mean? Check out this non-pv, sun-powered clock that isn’t a sundial. This may also be the first actual sundial build we’ve featured. wanted a way to appreciate the beauty of time, and he’s certainly accomplished that with this new take on the sundial! He also wonders what it would be like if there was a giant one in a park. This would be pretty difficult to do with any machine tools but is easily accomplished via 3D printing. The numbers are arranged at such angles inside the sundial so that when it’s a particular hour, the number of the hour shines through the shadow of the sundial which creates a very unique effect. From there it was 3D printed, but the interesting part here is that the 3D printer allowed for him to leave recesses for numbers in the sundial. Once done with all of the math for the sundial to compute its angles and true north based on his latitude and longitude, used Autodesk Inventor to create a model. For something that’s been around for around 5500 years it must be especially rare to teach an old dog new tricks, but has built a sundial that’s different from any we’ve ever seen. It seems that the longer a technology has been around, the more likely it is that all of the ideas and uses for that technology will be fleshed out.
