Summary

NORTHERN ONLY

This is a segmented version Digital Sundial Cleansed by Margu, which was a cleaned-up remix of the original Digital Sundial by Mojoptix.

This version is simply a broken-up version of the Cleansed Sundial. It's segmented into four parts which allows for failure of one or more segments without the loss of the entire print. The first and forth segments are the most likely to be successful with the middle two prone to failure due to their many light blocking bridges. I've marked each piece to indicate the piece that it mates to with dimples. Match one dimple to one dimple, two dimples to two dimples, and so-forth. I've also added pegs and holes to assist in aligning the segments when you glue them together.

The first and last segments can be printed with .2 resolution whereas the middle two segments need .1 or .15.

My apologies as I only created the Northern Hemisphere.

Please also see my Sundial test for testing your printer's bridging ability as it pertains to the sundial before committing to a print: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1568322

Please see Sundial Cleansed for a description of why and how Margu made this version of the digital sundial: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1149469

And of course the original digital sundial by Mojoptix for a description of the original project and to get the other sundial parts like the stand/mount for it: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1068443

How I Designed This

I imported Margu's cleansed sundial into MS 3D Builder and sliced it between the various digits and then used object cylinder creation for the pegs and the holes and used emboss for the identification dimples. I then saved each segment to a unique .STL file.

How do you mount it?

Since it's a remix of http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1068443, you simply use the mount provided by the original sundial by Mojopix.

There are also a few other mount remixes for the original sundial that you could search Thingiverse for.

So... how do you mount it?

Part 2 contains errors. The object is not closed. I suggest you use Netfabb before printing.

All objects look fine to me in MS 3D Builder and slice fine in Cura. What software are you using that reports errors?

Autodesk Netfabb Premium and Simplify3D.

i consistently get fails from simplify for the thin walls such as this model has. simplify just sucks at thin walls, unless i am missing something huge. when i slice these models in simplify, the thin walls which are supposed to cast a shadow for the time are simplify-missing. i used slic3r instead.

When I send an object to NetFab (a MS product), it just sends me back a .3mf which can only be opened in MS 3D Builder which I then have to convert to .STL which is where the error most likely happens. When I open the saved .STL in MS 3D Builder it reports no errors so I'm just back where I started; with a part that is reported as "Good" by MS products (e.g. -NetFab).

I could try to get MeshMixer to analyze it though. Will do later today.
