Digital sundial
Now this is magic. If and when we ever get sunny days, we strongly recommend you print Mojoptix’s digital sundial, because it will blow your mind. It displays the time accurately between 10am and 4pm, updating every 20 minutes.
To put the clocks back or forward, simply rotate the gnomon (that’s what the long thing’s called, that the light passes through to make the shadows) – and don’t forget to print the correct gnomon for your hemisphere – time goes backwards Down Under.
Ice lolly box
We’re big fans of sitting huddled by the fire, pretending it’s about to get warm. Ben’s gin making in issue 6 is a great example of this – we’re freezing cold, but we can still dream of sunny days ahead.
On that note, here’s a little bit of 3D-printed summer, brought to you by Thingiverse user faberdasher. It’s not an iced lolly, but a box cunningly fashioned to look like one. It’s made of three parts that friction-fit together, and it promises to keep your keys and loose change in one place while you cool off at the beach.
