That's interesting, and I've intended to eventually make a dodecahadral sundial. But just for decoration. A dodecahedral's faces are too small (for a given overall dial-size) for it to be a practical choice for a distant-readable sundial.
Of course a cubic dial's faces are as big across as the whole cube is.
