Very cool: Sundial reads like a digital clock

Try wrapping your head around this one. An Etsy seller
in France has somehow managed to design a remarkable 3D-printed
sundial that shows the time as digital numbers that actually
change as the day progresses and the sun moves across the sky.
Mojoptix's Digital Sundial does have its limitations, though.
The complex pattern of holes in the wand that create the shadows
needed to display numbers can only show the time from about 10am
in the morning until about 4pm in the afternoon. The digital
numbers also only update in 20-minute increments, but that
doesn't make this creation any less incredible.
