Miraculous technology! But as always man remains responsible for the result. So even for the mistake in this 3D printer printed sundial. The 3D printer can apparently not build a thin style, hence the respectable thickness of the style. This requires a split - which is not made here - of the hour lines in an eastern and western half, separated by a space as wide as the thickness of the style.
