Description
This is a reproduction of a portable sundial found in Philippi dated around 250-350 CE
The design is based on images and descriptions found here https://erachair-dch.eu/portfolio/the-horologion-of-philippi-a-portable-sundial-250-350-c-e/
The time keeping is very likely to be inaccurate because I could not find definite positions for each tick mark on the face, and the locations it is originally designed for are not local to me, so I can't test it.
2 of each pivot pin and retaining pin must be printed
2 of each eyelet and hanger will need to be printed.
recommend resin printing due to the markings and tolerance.
This is a work in progress. I have one test print so far and the tolerances are pretty tight. The text is too small and will need to be enlarged if any painting or coatings are applied.
Updated with larger bolded font for visibility. Increased offsets for better clearance.
