We just fixed downloads: every STL now comes straight from fast, reliable storage, saved under its own name, we're making 10,000 STL files and dozens of new tools, so things might break. We'll fix them ASAP.

IGES Sundial Generator StarForge 3D Modeling Software

Latitude Accurate Sundial for Legacy CAD

Legacy CAD and CAM software still expects IGES, the Initial Graphics Exchange Specification, which lets the IGES Sundial Generator feed a dial into an older workflow. The file holds faceted mesh surfaces, never an exact parametric CAD solid. Behind it is real geometry: a town found via OpenStreetMap place search, a gnomon angled to its latitude, and hour lines at tan(angle) = sin(latitude) x tan(15 degrees x hours from noon) with raised numbers on a dial of typed size. StarForge 3D Modeling Software exports a 3D Print STL File for 3D printing too.
