(sorry english post) For those of us who aren't as smart as 8th century BCE Babylonians ('merica!) do you have any brief instructions on how to properly assemble and operate this device? My 3d printer has been mostly idle lately and this looks like a fun little project!
Side note: in a previous life I was working on drawing the phase of the moon in a flight simulator (FlightGear.) I discovered that if you put the sun in the correct relative place in the sky, and then put the moon in the correct relative place in the sky (drawn as a textured sphere), and then illuminate the moon from the sun, you automatically get the correct phase and orientation drawn in the simulated sky! That was a pretty cool discovery.
