We didn’t design this model. It’s a community file from its original creator, and now and then a file has a fault that only shows up when we print it, such as walls that are too thin or parts that don’t join properly. If that happens we’ll let you know and try to fix the file, which can add a day or two. If we can’t get a good print from it, we’ll refund you in full.

Good to know before you order

TPU has a £11.50 print-order minimum. ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon and PETG-CF have a £46 minimum; PA-CF has a £69 minimum. Delivery is shown separately in your cart.

Need a few parts? Add them to one cart. One order minimum and one postage charge cover the cart: £6.90 for standard materials, £11.50 with TPU, £46 with ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon or PETG-CF, or £69 with PA-CF.

Please check the model files include everything you need before ordering. We print the files as published by the creator, so you receive the parts in the model, not necessarily a finished assembly shown in any photos. These are community designs by their original creators; we manufacture and post them but cannot guarantee fitment for your specific appliance or use case - check the original design page for compatibility.

About this print

The PolyPearl Tower is a calibration and benchmarking model designed to test 3D printer and filament performance. It is used by enthusiasts and technicians to push printers beyond the basic checks that simpler test models provide, revealing issues with bridging, overhangs, and surface quality. PLA is the standard choice for calibration prints, as its predictable behaviour makes it straightforward to compare results across different settings.

Original maker's notes

By Polymaker_3D on Thingiverse · CC-BY

The PolyPearl Tower is Polymaker's new model designed to test your 3D printer and filament to their limits! The popular 3D Benchy model has become the go to print for users looking to optimize their printers and software settings. However, with the development in filaments and printers over the last couple years, the Benchy model only serves as an entry level when pushing your printer to the limits. Most printers PLA settings will produce a solid Benchy, which is why we have created the much more challenging PolyPearl Tower. With inspiration drawn from the famous Oriental Pearl Tower located down the road from Polymaker's Headquarters in Shanghai, this is an architectural model.... with a twist.

For PolyPearl Tower Torture Test we would normally reach for PLA — it is the easy, economical default and suits the majority of models.
