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

A penholder and desk ornament constructed from the digits of the mathematical constant Pi, arranged into a vertical tower form. The piece belongs to a series of similar digit-based towers and is a popular choice as a gift for teachers or mathematics enthusiasts. PLA prints this model cleanly and is available in a wide range of colours, making it straightforward to match a particular theme or preference.

Tower of Pi
Hard to print? Probably... But definitely worth every digit!
If you have a FDM printer, try the one with the solid walls first.

My third contribution to pi day March 14 (03.14).

This is a part of a series of towers/penholders made out of digits.

Printing Tower of Pi

For Tower of Pi we would normally reach for PETG — it is tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA, ideal for parts that take load or live somewhere warm. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
