Pillars of Creation Model for 3D Printing

The Pillars of Creation are a formation of long thin dust clouds in the Eagle Nebula. They have been showcased in exquisite images from both the Hubble and Webb space telescopes. Their nickname derives from the fact that stars are forming within the pillars.

3D Printable Models

In 2D images, only 3 pillars (left, center and right) are apparent. However, in 3D, there are four separate clouds within the pillars:

• Pillar 1A is the top part of the left pillar
• Pillar 1B is the bottom part of the left pillar
• Pillar 2 is the central pillar
• Pillar 3 is the right pillar

Use the downloadable STL files to print the Pillars of Creation as a set or individually:

• Full Model - All four pillars with a round base
• Pillar 1A only
• Pillar 1B only
• Pillar 2 only
• Pillar 3 only

The last STL file is a positioning reference file for the four pillars without the base.
