###Update
I've added a second file that includes a loop to hang the Pi Divider on a hook for storage. You'll probably only want one loop, so print one of each.
Note that the original update placed the loop on the inside of the tool. This is still usable but is not ideal. The files have now been updated so that when the tool is in the open position, the loop is on the outside.
###Original Summary
**What Is It?**
This is a tool for correctly sizing a glass collar to roll up a cane mat in glassblowing. It opens and closes like scissors, and the lengths are sized so that the larger opening is always *pi* times larger than the smaller opening. This means that when you lay out your cane and open the long, straight side to the width of the cane, the smaller curved ends are the perfect collar diameter. The plastic will melt if it comes near the hot glass of course, so use this tool to set the right width on your metal calipers once you've laid out your cane.
