Description

Here are four meshes of eight world-renowned buildings:

Great Pyramid of Giza
481' / 147m (originally)
Original creation
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pyramid_of_Giza

Eiffel Tower
984' / 300m
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:22051
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eiffel_Tower

Empire State Building
1250' / 381m
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3239894
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_State_Building

Willis Tower (Sears Tower until 2009)
1450' / 442m
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:715793
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willis_Tower

1 World Trade Center
1776' / 541m
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3576848 maybe
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_World_Trade_Center

CN Tower
1815' / 553m
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2939682
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CN_Tower

Shanghai Tower
2073' / 632m
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2311499
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_Tower

Burj Khalifa
2717' / 828m
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1156328
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burj_Khalifa

Each is processed to allow 3D printing with no supports, and with all spires thickened to allow correct slicing (when printed in mm). The 1:10000 scale model is designed to match all 8"x8" MiniCity 3D printed cities. The 1:7500 scale version all 12"x12" 3d printed cities, the 1:6250 version all 16"x16", and the 1:5000 scale version all 24"x24" 3D printed cities. See our 3D printed city artworks at https://minicity.art/shop

We recommend printing two of these at a time, so that the very small layers in the top spire of the Burj Khalifa have time to solidify before being printed upon again. And if you're feeling daring, cut the bottom plate off this model before printing, and each building will be independent.

Thank you to all building modellers who came before me! Please follow the links to the original models if you want better-resolution meshes. (We would have done a remix, but we're only allowed to tag one original model!)

Enjoy!
