Description
🇬🇧 Welcome to London!
👑🟣 On the Occasion of HM Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee, we remixed our own Big Ben model to be printable at larger scales, in full color even without MMU, and with the possibility to add lights or a real clock! 💡 🕑
The most famous landmark of London and the United Kingdom: the Big Ben, officially known as Elizabeth Tower, although the nickname Big Ben, which is the main bell, has stuck . The tower holds the second largest four-faced chiming clock in the world. It was completed in 1858 in gothic revival style. It stands by the river Thames, in a corner of the Houses of Parliament, in Westminster (from Wikipedia).
MiniWorld3D is happy to bring this historical model to life and celebrate this milestone with all Britons. MiniWorld3D is the collection of 3D printable landmarks and models of the world.

PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS
• All parts are completely support-free*.
• Two versions of the tower are provided
- Beige parts combined into a single piece, with no openings for light or machinery, suited for small scales.
- Beige parts split, with openings for the clock faces, allowing for a lamp or real clock machinery to be kept inside. For real clocks, omit the clock face parts and use your own.
You can print each part separately with distinct colors and assemble after. Glue is necessary for a permanent assembly.
Most parts are printed upright, with the underside on the print bed. The gold and white clock faces are printed with their flat backside on the print bed. Only the gold clock face parts need supports.
Infill is to the user's discretion, we use 12%, with gradual steps.
No brims were necessary.
Print slow for better definition of details and thin features, 20mm/s for outer perimeters.
For the clock face, we paused and changed filament from white to black to have color on the hands and hours.
