Description
Major update Feb 2024.
eliminated artifcats created by SketchUp software.
now there should be no multiple lines occupying same space.
which may not mean much to most people, but yet there it is.
Eiffel Tower 1/400th Scale
Update July 2023
Sketch Up is no longer free, and way too expensive.
so I have no choice but to move things to Blender.
I'm making this, because all freely available Eiffel Tower laser cut or 3d print models out there are not accurate to the real thing.
They may kinda look like Eiffel Tower to casual observers, but they are all grossly inaccurate in proportions.
based mostly on "zdujmo"'s Eiffel Tower model available at SketchUp 3D Warehouse for Free. Probably the best Free 3D Model of Eiffel Tower out there, but it is incomplete.
I have successfully printed this model with no additional support other than one provide with the model, in vertical orientation.
I do not believe this model can be printed with FDM type printers.
1/400th scale
Eiffel Tower is 300m tall, so 1/400 scale would be about 75cm tall or 2.5 feet
the photo with Coke can is the largest I can print with my resin printer.
which would be 1/1212 or 0.0825% scale.
printed with support for the 4 corner bases only.
