Taipei 101

thingiverse

This is a model of the Taipei 101 building in about 1:3750 scale. Although it's not the highest building of the world (since the Burdsch Chalifa building was finished), in my opinion the Taipei 101 is still the most beautyful skyscraper on the planet. The real thing has a height of 509.2m (1,671ft). The model is printed with the awesome height of 135mm, which makes it currently the tallest build for the MakerBot (http://wiki.makerbot.com/hall-of-fame-tallest-print )! Be sure to check the possible build height of your MakerBot before starting this print... Instructions The STL file contains a "blind support wall". This wall's only purpose is to be there when it comes to printing the 1mm antenna (the best way to print such a small part is to print something "next to it"). Since I printed the building on a heated build platform, the attached Gcode file doesn't contain a raft! However, it should be still printable on a MakerBot without heated platform, since the object's footprint is quite small. If in doubt, generate your own Gcode with your tested Skeinforge settings.
