Build your own replica of the famous Taipei 101. Once Taipei 101 was the worlds tallest building and the design is fantastic. Model Volume: 384.87cm3 Model Height (built): 60.53cm (approx) How much material will it use? 230g (This is a rough calculation based on weight per cm3) If the item was completly solid it would take around 2.5 kg so I hollowed out the item to reduce the amount of plastic. I would love some feedback on my model and some possible improvements. Thanks. Ryan Instructions [Update :: 29th April 2012]I have uploaded a file requested by MakerCubed, which is solid and has no errors and should print nicely. I have also scaled it by 0.50 so now it is approx 30cm tall you can still reduce the size of the model to fit your printer. The file is called "full solid (repaired.stl)" If you have any feedback or comments please leave them below. [Note] Please do not print the Taipei Full.stl file as this file has some flaws and is too big to print. Please print the following parts and assemble. You need to print the following to create your Taipei 101 Tower. 1x 1 (repaired).stl 6x 2 (repaired).stl 1x 3 (repaired).stl 1x 4 (repaired).stl 1x 5 (repaired).stl 1x 6 (repaired).stl 32x 7 (repaired).stl 4x 8 (repaired).stl 32x 9 (repaired).stl 1x base (repaired).stl To build Taipei 101 please follow the instructions below after printing all of the above required parts.

(the bottom of all the parts is hollow) Place the base on a secure table Get 1 (repaired).stl and place a small amount of glue in the slots on the base and place part 1 in the slots and apply a small amount of pressure. Get part 2(repaired).stl and apply a small amount of glue around the bottom edge and line up the single pin with one of the holes and stick down. Apply some pressure and make sure it has stuck. repeat above step with 5 other 2 (repaired).stl parts. Your model should now have 8 parts glued together.
