About First Canadian Place
First Canadian Place, a commercial skyscraper, rises on the northwest corner where King Street meets Bay Street, in Toronto's Financial District. It is 298 m (978 ft) high and houses the Bank of Montreal's global operational executive office. Its name refers to the Bank of Montreal, which was Canada's first bank.
B+H Architects designed it, with Edward Durell Stone as design consultant, and it was finished in 1975. The tower and its neighbors fill a city block that once held the Toronto Star Building and the William H. Wright Building of The Globe and Mail. On completion it looked almost the same as Stone's earlier Standard Oil Building in Chicago, which opened two years earlier with the same floor plan and the same marble; the visible difference is the windows, vertical there and horizontal here. In 1975 it ranked sixth worldwide among buildings measured to structural top, and it was the tallest outside Chicago and New York.
The tower was clad in white Carrara marble, roughly 45,000 panels. In 2007 a marble panel fell from the 60th story during a storm. In late 2009 the owner announced a three-year replacement of the panels with glass, using a white ceramic frit on the main expanses and a bronze tint at the corners; the project, completed in 2012, cost more than CA$100 million. Its 29 elevators include double-deck cars, a type few buildings anywhere use, and the tower connects to the underground PATH system.
How it prints
Make this print opens the generator on a 600 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.
| Print size | Landmark height | Scale |
|---|---|---|
| 160 mm default | 95 mm | 1:3,750 |
| 200 mm | 119 mm | 1:3,000 |
| 256 mm | 152 mm | 1:2,344 |

- Rooftop antenna mast
- A thin lattice mast and small antennas rise from the roof. Print friendly adapts these thin parts to the print scale; Full detail keeps them, which suits a larger print. Print slowly with good cooling so the mast forms cleanly.
- Fine horizontal window bands
- Fine horizontal bands run up all four faces. A bigger print size keeps them distinct, and layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep the lines crisp.
- One piece with the ground
- First Canadian Place is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. First Canadian Place takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
About this model
First Canadian Place is one of more than 2,300 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
Common questions
Is there a First Canadian Place STL I can download?
Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.
How big can I print it?
Any print size from 40 mm across. First Canadian Place grows with the print: about 95 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
Is it free?
Yes. Generation runs in your browser, with no account and nothing behind a paywall.
