50 mm tall on a 160 mm print
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.
- Two slender towers
Both towers are tall and slender. Print slowly with good cooling for the upper floors, and use 0.12–0.16 mm layers so the vertical edges stay crisp.
- One piece with the ground
Les Mercuriales 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. Les Mercuriales 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 Les Mercuriales
Les Mercuriales are twin office towers in Bagnolet, on the Boulevard Peripherique in Paris, France. Both date from 1975. The eastern tower is called Levant and the western one Ponant. In the EU they are the tallest twin towers, and in Europe they rank second, behind City of Capitals in Moscow. Their design took inspiration from the old World Trade Center towers in New York.
The towers were part of a larger plan for the business district of eastern Paris, meant to rebalance the western district of La Defense. The first oil crisis interrupted the project, and the two towers were left isolated at the A3 motorway interchange. Without their antennas, they rank third in Seine-Saint-Denis, behind Tour Pleyel at 143 m and Tour La Villette at 125 m. Once the antennas are counted, the West Tower tops the department at about 175 m, and the East Tower follows at 141 m.
Each tower has a reinforced concrete central core that carries the passenger and freight elevators, the escalators and the vertical ducts. The core supports the floor slabs, which rest on columns around the edge. The columns are recessed from the slab edge, allowing a continuous exterior curtain wall. The 30th floor is the top office floor; the two floors above hold storage, air conditioning equipment and broadcasting gear. A covered central mall links the two towers and serves their shared facilities.
