88 m of the Lloyd's building, 26 mm on your shelf
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.
- A taller print helps
The building is tall and narrow, so its exterior detail shrinks at the default print size. Printing larger keeps that detail legible, and 0.12 mm layers keep the vertical edges crisp.
- Detail setting for the outside
Much of what makes the building distinctive sits on the walls rather than inside them. Full detail keeps all of it for a large print or a fine nozzle; Print friendly adapts it at small sizes.
- One piece with the ground
The Lloyd's building 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. The Lloyd's building 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 the Lloyd's building
The Lloyd's building houses Lloyd's of London, the insurance institution that gives the tower its name. It occupies a corner where Leadenhall Street meets Lime Street, in the City of London, London's main financial district, and it stands on ground once occupied by East India House. People sometimes call it the Inside-Out Building; the structure is a leading example of Bowellism, in which services such as ducts and lifts sit on the outside, leaving the interior free.
Richard Rogers & Partners designed it, and Bovis managed the construction, which ran from 1978 to 1986. Queen Elizabeth II officially opened the building on November 18, 1986. Six towers — three main ones and three service towers — stand around a central rectangular space. On the ground floor, at the core of the building, is the Underwriting Room, watched over by galleries that rise through an atrium 60 meters (197 ft) high, beneath a glass roof in the shape of a barrel vault. The 12 glass lifts were a first in the United Kingdom.
The roof sits at 88 meters (289 ft), and the building has 14 floors; the cleaning cranes on top of each service core raise the total to 95.10 meters (312 ft). It received Grade I listing in 2011, twenty-five years after it was finished, and was then the youngest structure ever to be given that status. Historic England counts it among the key buildings of the modern age. Keeping the services outdoors has also meant very costly maintenance.
About this model
The Lloyd's building is one of more than 4,400 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.
