11 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.
- Print the tower tall
Tall, slender towers are easiest to keep crisp at a larger print size. A 0.12–0.16 mm layer height helps the vertical detail, and printing slowly helps the narrow upper sections.
- One piece with the ground
The Munttoren 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 Munttoren 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 Munttoren
The Munttoren, or Mint Tower, stands on the Muntplein in Amsterdam, at the point where the Amstel and the Singel meet. It started life as part of the Regulierspoort, a main gate in the medieval city wall. That gate, put up in 1480, had two towers and a guard house. Fire destroyed most of it in 1618. The guard house survived, along with part of the west tower. The tower was rebuilt two years later in Amsterdam Renaissance style, with an eight-sided upper section, a clockwork carrying four clockfaces, a carillon, and an open spire by Hendrick de Keyser.
Its name recalls the guard house next door, where coins were minted in the 17th century. In 1672 England and France went to war with the Dutch Republic, French troops occupied large parts of the country, and silver and gold could not be shipped safely to Dordrecht or Enkhuizen, so coins were struck in the guard house for a time. The building beside the tower is not medieval, however: it dates from 1885–1887 and was designed in Neo-Renaissance style by Willem Springer.
Pieter Hemony made the carillon in 1668. He added bells to a set that Hemony and his brother François had built for the Amsterdam stock exchange tower in 1651. The carillon carries 38 bells, two more than the original, and just 13 of the original Hemony bells survive. The mechanism sounds a quarter-hour chime.
