106 m of the Nabemba Tower, 33 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.
- Narrow waist and thin mast
The round shaft narrows toward the middle and carries a slim mast on top. Print friendly adapts the thin mast to your print scale; print slowly so the tall shaft stays steady.
- Closely spaced vertical fins
Many thin vertical ribs run up the whole shaft. A layer height of 0.12–0.16 mm keeps them crisp, and a bigger print keeps more of them.
- One piece with the ground
The Nabemba Tower 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 Nabemba Tower 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 Nabemba Tower
In Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo, the Nabemba Tower (also called the Elf Tower) rises as a skyscraper. In the city's south, it sits right beside the Congo River. With 30 floors and a height of 106 meters, no building in the country is taller. Its name comes from Mont Nabemba, the country's highest mountain.
Jean Marie Legrand designed the tower while the government's five-year plan was running, and it was built between 1983 and 1986. The French oil company Elf Aquitaine supplied the borrowed funds that paid for it. President Denis Sassou Nguesso inaugurated the tower on February 3, 1990.
The tower houses offices of several ministries and charities, among them UNESCO, the African Self-help Development Initiative and the New Partnership for African Development. It suffered severe damage during the civil war of 1997, and it was rebuilt at a cost of £6,000,000 after President Sassou Nguesso returned to power.
