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.

  1. Tall triangular tower

    A tall tower on a triangular footprint has sharp corners and fine facade lines. A layer height of 0.12–0.16 mm keeps them crisp, and printing slowly with good cooling helps the upper floors.

  2. One piece with the ground

    Robarts Library is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.

  3. 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.

  4. Colors

    Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. Robarts Library takes the building color.

  5. 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 Robarts Library

Robarts Library, formally the John P. Robarts Research Library, is the principal library for the humanities and social sciences at the University of Toronto and also its biggest single library. Nicknamed Fort Book and The Peacock/Turkey, it sits in downtown Toronto, on the university's St. George campus. It opened in 1973 and takes its name from John Robarts, Ontario's 17th Premier.

The building is Brutalist in style. A tall tower stands on a footprint shaped like an equilateral triangle, every side of which is 330 feet (100 m) long, and triangular patterns recur throughout. Mathers & Haldenby Architects headed the design, with consultation from the New York firm Warner, Burns, Toan & Lunde. Construction began in 1968 and was completed in 1973.

The building has fourteen stories plus two underground floors, with a suspended fourth floor and raised podia. Smooth concrete lines the facade horizontally, while rough concrete runs vertically, and steel-framed windows sit in bays that protrude from the facade. Robarts is the main component of a complex of three towers; the others are the Claude T. Bissell Building, home to the Faculty of Information, and the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library.
