About Salesforce Tower

Salesforce Tower, formerly called Transbay Tower, is a supertall skyscraper with 61 stories, found at 415 Mission Street in downtown San Francisco's South of Market district, near First and Fremont Streets. Salesforce, a cloud-based software company, is its main tenant. The tower rises 1,070 feet (326 m), with its roof at 970 feet (296 m). César Pelli designed it, and it was the last building of his to be completed in his lifetime.

Its form is an obelisk, and a grid of metal fins climbs from the base all the way to the roof. A concrete core and a steel frame lie behind a glass and steel curtain wall, and each floor uses brises soleil to deflect sunlight. The footprint rests on landfill near the city's original waterfront. The foundation reaches bedrock through 42 piles, each driven nearly 300 feet (91 m) down, and it includes a mat 14 feet (4.3 m) thick.

The crown carries a light sculpture nine stories high, titled "Day for Night", by the artist Jim Campbell. Its 11,000 LED lights face inward on the top six floors, and the animations are visible as far as 30 miles (50 kilometers) off. The tower stands in an area that once served as a ground-level entrance to San Francisco's Transbay Terminal, which was torn down in 2011. Construction began in 2013, and the 2018 completion came at a cost above $1.1 billion.

How it prints

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.

Landmark height and scale at three print sizes
Print size Landmark height Scale
160 mm default 87 mm 1:3,750
200 mm 109 mm 1:3,000
256 mm 140 mm 1:2,344

Open lattice crown
The crown is an open grid of thin members. Print friendly adapts thin parts like these to your print scale; Full detail keeps them, best on a larger print with 0.12 to 0.16 mm layers.
Tall, tapering shaft
The tower is much taller than the buildings around it and narrows toward the top. Print slowly with good cooling so the slender upper section stays clean.
One piece with the ground
Salesforce 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. Salesforce 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 this model

Salesforce Tower is one of more than 2,300 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.

Common questions

Is there a Salesforce Tower STL I can download?

Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.

How big can I print it?

Any print size from 40 mm across. Salesforce Tower grows with the print: about 87 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.

Is it free?

Yes. Generation runs in your browser, with no account and nothing behind a paywall.
