About UOB Plaza One
UOB Plaza One is a tower of 66 stories above ground, rising 280 m (920 ft) at Raffles Place, in Singapore's Central Business District along the Singapore River. It was built as the head office of United Overseas Bank. Kenzo Tange designed it, and Nishimatsu Construction and Lum Chang JV constructed it. Work began in July 1988, and the building was finished in November 1992. At completion, it was one of the three tallest buildings in Singapore, a title it shared with OUB Centre and Republic Plaza.
UOB Plaza Two is the shorter and older tower of the complex. It was completed in 1973 and renovated in 1995 with a facade similar to Plaza One's. A 45 m (148 ft) podium on four columns links the two buildings and holds the banking hall of the bank's main branch. In the 1980s Tange took on a number of big projects in Singapore, the neighboring OUB Centre among them.
The bank's chairman disclosed plans for a new headquarters in 1981, but the bank halted the project in September 1983 and restarted it in 1988. Lee Kuan Yew, then Senior Minister, officially opened the building on August 6, 1995, 60 years after the founding of the bank. Tange also designed the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, completed two years earlier, in 1990, and the tower looks somewhat like it in materials, colors, shapes and overall look.

- Small arch at the crown
- A slim arched frame sits at the very top of the tower. Print friendly adapts it to the print scale, while Full detail keeps it on a larger print.
- Stepped sides, tall and narrow
- The sides step in as the tower rises, and the facade is covered in a fine window grid. Print slowly with good cooling, and use layers of 0.12–0.16 mm to keep the steps crisp.
- One piece with the ground
- UOB Plaza One 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. UOB Plaza One 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.
