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.

- Saucer rim and portholes
The shallow saucer has a thin rim, and the shaft has small recessed portholes. Layer heights of 0.12–0.16 mm help the rim and porthole edges stay crisp.
- One piece with the ground
The Vilnius TV 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.

About the Vilnius TV Tower
The city of Vilnius, Lithuania, is home to the Vilnius TV Tower, which reaches 326.5 m (1,071 ft) in the Karoliniškės residential district. It is Lithuania's tallest structure, and SC Lithuanian Radio and Television Centre owns it. Its radio transmitters occupy the base section of the concrete structure, and the antennas are mounted on the steel spike.
V. Obydov was the designer, with K. Balėnas handling the engineering. Construction ran from May 31, 1974, to December 30, 1980, using funds from the Soviet Union's 11th Five Year Plan. Its parts are a concrete base, a hollow reinforced concrete pipe of 190 m (623 ft), a concrete saucer and a steel spike of 136 m (446 ft).
At 165 m (541 ft) above ground, the observation deck contains the café Paukščių takas, known in English as Milky Way. High-speed elevators make the climb in 40 seconds, and its platform rotates once every 45 minutes. On January 13, 1991, 14 unarmed civilians were killed and 700 injured while opposing the Soviet military's seizure of the tower; a museum on the ground floor is devoted to that battle.
