About the Arc de Triomphe
Napoleon ordered the Arc de Triomphe in 1806 to honour the French army, and it was finished in 1836. It stands at the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle, where twelve avenues meet, with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier beneath its vault.
What the model includes
The great central arch, the smaller arches that run through the piers from side to side, the cornice ledges and the attic storey.
It is built from simple closed solids, so it slices cleanly and stands flat. In the download window you can set the height from 30 to 250 mm and add a base plate with the name in raised letters. The mesh has about 548 triangles, small enough to open in any slicer.
Print the Arc de Triomphe on its real terrain
Map data stores most buildings as a flat outline with a height, so the Arc de Triomphe would normally print as a plain block. In TerraPrinter, this model takes its place automatically. It is turned to match the outline in the map data and stands on the real elevation, with the streets, water and buildings around it.

Questions
Is the Arc de Triomphe 3D model free?
Yes. You can download the Arc de Triomphe as an STL or 3MF for free, without an account, and print it as many times as you like.
What size should I print the Arc de Triomphe?
At the default height of 120 mm it measures 110 × 56 × 120 mm. Pick any height from 30 to 250 mm before downloading. Thin parts like spires and antennas print better at 100 mm and up on a 0.4 mm nozzle.
Do I need supports?
No. The model stands flat on its base and prints upright without supports.
Can I print the Arc de Triomphe with the city around it?
Yes. "Print on its terrain" opens TerraPrinter with the area around the Arc de Triomphe selected. When you generate the model, this landmark replaces the plain block from the map data and stands on the real terrain with the surrounding streets and buildings.
