About the Petronas Towers
Completed in 1998, the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur were the tallest buildings in the world until 2004. Their floor plans are based on an eight-pointed star, and a two-storey skybridge joins the towers at the 41st and 42nd floors.
What the model includes
Both star-plan towers with their setbacks, the pinnacles and the skybridge.
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 1,604 triangles, small enough to open in any slicer.
Print the Petronas Towers on its real terrain
Map data stores most buildings as a flat outline with a height, so the Petronas Towers 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 Petronas Towers 3D model free?
Yes. You can download the Petronas Towers 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 Petronas Towers?
At the default height of 120 mm it measures 40 × 12 × 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?
Yes, use tree supports: parts of the Petronas Towers overhang with nothing underneath.
Can I print the Petronas Towers with the city around it?
Yes. "Print on its terrain" opens TerraPrinter with the area around the Petronas Towers 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.
