About the Taipei 101
Taipei 101 was the tallest building in the world from 2004 until 2010. Its eight flared sections of eight floors each echo a pagoda or a stalk of bamboo, and a giant tuned mass damper near the top steadies it in typhoons.
What the model includes
The tapering base, the eight flared eight-floor sections, the top tiers and the spire.
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 344 triangles, small enough to open in any slicer.
Print the Taipei 101 on its real terrain
Map data stores most buildings as a flat outline with a height, so the Taipei 101 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 Taipei 101 3D model free?
Yes. You can download the Taipei 101 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 Taipei 101?
At the default height of 120 mm it measures 15 × 15 × 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 Taipei 101 with the city around it?
Yes. "Print on its terrain" opens TerraPrinter with the area around the Taipei 101 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.
