Eiffel Tower Antenna Remix

thingiverse

This is a remixed antenna section from Eiffel Tower - Segmented by gwhancock, scaled up to 4000 when loaded in millimeter scale. Real world scale is approximately 1:703. I scaled up gwhancock's segmented Tour Eiffel model to 4000 and had a blast testing larger builds on my Prusa i3 mk3. The antenna segment just wouldn't print successfully at first. It seemed the legs were too thin, causing instability - maybe it would have worked if I lowered the bed and extruder temperatures, which I ended up doing after remixing. So I loaded it into TinkerCad and added enlarged footings to the base, as well as more structure on each leg. That was enough to make it work. The gwhancock print was a challenging yet rewarding project, and looks fantastic in grey PLA!
