here is my first model toke me 3 day to set up the printer correctly and figure out everything there was to figure out

obviously at the end i ended up printing the tree as separate object (and sligthly too big because they are actually part of my ooze-retraction test but i decided to recycle them in this model because tehy looked cute)

I am using PLA no sense to use anything else for architecture models really it's natural doesn't smell etcetc lot of pro no real cons

I decided to use 0.15 due to the scale 1-500 but after i finish printing the 11 floors my next model will be a residential house 3 floor and i will definitely go 0.2 for a scale 1:100

I think 0.2 print is best true .15 get more details but the extra details are really worth only on organic form rarely on building the only reason to go .15 or .1 would be the scale

i would suggest a
0.2 for scale 1/100- 1/250
0.15 for scale 1/500
0.1 for scale 1/1000

i will post a picture of the building once is ready each floor take around 6 hour to print and plus i model separately the stairs/elevators and glass facade so it may take me all week to get it done

Very nice!

Wow, nice! Those trees aren't bad either.

and here the final building without glasses yet

final design is 2 pieces the cap (roof) 4.5hours printing the bottom part all together including the plaza 12.5hours

the challenging part was to use the all plate the model is 23x18 and making it print a nice first layer wasn't easy

Turned out fantastic though! (Great design too!)
