🇨🇳 欢迎来到中国上海！
Welcome to Shanghai, China!
This entry includes 4 models:
- Oriental Pearl Tower
- Shanghai Tower
- Shanghai World Financial Center
- Jin Mao Tower
These are some of the most iconic buildings in Shanghai and all of China.
The Oriental Pearl Radio & Television Tower is a world-renowned landmark of China since 1994, when it was finished, and remained China's tallest building until 2007, at 468 m (1,536 ft) (from Wikipedia).
The Shanghai Tower is a 632-meter-tall (2,073 ft) megatall skyscraper and the second-tallest building in the world (as of 2022). Construction began on 2008 but it didn't fully open to the public until 2018, it has had significant maintenance issues and remains largely unoccupied (from Wikipedia).
The Shanghai World Financial Center is a supertall building, that along with the Shanghai Tower and Jin Mao Tower form the world's first adjacent group of supertall skyscrapers. At 492 meters (1,614.2 ft), it was the world tallest building in the world in 2007, when it was finished. Several other skyscrapers have surpassed it since (from Wikipedia).
Lastly, the Jin Mao Tower (meaning Golden Prosperity tower) is 420.5 meters tall (1,380 ft). It contains a shopping mall, offices and the Grand Hyatt Shanghai hotel, which at the time of completion was the highest hotel in the world. It was the tallest building in China from its completion in 1999 until 2007, when it was surpassed by the Shanghai World Financial Center which is located close by (from Wikipedia).

Printing Tips
Easy prints, no supports required.
Minimal or no infill is possible, lightning pattern recommended. I used 0 infill and 1 perimeter for the red models in the photos.
Use brims or rafts to reduce leverage when printing the tallest parts. When the printer is working on the tallest parts, there may be some wobble, which may cause the building to come off the print bed.
Scaling to maintain the proportions:
- Oriental Pearl Tower - 96%
- Shanghai Tower - 150%
- Shanghai World Financial Center - 133%
- Jin Mao Tower - 133%
Note: Jin Mao tower may display with errors and a hollow base, however, it still slices and prints fine. This is due to the source of the model being originally not explicitly for 3D printing and the subsequent conversion.
