🇦🇪 مرحبا بكم في دبي

Welcome to Dubai!
 

The Burj Khalifa (برج خليفة, Arabic for "Khalifa Tower") is a skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). With a total height of 829.8 m (2,722 ft) and a roof height (excluding antenna, but including a 244 m spire) of 828 m (2,717 ft), the Burj Khalifa has been the tallest structure and building in the world since its topping out in 2009.
 

Burj Khalifa was designed by Adrian Smith, of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, whose firm designed the Willis Tower and One World Trade Center. The design is derived from the Islamic architecture of the region, such as in the Great Mosque of Samarra (from Wikipedia).

Printing Tips

Suggested parameters:

For better details, print slow, such as 20mm/s for outer perimeters, you can slow down even more for the spire to print correctly, or print two at the same time to give it time to cool.
Fine-tune retraction to avoid stringing.
Perimeters: 2
Top layers: 3
Infill: as low as 12%

No supports needed, this has been optimized to eliminate all overhangs.
 

This model is available split in two parts, in case you want to print it large so it fits on your printer. Assemble later and glue for a permanent joint, there is tolerance to allow an easy fit.
