I have modified it for better quality. Started with printing ABS last week with quite some satisfying results so far.
Btw the eifeltower is printer in 9 pieces ^^

I like Eiffel Tower very much. Can you please sent me .stl files ,to try it with my printer please??

We all love 3D-printing because we can see ideas come to life. Therefore I made this thread so you can show off the prints you are most proud of and why. Additional info like print-time, issues you had etc.. are always nice.

I'll start off with mine:
This Eiffel-tower from thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:254133

I printed this thing after not having that much experience with my printer. It really was a challenge, took me over 2 weeks to complete and several failed parts. I learned so much about all the different settings in Cura while attempting to get the small detailed parts in a decent quality.

used printer: Velleman K8200 aka 3drag

Issues I had: This print had allot of small separated parts which makes the printer retract ALLOT. This resulted in a completed grinded of piece of filament which resulted in stop of filament flow. Then I had to pull out the filament, cut the bad part away and continue the print. I had to test by trial-and-error what the best retraction setting was without getting very bad quality.

Print-timed: I stopped counting after 30 hours of printed parts.. Took me over 2 weeks to test, print, assemble.

Resolution: 0,20mm

If you want to scale down the model: check the remix section, I made part D2 without the fine railings, so it's easier to print when it's scaled down

That is impressive!! I will made it

Looks great!

Maybe you can tell us what printer you´ve used here.

I suspect it is the K8200 mentioned here: http://3dprintboard.com/showthread.p...ll=1#post16214

You are right, I've added it to the post, it's a velleman :-)

Only need a little modification : Self-alignement hole! :)

And what is that? :-)

I got my favourite print - It's a thing I created; named him CHEG! - Print quality is nothing special (Poor ABS actually) but cool.
The other was a gift I made for my wife... White ABS and texters.
