I've always loved Toronto's tallest free standing structure and was looking for something to practice my Fusion 360 skills with so I designed this to-scale architectural model of the CN Tower. The entire model was designed and split with Fusion 360.
It's split up in such a way that it doesn't need support for any pieces and will fit together even without glue (hopefully).
It IS scaled down to be completely printable on a small Ultimaker 2 Go but you can definitely scale it up if you wish, I designed it at almost 5 times the scale it's at now. If you're interested in scaling it up just take the 'CN_Tower_Base_1' file and see how big you can make it, it's the biggest piece of the set.
I really love how this turned out, hope you do too!! Post any questions you have in the comments :)
This print does not need support for any of it's parts. Even rafts are optional, I only used them because my 3D printer does not have a heated print bed.
I printed this at 0.15mm but any layer height should work and infill is completely up to you. I used 20% but I feel like 10% or above will work just fine.
Assembly
To assemble the whole model you simply have to print one of each piece and stack them on top of each other. They should fit nicely without it but I would use glue if you're not going to be moving this model around. I only designed it to fit together because I move it around all the time and needed to be able to take it apart.
Here is the order from bottom to top:

Love this model. It goes nicely with my Seattle Space Needle and Big Ben models. Print on Ender 3 at 50% due to lack of filament. 0.2 layer height.
