About this model
A square Gothic tower with tracery walls, four translucent dials with Roman numerals, a louvred belfry and a lantern on the spire. Two blades stand back to back in the shaft, the desktop drawer sits in the base. Much of it reuses parts already checked on Pisa and the Eiffel.
Worth knowing
The spire still looks a little like Eiffel lattice, and from the front you see a board, not Gothic walls.

Budget black PETG.
Drives: every board keeps the drive its laptop came with (system only), so there is nothing to buy. A board bought without one needs a 256 GB M.2 2280 drive (approx. €56). Optional, not in the total: one shared disk of 1 TB or more for the render manager's shared folder, on the desktop board in the drawer, in its M.2 slot. Reuse an old one, or buy a 1 TB M.2 2280 drive for approx. €136–146. Drive prices are approximate (October 2026): check before buying.

To print it at this size: 7.7 kg of PETG. Add 10% for waste and test pieces and that is 9 spools of 1 kg, approx. €126–171 with the PETG below (the shopping list above already includes filament). Print time, estimated: about 395 h with the standard 0.4 mm nozzle (Ender-3 V3 SE class), 248 h with a 0.6 mm nozzle.
Print times are slicer estimates (OrcaSlicer) and may vary by ±15 %.
