Modern City Skyscraper [Generator]

Build a glowing city! This fully parametric skyscraper generator is designed with an open bottom, allowing you to place the building directly over an LED tea light or string lights for a beautiful illuminated effect.

🧠 Behind the Design (For Makers & Moderators)

This is a structurally optimized, fully parametric OpenSCAD architectural generator. The algorithm bypasses resource-heavy 3D operations by utilizing procedural 2D-to-3D transformations (offset(), linear_extrude()) to efficiently calculate complex corner geometries (chamfered/rounded). It features a mathematically calculated facade grid that dynamically scales window and pillar dimensions (eff_pillar) based on user inputs. Crucially for FDM manufacturing, the boolean window intersections (window_cutter) are programmed with a precise -0.2mm depth offset to procedurally generate a perfect single-layer light diffuser for LED integration. Furthermore, the base incorporates a hard-coded 1.5mm solid rim (base_rim) to guarantee first-layer bed adhesion without requiring slicer-generated brims. The roof parapets and technical geometry are generated via precise boolean differences and Z-translations.

🛠️ Features

• Open Bottom: No floor, designed to fit over lights.
• Solid Roof: The top is closed to capture the light inside.
• Adhesion Rim: The bottom 1.5mm is always solid wall to ensure it sticks to your print bed.
• You can customize everything in the OpenSCAD code!

🖨️ Print Settings

• Infill: 0% (Walls are solid).
• Material: White PLA or Transparent PETG works best for lighting.
• Supports: None.
