A parametric Eiffel-style lattice tower for the desk or the shelf, built entirely from native TrueGeometry Playground box, rotate and move commands. No sweeps, no lofts, no Boolean operations, no text. Four flared legs, open lower portals, cross bracing on all four faces, two observation decks and a square spire give the famous silhouette, simplified and stylized. This is an Eiffel-style souvenir, not a dimensionally faithful replica of the monument.
Two live-tested presets are included:
tower_mini (desk): nominal 80 mm tall (actual 80.34 mm), 36 mm foot spacing, 40 x 40 x 2 mm base plate, 9 lattice bands, 1.35 mm main members. 133 shells, 1,596 triangles.
tower_display: nominal 140 mm tall (actual 140.49 mm), 60 mm foot spacing, 64 x 64 x 3 mm base plate, 10 lattice bands, 2 mm main members. 149 shells, 1,788 triangles.
Customizable parameters: overall height, foot spacing / base width, lattice band (tier) count, taper curve, lattice density, base plate thickness and main member thickness. The included Python expander (tower_recipe.py) turns those parameters into a literal native Playground command recipe. Only the two supplied presets were built and mesh-checked live; other combinations are unverified prototypes.
Mesh quality: every shell in both presets is watertight with consistent winding and zero degenerate triangles. The members are closed shells that intentionally overlap without a Boolean union, so your slicer must merge the touching volumes. Check the sliced layer preview before printing. No physical print test has been done and no support-free claim is made: the horizontal decks and frames may need support, and the mini's braces are only about 0.97 mm thick.
Orientation and units: the STLs are Y-up. Rotate +90 degrees about X in your slicer, place the plate on the bed, and import in millimetres (confirm the plate reads 40 or 64 mm).
Full TrueGeometry Playground commands: in the blog article https://blog.truegeometry.com/0_0_0_0/blogs/post-fa9bc098.html and the attached recipe files (tower_mini_recipe.txt, tower_display_recipe.txt). Run in Playground with normal Run, not Clean & Run; paste large recipes in chunks of about 150 lines, cutting only after a /setprop color line.
Files included:
tower_mini.stl / tower_display.stl - the two live-tested presets
tower_mini_recipe.txt / tower_display_recipe.txt - complete literal Playground commands per preset
tower_recipe.py - parameter expander (Python 3 standard library only) that generates native commands
README - run steps, mesh-check results, print notes and limitations
Two mesh-check reports (uploaded as .json.txt because Printables does not accept .json; rename after download) and the How-to-Run-a-Script PDF guide
