As a fan of Red Alert i really wanted to have tower like this. I really hate painting my prints. So i decided to make tower in parts. You can print in whatever color you like and it looks really nice. Depending on your printer settings you my need to use glue if holes are too big or cut holes bigger if its too tight, like me as my printer is over-extruding
Also i had an idea to make lamp of it so i used clear PLA for prism covers and put LEDs inside. It looks awesome in the dark. I put inside two types of LEDs. 2 layers of white for a strong white light and 2 layers of self-changing RGB LEDs for a "night lamp". I can switch on one type at time or both. I attached photo of my idea how to put the LEDs inside.
There is a hole inside tower from top to bottom for a wires
I printed it in 100% scale and its pretty big, around 25cm high
My next project will be Tesla Tower. They will be looking great both next to each other.
Printer:

Rafts:
No
Supports:
Yes

Support needed only for two middle parts (red and silver) for the holes in the middle. The rest i printed without supports and had no problems, even with prism top.
