Welcome to Washington DC!

The Washington Monument is an obelisk on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., built to commemorate George Washington, the first President of the United States (1789–1797). The monument, made of marble, granite, and bluestone gneiss, is both the world's tallest predominantly stone structure and the world's tallest obelisk, standing almost 555 feet (169 m). It is the tallest monumental column in the world if all are measured above their pedestrian entrances. From 1884 to 1889 it was the tallest structure in the world, passing the Cologne Cathedral in Germany, and it was overtaken by the Eiffel Tower in Paris (from Wikipedia).

A version with the obelisk split in halves is provided to be printed with each half laying down on their side on the bed in case printing the standing up version proves difficult due to the limited base area and wiggling torwards the top.

Scaled to 250mm tall using Cura software for slicing. Used 20% cubic infill, .2 layer thickness and brim for plate adhesion. Came out perfect with no problems! Be careful with delicate flags.....should be made stronger. Took about 10.5 hours to print.
