47 m of the Bierpinsel, 13 mm on your shelf
Make this print opens the generator on a 600 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.
- Tall, compact tower
The model is a tall, compact tower, so its upper edges soften first at small sizes. Print slowly with good cooling near the top, and use 0.12–0.16 mm layers to keep them crisp.
- One piece with the ground
The Bierpinsel is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The Bierpinsel takes the building color.
- File format
You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
About the Bierpinsel
The Bierpinsel is a 47-meter-high building in Steglitz, Berlin, on Schloßstraße. It was built in 1976 and is noted for futuristic architecture, and it has held protected status since January 2017. Its nickname means beer brush in English, a reference to the brush-like vertical steel girders on its exterior and to its planned gastronomic purpose.
Architects Ralf Schüler and Ursulina Schüler-Witte designed the tower, which was in construction from 1972 to 1976. The Steglitz Tower Restaurant opened there on October 13, 1976, and the architecture belongs to the pop art movement. The tower was added as an extension to the Joachim Tiburtius Bridge and was made of concrete, plastic cladding and paint, with a red top section originally.
The name Bierpinsel was coined during construction as a Berlinism, and a later owner made it official by naming the company Bierpinsel GmbH. In April 2010, several graffiti artists painted the exterior over several weeks for the Turmkunst 2010 project, a street art exhibition held in and around the tower.
