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.
- Low in the default scene
The building prints low in the default scene, so a larger print size helps its long footprint and outline read clearly.
- Clean upper edges
Use 0.12–0.16 mm layers to keep the flat upper edges crisp.
- One piece with the ground
The Black Diamond 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 Black Diamond 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 Black Diamond
The Black Diamond is a modern waterfront extension of the Royal Danish Library's older building on Slotsholmen in Copenhagen. Its nickname comes from the polished black granite cladding and the irregular angles of its design. The Danish architects Schmidt Hammer Lassen designed it, and it opened in 1999 as the first of several large cultural buildings along the waterfront.
During the early 1990s, Denmark's Ministry of Cultural Affairs ran an international architecture competition for a Royal Library extension on Slotsholmen. It drew 178 Danish and international firms, and Schmidt Hammer Lassen won in 1993. Construction began in 1995, and the building cost DKK 465,000,000. The building was inaugurated on September 7, 1999, and the public was admitted on September 15, 1999.
The basic shape is a box that leans to the left when seen from the harbor and toward the water, expanding as it rises and from north to south. Its cladding is Absolute Black granite, mined in Zimbabwe and cut and polished in Italy. A broad glazed crevasse splits the facade and brings daylight into the central atrium, which is surrounded by wavy balconies. The building also holds the Queen's Hall, an auditorium with 600 seats, along with exhibition spaces, a café, and a garden.
