You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
About the Chilehaus
The Chilehaus, a ten-story office block in Hamburg's Kontorhaus District, is an example of the Brick Expressionism of the 1920s. It occupies a site of roughly 6,000 m2 (1.5 acres) and spans Fischertwiete Street. The German architect Fritz Höger designed it, and it was finished in 1924. In 2015 UNESCO added the Kontorhaus District, Chilehaus included, to its World Heritage list.
Its top recalls a ship's prow, and at the junction of the Pumpenstrasse and Niedernstrasse two facades converge at a very narrow angle. Strong vertical elements, recessed upper stories and a curved facade on the Pumpenstraße give the large block a sense of lightness, and the building is best seen from the east. The structure is reinforced concrete, built with 4.8 million dark Oldenburg bricks. Difficult ground required reinforced-concrete pilings 16 meters deep.
The shipping magnate Henry B. Sloman commissioned the building; he had made his fortune in the saltpeter trade with Chile, which gave the house its name. The sculptor Richard Kuöhl provided the sculptural elements for the facade and the staircases. Because the site lies close to the Elbe River, the cellar was specially sealed, and the heating equipment sits in a caisson that can float inside the building if it floods.
