About the Deutsche Bank Center
Deutsche Bank Center is a mixed-use complex in Manhattan, New York City, on Columbus Circle's western edge, where Hell's Kitchen meets the Upper West Side. Apollo Global Management and The Related Companies were its developers, and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's David Childs and Mustafa Kemal Abadan designed it. Its twin towers, each 230 m (750 ft) tall, are joined by an atrium, and no other pair of twin buildings in the United States is taller. Its total floor area of 260,000 m2 (2.8 million square feet) holds offices, residential condominiums, the Mandarin Oriental hotel and the venue of Jazz at Lincoln Center, with a shopping mall at the base.
The complex occupies the former New York Coliseum site; the Coliseum was once the city's main convention center. Plans, then called Columbus Center, were approved in 1998. Work started in November 2000, and the building topped out in a 2003 ceremony. It opened officially on February 5, 2004, as Time Warner Center. In May 2021 Deutsche Bank succeeded WarnerMedia as the lead tenant of the building's office space, about 100,000 m2 (1.1 million square feet), and the building was renamed Deutsche Bank Center.
The base is 150 m (480 ft) wide by 132 m (434 ft) deep. Two parallelogram-shaped towers rise from it, aligned with Broadway, which runs diagonally to the street grid, while the base follows the grid. Each tower has 55 stories. A grid of stainless-steel cables, designed by James Carpenter Design Associates, forms the entrance to the atrium between the towers; it was North America's largest of its kind when finished.
How it prints
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.

|---|---|---|
| 160 mm default | 62 mm | 1:3,750 |
| 200 mm | 77 mm | 1:3,000 |
| 256 mm | 99 mm | 1:2,344 |

- Twin towers with fine lines
- Both towers carry fine horizontal and vertical lines. Print slowly with good cooling so the tops stay clean, and use layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm to keep the lines crisp.
- Angled blocks at the base
- The base is a cluster of stepped and angled blocks. Print friendly adapts the smallest steps to your print scale; Full detail keeps every one, which suits a larger print.
- One piece with the ground
- The Deutsche Bank Center 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 Deutsche Bank Center 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 this model
The Deutsche Bank Center is one of more than 2,300 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
Common questions
Is there a Deutsche Bank Center STL I can download?
Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.
How big can I print it?
Any print size from 40 mm across. The Deutsche Bank Center grows with the print: about 62 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
Is it free?
Yes. Generation runs in your browser, with no account and nothing behind a paywall.
