About Eye Filmmuseum

Eye Filmmuseum stands in Amsterdam's Overhoeks neighborhood, in the Netherlands, and combines a film archive, a museum and a cinema. It preserves and presents Dutch and foreign films that have been screened in the Netherlands. Queen Beatrix officially opened it on April 4, 2012, under the name Eye Film Institute Netherlands.

David van Staveren and Felix Halverstad set up its predecessor, the Dutch Historical Film Archive, in 1946, together with Piet Meerburg and Paul Kijzer of Filmtheater Kriterion. Once it had taken in the archives of Filmtheater de Uitkijk, it became the Netherlands Filmmuseum, with the film collector Jan de Vaal as its first director. In 2009 the museum merged with Holland Film, the Filmbank and the Netherlands Institute for Film Education.

Delugan Meissl Associated Architects, the firm behind the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, designed the building. It has two gallery spaces and four cinemas: one with 300 seats, two with 127 seats each, and a smaller one of about 67 seats. One gallery holds a permanent exhibition tracing the technical and aesthetic side of cinema's history, using equipment from the museum's collection of about 1,500 cinematic apparatuses. The other gallery is dedicated to experimental cinema.

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.

Sharp faceted roof planes
The building is made of large, angular roof planes that meet in sharp edges. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep those edges crisp, and printing slowly helps the pointed tip.
Thin walkway at the water
A thin walkway and small details sit at the building's base beside the water. Print friendly adapts thin parts to the print scale; Full detail keeps them, which suits a larger print.
One piece with the ground
Eye Filmmuseum 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. Eye Filmmuseum 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

Eye Filmmuseum 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 an Eye Filmmuseum 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. Eye Filmmuseum grows with the print: about 5 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.
