10 mm tall on a 160 mm print
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.
- A long office block
The main block's length is its defining shape, so a larger print keeps the facade and roofline even; Print friendly adapts the smallest details at the default size.
- Window rows and roofline
Rows of windows and the roofline carry the detail. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep them crisp on a larger print.
- One piece with the ground
The IG Farben Building 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 IG Farben Building 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 IG Farben Building
The IG Farben Building is a complex of buildings in Frankfurt, Germany, and serves as the central building on Goethe University Frankfurt's Westend Campus. Hans Poelzig designed it in the New Objectivity style, and it was completed in 1931 as IG Farben's corporate headquarters. At the time it was the largest building erected in the Weimar Republic, and it stayed Europe's largest office complex into the 1950s.
During Nazi rule, IG Farben was part of the German war economy and used forced labor, including at Buna-Monowitz near Auschwitz. In front of the building, the Norbert Wollheim Memorial remembers the company's forced laborers. American forces took Frankfurt in March 1945, after which the Allied and American military administrations used the complex as a headquarters. Eisenhower worked in the building, and in 1948 the Frankfurt Documents were presented there.
It later held the US Army's V Corps, and in 1975 it took the name General Creighton W. Abrams Building. In 1995 the complex passed back to German control. Hesse acquired the site in 1996 for Goethe University, and the renovated building reopened in 2001. It contains humanities institutes, a library center, the Fritz Bauer Institute and a permanent exhibition on the site's history.
