163 m of the Post Tower, 44 mm on your shelf
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.
- Twin curved wings
The tower is modeled as two offset curved office wings around a recessed glass atrium. Print friendly adapts the thin end screens and mullions; Full detail keeps them for a larger print.
- Open crown screen
An open screen of thin uprights and rails forms the crown above the flat roof. Layers of 0.12–0.16 mm keep it crisp, and printing slowly helps the slender members.
- One piece with the ground
The Post Tower 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 Post Tower 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 Post Tower
The Post Tower houses the headquarters of the logistics company DHL Group, whose two brands are Deutsche Post and DHL, in Bonn, Germany. It stands 162.5 m (533 ft) tall with 42 stories, ranks sixteenth among German skyscrapers, and is the second tallest in Germany outside Frankfurt am Main. German-American architect Helmut Jahn designed it, and it received the 2002 Silver Emporis Skyscraper Award.
Building work ran from May 2000 to December 2002. The steel-and-glass tower's office space measures about 55,000 m2, or 590,000 sq ft, and its base is formed from two staggered semi-ellipses of shifted circle segments. Its glass skin is doubled, leaving a 120 cm (47 in) cavity, and venetian blinds control natural ventilation; the north windows are smooth while the south-facing glass slopes gently to improve airflow.
The building draws as much as 130 liters (34 US gal) of groundwater a second, using it for heating and cooling its concrete core, while district heating, refrigerating equipment and heat pumps cover the rest of the energy requirement. Office air passes into the Sky Gardens, warms there, and returns outside through flaps on their east and west sides.
