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.
- Saucer and antenna
A shallow observation disc and a long, segmented mast sit above a slender shaft. Print slowly with cooling for the thin upper mast, and use 0.12–0.16 mm layers to keep the collars and portholes crisp.
- Fan of supports
Sixteen open concrete struts fan out beneath the observation disc. Print friendly adapts these narrow members; Full detail keeps every strut for a larger print or a fine nozzle.
- One piece with the ground
The Tallinn TV Tower is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.

You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
About the Tallinn TV Tower
Tallinn TV Tower is a freestanding broadcasting tower with a public observation deck, standing near the Pirita suburb, about six km north-east of central Tallinn, Estonia. It was built to improve telecommunications for the sailing regatta at the 1980 Moscow Summer Olympics. The cornerstone was laid on September 30, 1975, and the tower opened on July 11, 1980, though its first transmission came in 1979. David Baziladze and Juri Sinis designed it, with Vladimir Obydov and Yevgeny Ignatov as engineers.
The structure pairs a 190-meter reinforced concrete tower with a 124-meter metal mast. The shaft is 15.2 meters across at the base and 8.2 meters from 140 meters up, and the 21st-floor observation deck sits 170 meters above ground with a diameter of 38 meters. The public company Levira administers it, and the World Federation of Great Towers counts it as a member. It came through a fire while it was being built.
The observation deck closed for renovation in November 2007, and the tower reopened on April 5, 2012, with a new interior by KOKO Arhitektid. Stained glass by Dolores Hoffmann was restored and relocated to the south face. In 1991, a well-known account describes radio operators who risked their lives to protect the country's free media from Soviet troops.
