About the Berlin TV Tower
Built between 1965 and 1969 at Alexanderplatz, the Berlin TV Tower is the tallest structure in Germany. The steel sphere holds an observation deck and a revolving restaurant about 200 m above the city.
What the model includes
The tapering concrete shaft, the sphere and the antenna.
It is built from simple closed solids, so it slices cleanly and stands flat. In the download window you can set the height from 30 to 250 mm and add a base plate with the name in raised letters. The mesh has about 2,512 triangles, small enough to open in any slicer.
Print the Berlin TV Tower on its real terrain
Map data stores most buildings as a flat outline with a height, so the Berlin TV Tower would normally print as a plain block. In TerraPrinter, this model takes its place automatically. It is turned to match the outline in the map data and stands on the real elevation, with the streets, water and buildings around it.

Questions
Is the Berlin TV Tower 3D model free?
Yes. You can download the Berlin TV Tower as an STL or 3MF for free, without an account, and print it as many times as you like.
What size should I print the Berlin TV Tower?
At the default height of 120 mm it measures 10 × 10 × 120 mm. Pick any height from 30 to 250 mm before downloading. Thin parts like spires and antennas print better at 100 mm and up on a 0.4 mm nozzle.
Do I need supports?
No. The model stands flat on its base and prints upright without supports.
Can I print the Berlin TV Tower with the city around it?
Yes. "Print on its terrain" opens TerraPrinter with the area around the Berlin TV Tower selected. When you generate the model, this landmark replaces the plain block from the map data and stands on the real terrain with the surrounding streets and buildings.
