About the Brandenburg Gate
The Brandenburg Gate was completed in 1791 and is topped by the Quadriga, a chariot drawn by four horses. Once cut off by the Berlin Wall, it became a symbol of German reunification.
What the model includes
The two rows of Doric columns with the walls between the passages, the end pylons, the entablature, the attic and the Quadriga.
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 828 triangles, small enough to open in any slicer.
Print the Brandenburg Gate on its real terrain
Map data stores most buildings as a flat outline with a height, so the Brandenburg Gate 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 Brandenburg Gate 3D model free?
Yes. You can download the Brandenburg Gate 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 Brandenburg Gate?
At the default height of 120 mm it measures 181 × 60 × 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 Brandenburg Gate with the city around it?
Yes. "Print on its terrain" opens TerraPrinter with the area around the Brandenburg Gate 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.
