The Turning Torso

thingiverse

The Turning Torso is a neo-futurist residential skyscraper in Sweden and the tallest building in Scandinavia. Located in Malmö on the Swedish side of the Öresund strait, it was designed by Spanish architect, structural engineer, sculptor and painter Santiago Calatrava and officially opened in 2005. The tower reaches a height of 190 metres (623 ft) with 54 storeys and 147 apartments. There is a plain model and a model with built in supports. I haven't figured out the best way to print this yet I think, but the supports version works OK, except for making the back spline a bit jagged on my printer. If you have a good slicer you might get better results just using the normal model and using the slicer's supports. Note that the plain model will not print without supports because there are large overhangs.
