Nakatomi Plaza building from Die Hard

Description
'Tis the season, Die Hard fans…
Welcome to the Nakatomi Plaza building!
*TRY WITHOUT SUPPORTS FIRST* - experience has shown that it prints cleaner than with supports, and also avoids the difficult removal, where the pillars may break.
This model was created by Daniel Muradás and optimized by Chris WS Milnes aka @3dmuckychris with a smaller square base and reinforcements under the entrance roof to help with the overhang.
This model is a great addition for Die Hard fans during the holiday season, and also to any cityscape or urban scale models.
The building's real name is Fox Plaza, a 34-story, 493-foot (150 m) skyscraper in Century City, Los Angeles, California. The building has been featured in at least four major motion pictures released by Fox. In the 1988 action film Die Hard, it was portrayed as the fictional Nakatomi Plaza, where almost all the events of the movie take place (from Wikipedia).
MiniWorld3D is excited to bring this badass model to you. Please give credit, it's all about spreading culture and education!

Note: some photos depict an older version of this model with a larger circular base that was removed to reduce print time, as it was unnecessary.

Printing Tips
Suggested parameters:
For better details, print slow, such as 20mm/s for outer perimeters.
Fine-tune retraction to avoid stringing.
Perimeters: 2
Top layers: 3
Infill: as low as 12%
No supports needed. The model has been optimized to remove all overhangs, even at the entrance, as you can see in the close-up photos.
