  1. A tall, narrow tower

    This is a tall tower with stepped setbacks near the top. Print slowly with good cooling so the upper floors stay clean, and use 0.12-0.16 mm layers for the setback edges.

  2. Fine vertical piers

    The facade is a dense pattern of vertical lines. Print friendly keeps it readable at small sizes; Full detail suits a larger print.

  3. One piece with the ground

    1 Rockefeller Plaza is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.

  4. Pick the detail for your nozzle

    In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.

  6. File format

    You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.

About 1 Rockefeller Plaza

1 Rockefeller Plaza is a 36-story tower in Midtown Manhattan, standing between 48th and 49th Streets on the plaza's east side. Finished in 1937, it belongs to Rockefeller Center and shares the complex's Art Deco style. Earlier names were Time & Life Building and General Dynamics Building.

Digging for the tower began in June 1936 on a site that was then a parking lot, the city's largest. The original plan called for 32 stories, but setbacks on the 48th Street side allowed 36. The steelwork went up from September 25 to November 28, 1936, taking forty-three working days, and the building opened on April 1, 1937. Time Inc. had been drawn by the promise of seven floors and a penthouse, and by the chance to name it after itself.

The design has a setback at the 10th floor on the 48th Street side, while the 49th Street side rises as a slab. Artwork includes Lee Lawrie's bas-relief "Progress" above the 49th Street entrance and, in the lobby, a sculpture in three parts, made of wood and silver, by Carl Milles called "Man and Nature". The tower took its present name from its street address after General Dynamics left for St. Louis in 1971.
