Make this print opens the generator on a 600 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.
- A cast-iron window grid
The facade is a regular grid of columns and large windows, which can blur into fine lines at small sizes. A larger print with Full detail, or a 0.12–0.16 mm layer height, keeps the grid crisp.
- One piece with the ground
254–260 Canal Street is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- 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.
- Colors
Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. 254–260 Canal Street takes the building color.
- 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 254–260 Canal Street
The Bruce Building, at 254–260 Canal Street, stands at the Lafayette Street corner, in Manhattan's Chinatown. It was built in 1856–57 in the Italian Renaissance revival style and is five stories tall. George Bruce, a successful printer who invented new printing technologies, was the client; printing then ranked among the leading industries in New York.
James Bogardus, a pioneer in using cast iron in architecture, may have supplied the cast-iron parts of the facade. If so, it would rank as the biggest and most significant of his remaining works. The cast-iron columns made large windows possible, which improved working conditions and efficiency in manufacturing. The lot was open because a lumber mill there had burned down shortly before, which made fire-retardant cast iron appealing.
Architect Jack L. Gordon converted the building to offices in 1987. New York City designated it a landmark in 1985, and the National Register of Historic Places listed it in 2006. Its mildly Italianate style makes it a particularly handsome piece of industrial architecture from the nineteenth century.
