About 345 Park Avenue
345 Park Avenue is a 193 m (634 ft) skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. The building takes up a whole block between Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue, from 51st Street to 52nd Street. Emery Roth & Sons designed the 44-floor tower, completed in 1969. It has its own ZIP Code, 10154. The Seagram Building lies to the north, while the General Electric Building and St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church stand to the south.
Before the tower, the block held the Hotel Ambassador, which opened in 1921, plus several townhouses and tenement buildings. Sheraton Hotels purchased the hotel in 1958 and renamed it the Sheraton-East. Rudin Management Company bought property on the block during the 1960s and acquired the Sheraton-East last, in 1965; it came down in 1966, clearing the way for a new office building. Lead design partner Richard Roth Jr. chose a light-colored facade on purpose, aiming for a building that would fit in beside its neighbors instead of competing with them, and argued against adding one more black building to Park Avenue.
The tower is set back behind a public plaza of 1,922 m2 (20,690 sq ft), stretching across the whole Park Avenue blockfront and partway along 51st Street. The plaza let developer Samuel Rudin earn a zoning bonus under the city's 1961 Zoning Resolution for providing open space, and it lies on the site's western side, to suit the open spaces next to St. Bartholomew's Church and the Seagram Building. Jack and Lewis Rudin commissioned Dinoceras, a 3.7 m (12 ft) sculpture by Robert Cook that was dedicated in 1971.

- Fine window and rib grid
- The walls are a fine grid of window openings and vertical ribs. Print friendly adapts these to the print scale; Full detail keeps them, which suits a larger print. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep the lines crisp.
- Tall box with a ribbed top
- The tower is a tall box with a ribbed top section. A larger print size keeps the ribs distinct, and printing slowly with good cooling helps a tall shape like this one.
- One piece with the ground
- 345 Park Avenue 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. 345 Park Avenue 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.
