About 50 West 66th Street
Manhattan's Upper West Side, in New York City, is home to the skyscraper at 50 West 66th Street. Extell Development Company is the developer and Snøhetta the architect. The design calls for chamfered corners, private loggias, setbacks and a communal terrace on the 16th floor. Its facade design pairs limestone and burnished bronze below the 16th floor with glass and burnished-bronze chamfers above it.
The building was first meant to have 25 stories before the plans changed. When plans for an enlarged tower of 775 feet (236 m) and 69 stories came out in late 2017, neighbors objected right away. The city approved the tower in December 2018, overriding that opposition.
Neighborhood groups sued to block the project, arguing that the added height came from misuse of mechanical space. In January 2020 the Board of Standards and Appeals of New York City approved the permit by vote, and the tower topped out in late February 2024.

- Very tall, slim tower
- The tower is tall and slim, with a slanted top and a wider base. Printing slowly and using layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm help keep the sharp edges crisp.
- Fine floor lines
- A grid of fine floor lines wraps the facade. Print friendly adapts it to the print scale; Full detail keeps it, which suits a larger print.
- One piece with the ground
- 50 West 66th 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. 50 West 66th 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.
