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.
- Tall, narrow facade
The model is a tall, narrow building with fire escapes and many window arches across its front. Print friendly keeps these details readable at small sizes; use Full detail on a larger print to keep the fire escapes crisp.
- One piece with the ground
The Ahrens Building 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. The Ahrens Building 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 the Ahrens Building
The Ahrens Building rises seven stories in Manhattan's Civic Center area, in New York City, and is built in the Romanesque Revival and Richardsonian Romanesque styles. Architect George Henry Griebel combined polychrome brickwork, terra cotta and metal above a limestone base, and New York City designated it a landmark in 1992.
Herman F. Ahrens, who owned a liquor store, acquired a pair of properties on the corner of Elm Street and Franklin Street in 1879. A municipal project in 1881 to widen Elm Street put them at risk of demolition, so he developed the present building as a speculative development. Sprague Electric installed six elevators on February 16, 1895.
The building stayed with the Ahrens family up to 1968, at which point Morris and Herbert Moskowitz acquired it. Upper floors that had served as storage since the 1940s went back to office use, and the ground floor has held a succession of bars and restaurants since the 1960s.
