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.

  1. Arched hangar roof

    The hangar has a single long barrel-vault roof. Layers of 0.12–0.16 mm keep the curve smooth, and a bigger print size reduces visible stepping on the arch.

  2. Name on the hangar doors

    Lettering marks the hangar doors on one end. Print friendly adapts shallow lettering to the print scale, while Full detail keeps it on larger prints.

  3. One piece with the ground

    The Airline History Museum Hangar 9 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.

  5. Colors

    Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The Airline History Museum Hangar 9 takes the building color.

  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 the Airline History Museum Hangar 9

Larry A. Brown and Dick McMahon, both aviation enthusiasts, founded the museum in 1986, when it was called Save-A-Connie; it later became the Airline History Museum. Its subject is U.S. airline history, and it sits at Kansas City Downtown Airport in Missouri. Other enthusiasts joined them, among them current and former TWA employees. Rather than build its own hangar for the Constellation, the museum agreed in 2000 to lease Hangar 9 at the airport from Executive Beechcraft.

The Lockheed Super "G" Constellation, nicknamed "Star of America", was a 1986 gift to Save-A-Connie from Paul Pristo, and it is described as the first Constellation ever fully restored to flying condition. It appeared in the documentary First Flights, with Neil Armstrong as narrator, and in films including Voyager in 1992 and The Aviator in 2004. The museum sold it in 2024.

The museum's Douglas DC-3 dates from February 1941, when it was constructed at Santa Monica in California, and Transcontinental and Western Airlines took delivery of it at Kansas City on March 4, 1941. In 1956 a reproduction of Disney's TWA Moonliner, called Moonliner II and standing 22 feet (6.7 m) tall, went up on top of TWA's Kansas City headquarters building at the direction of Howard Hughes.
