103 m of the American Radiator Building, 28 mm on your shelf
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.
- Crown with pinnacles and setbacks
The stepped, pointed crown is the finest part of this tall, narrow tower. Print friendly adapts it to the print scale; Full detail keeps every pinnacle, so choose it for a larger print with a 0.12–0.16 mm layer height.
- Slow and cool for the top
The tower narrows toward the crown, so the last layers have little area to cool. Slowing the print there helps the small pinnacles come out crisp.
- One piece with the ground
The American Radiator 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 American Radiator 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 American Radiator Building
Raymond Hood and André Fouilhoux designed the American Radiator Building, also called the American Standard Building, for the American Radiator Company, blending Gothic and Art Deco styles. This early skyscraper stands at 40 West 40th Street, south of Bryant Park in Midtown Manhattan. Its original tower, 103 m (338 ft) high with 23 stories, was finished in 1924. A five-story annex went up on the west side between 1936 and 1937.
Most of the facade is black brick, and gold-colored ornament picks out the setbacks and pinnacles. Hood wanted the original structure to read as a freestanding shaft, so it had to sit back from the lot line, which reduced the space available. Exhibition showrooms were planned for the first two floors and the basement, and offices filled the floors above.
Philip Pilevsky bought the main building in 1998, and a hotel called Bryant Park Hotel opened inside it in 2001. From 2001 to 2009 the annex held the Katharine Gibbs School, and in 2012 it was converted into Guttman Community College, part of the City University of New York. The building has New York City landmark designation and a National Register of Historic Places listing.
