7 mm tall on a 160 mm print
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.
- A plain block with fine edges
A city office block is a plain mass, so the outline and roofline do most of the work. Print larger or choose Full detail to keep those edges sharp.
- Layers for the street front
The block's long street front is where the eye goes first. Layers of 0.12–0.16 mm hold its edges, and a slower print helps the thin top edge.
- One piece with the ground
The Bradbury 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 Bradbury 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 Bradbury Building
The Bradbury Building is a five-story office block in downtown Los Angeles, at Broadway and Third Street. A skylit atrium of walkways, stairs and open elevators, framed by ornate ironwork, is what it is known for. It appears in many films, television shows and music videos, and it is the oldest landmarked building in the city.
Lewis L. Bradbury, a millionaire from gold mining, commissioned the building. The local architect Sumner Hunt produced a complete design, but Bradbury judged it inadequate and gave the job to Hunt's draftsman George Wyman. No firm evidence shows that Wyman altered Hunt's plan, so who counts as the architect is disputed. It opened in 1893, a few months after Bradbury had died in 1892, and was finished in 1894 for $500,000, roughly three times the original $175,000 budget.
Outside, the facade is brown brick, sandstone and terracotta, in a commercial Italian Renaissance Revival style. Inside, the court combines glazed and unglazed yellow and pink brick, cast iron, Italian marble, Mexican tile and polished wood under a skylight. The wrought iron came from France and had been shown at Chicago's 1893 World's Fair. It was listed on the National Register in 1971 and became a National Historic Landmark in 1977.
