32 m of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, 10 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.
- A long, low block
The model is one long block, wider than it is tall, so its length and corners are what read. Print it larger to keep the outline crisp, and use 0.12 to 0.16 mm layers.
- One piece with the ground
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing 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 Bureau of Engraving and Printing 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 Bureau of Engraving and Printing
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing belongs to the Treasury Department and makes security products for the federal government. Paper money, in the form of Federal Reserve Notes for the Federal Reserve, is its best-known output; Treasury securities, military commissions, identification cards and other documents follow. Currency production makes it one of two Treasury agencies of this kind, alongside the United States Mint, which strikes coins. Plants at Washington, D.C., and at Fort Worth, Texas, make it the country's biggest producer of government security documents.
Between 14th and 15th streets SW sits the main building, raised in 1914. Neoclassical in style, it is built on a steel superstructure of fireproof concrete, with Indiana limestone and granite trim outside. Stone columns run the length of the front, which looks toward Raoul Wallenberg Place, with the Tidal Basin and Jefferson Memorial beyond; that frontage is 505 feet (154 m). The block is 296 feet (90 m) deep, 105 feet (32 m) tall, and four wings reach back toward 14th Street.
Across 14th Street from it, between C and D streets SW, an annex was finished in May 1938 to take the growth in staff and output. Reinforced concrete faced in limestone forms the whole of it: 570 feet (170 m) from end to end and 285 feet (87 m) across, with a central backbone and five wings running north and south. The main building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Auditor's Building Complex.
