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.
- Low round walls and small pavilions
The ring is a low wall with two small roofed pavilions and thin posts inside. Print friendly adapts the thin posts to the print scale; Full detail keeps them, better on a larger print with a 0.12–0.16 mm layer height.
- One piece with the ground
Castle Clinton 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. Castle Clinton 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 Castle Clinton
Within Battery Park at Manhattan's southern tip stands Castle Clinton, a restored circular sandstone fort that is also called Fort Clinton and Castle Garden. It went up between 1808 and 1811 and served as the first immigration station in the United States, before Ellis Island existed. John McComb Jr. designed it, with Jonathan Williams as consulting engineer. Troops garrisoned it in 1812, but it never saw combat.
Originally the West Battery, or Southwest Battery, it stood on an artificial island just off Lower Manhattan's shore. Red sandstone from New Jersey forms its walls. The plan is roughly circular, with a radius of about 92 feet (28 m) and a straight wall along about one-eighth of the circle. It was armed with 28 thirty-two-pounder cannons, and a wooden bridge connected it to the rest of Manhattan.
In 1824 the city changed it into an entertainment venue seating 6,000 called Castle Garden, which ran until 1855. For the next 35 years it processed immigrants, and over 7.5 million people landed there between 1855 and 1890. The New York Aquarium had its first home here, opening in 1896. New York City has designated it a landmark, and it is also a U.S. national monument with a National Register of Historic Places listing.
