About Christown Spectrum Mall
Christown Spectrum is a shopping mall at 1703 W. Bethany Home Road in Phoenix, Arizona. Its name merges those of two earlier incarnations, Chris-Town and Phoenix Spectrum. The first of those honored Chris Harri, a farmer who sold much of his farmland to Del Webb, the mall's developer, during the late 1950s. It opened in 1961 as an enclosed mall.
Welton Becket & Associates of Los Angeles and the Tucson firm Friedman & Jobusch designed it, and Del Webb's construction company built it. Chris-Town Mall had its opening on August 24, 1961, as the first indoor mall in the state, air-conditioned inside. Its first anchors were Montgomery Ward, JCPenney and Korricks. Each of those three department stores had a themed courtyard before it, named for fountains, flowers and birds.
Construction of a new southwestern wing began in 1973, with a United Artists Cinemas 6 on its upper level, and a Bullock's department store opened there in November 1977. A renaming to Phoenix Spectrum Mall came in November 2001, when Grossman Company Properties started a $10 million renovation. Redevelopment later shrank the enclosed portion and moved the layout closer to a power center.

- Low, wide roofline
- The building is long and low, with a flat roof. A larger print size gives the roof and its small rooftop units more material to hold their shape.
- Small rooftop units
- Small boxes dot the roof. Print friendly adapts them to the print scale; Full detail keeps every one, which suits a large print.
- One piece with the ground
- Christown Spectrum Mall 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

- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
