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.

  1. Rows of arched windows

    Rows of round-arched windows and belt courses run across the brick faces. Full detail keeps them; at small sizes Print friendly simplifies the arches. A 0.12 mm layer height keeps the arch tops crisp.

  2. One piece with the ground

    The De Vinne Press Building is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.

  3. 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.

  4. Colors

    Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The De Vinne Press Building takes the building color.

  5. 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 De Vinne Press Building

Here stands the De Vinne Press Building, a former printing plant and commercial building. It sits on Lafayette Street (numbers 393–399), in NoHo, Manhattan, at the corner with Fourth Street. The firm Babb, Cook & Willard designed it in the Romanesque Revival style. New York City has designated it a landmark, and it has a National Register of Historic Places listing.

The building is seven stories high, not counting the raised basement. Its brick and terracotta facade has its decoration concentrated on the sides facing Fourth Street and Lafayette Street, with segmental arches, round-arched windows and horizontal belt courses. The interiors are utilitarian, built to carry the weight of printing presses, with load-bearing brick walls and columns of cast iron encased in brick piers.

Theodore Low De Vinne, who led the De Vinne Press as a typographer and printer, built it in 1885–1886. He first held a 25 percent stake, and Roswell Smith, founder of the Century Company, owned the rest. The structure expanded eastward between 1891 and 1892, and the press closed in 1922.
