94 m of the Flatiron Building, 25 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 narrow, rounded prow
The northern corner narrows to a slim, rounded peak, which is the most delicate part of the model. A larger print keeps it from vanishing, and Print friendly adapts it to the print scale.
- Rows of arched windows
Small arched windows and carved trim cover the faces of the tower. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep them readable, and Full detail keeps every one for a larger print or a fine nozzle.
- One piece with the ground
The Flatiron 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 Flatiron 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 Flatiron Building
Rising 93.6 m (307 ft) over 175 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan's Flatiron District, the Flatiron Building was first called the Fuller Building. It has 22 stories, a steel frame and a triangular footprint. Daniel Burnham and Frederick P. Dinkelberg designed it, and it opened on October 1, 1902. Fifth Avenue runs along its west side, Broadway along its east side, and 22nd Street at its southern end. The name comes from its triangular shape, which recalls a cast-iron clothes iron, although the site is really a scalene right triangle.
The Fuller Company, a construction firm, developed it as its headquarters after the Newhouse family sold it the land in May 1901. Construction went quickly. The tower originally stood 87 m (285 ft) high and had 20 floors; a low retail annex called the cowcatcher and a penthouse were added soon after it opened. Because locals doubted the building's structural integrity, it was sometimes nicknamed Burnham's Folly. Its steel frame, designed by the engineering firm Purdy and Henderson, was meant to withstand wind forces four times the maximum for the area.
The facade splits vertically into three parts, like the sections of a classical column. A three-story limestone base sits below upper stories clad in glazed terracotta. The building marks the southern end of Madison Square and the northern edge of the Ladies' Mile Historic District. In 1966 New York City made it a landmark, it was listed in 1979 on the National Register of Historic Places, and it earned National Historic Landmark status in 1989.
