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. Mansard roof, chimneys and cresting

    The steep mansard roof carries small chimneys and a delicate cresting along the ridge. Print friendly adapts these fine parts to the print scale; Full detail keeps them, best on a larger print.

  2. Tucked between taller buildings

    Taller buildings stand close on every side, so the model shows best from the north and east. A layer height of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keeps the carved facade details crisp.

  3. One piece with the ground

    Gilsey House is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.

  4. 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.

  5. Colors

  6. 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 Gilsey House

Gilsey House, a former 300-room hotel eight stories tall, stands on Broadway at number 1200, on the corner of West 29th Street, in Manhattan's NoMad neighborhood. The merchant and city alderman Peter Gilsey, an immigrant from Denmark, commissioned Stephen Decatur Hatch to design it. New York City has designated it a landmark, and it has a National Register of Historic Places listing.

Building ran from 1869 to 1871 at a cost of $350,000, and the Gilsey House Hotel opened in 1872. The Second Empire facade is cast iron, fabricated by Daniel D. Badger, an influential advocate for cast-iron architecture, though how much he shaped the design is unknown. A three-story mansard roof crowns it. Rooms had rosewood and walnut finishing, marble fireplace mantels and bronze chandeliers, and the hotel was the first in New York to offer telephones to guests. Oscar Wilde and Samuel Clemens were among its guests.

The hotel closed in 1911 after a legal conflict over the terms of its lease that began in 1904. Rust, water damage and sagging floors took their toll on the building. In 1980 it was purchased and converted into cooperative apartments, and in 1992 Building Conservation Associates almost fully restored the facade. It was listed on the National Register in 1978 and designated a city landmark in 1979.
