5 mm tall on a 160 mm print
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.
- Railings and a small lantern
Fine railings circle both galleries, and a slim lantern with a finial crowns the tower. Print friendly adapts these thin parts at small scale; Full detail suits a larger print. Print slowly.
- Ladder on a flared base
A thin ladder leans against the flared base. A layer height of 0.12–0.16 mm helps keep it and the base plates crisp.
- One piece with the ground
Greens Ledge Light 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. Greens Ledge Light 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 Greens Ledge Light
Greens Ledge Light is an offshore lighthouse, listed as historic, in western Long Island Sound near Norwalk and Darien, Connecticut. It is also known as Greens Ledge Lighthouse and Rowayton Lighthouse. Of the sparkplug lighthouses that survive in the United States, it is one of 33. The tower stands in ten feet of water at the western end of Greens Ledge, a shallow reef under the sea that extends a mile west from Sheffield Island.
The Philadelphia Construction Company completed the cast-iron structure in 1902. Five courses of curved iron plates make up its four stories. The foundation uses identical curved iron plates bolted together and filled with concrete. The interior is lined with brick, and the lantern is 7 feet (2.1 m) across. Rock from the Radio City Music Hall excavation, more than 30,000 tons of it, was added to the riprap foundation in 1933.
On May 29, 1990, the National Register of Historic Places listed the light, and the listing calls it a typical prefabricated cast-iron conical tower on a tubular cast-iron foundation. It was automated in 1972. A nonprofit formed by local residents, the Greens Ledge Light Preservation Society, took it over from the US Government in 2017 to restore and preserve it.
