43 m of Hersch Tower, 12 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.
- Stepped crown
The tower narrows in steps toward a small crown with fine detail. Print friendly adapts the crown to the print scale; Full detail and a layer height of 0.12–0.16 mm keep more of it.
- Low wings beside the tower
A long, low row of attached buildings runs along the street at the tower's foot. A bigger print keeps the gaps between its small roof sections clear.
- One piece with the ground
Hersch Tower 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. Hersch Tower 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 Hersch Tower
Hersch Tower, a historic Art Deco building, stands in midtown Elizabeth, New Jersey. Businessman Louis Hersh built it in 1931, during the Great Depression. The tower has 14 stories and rises 42.67 meters (140.0 feet), and its facade combines brick, marble and nickel.
The building was designed and planned by Nathan Myers, an architect from Newark, and Joseph Shanley, who was trained at Princeton. Originally, a built-in vacuum system served each unit through a wall receptacle, where a hose could be attached without extra machinery. Only two fire escape systems of its type existed in the US, and it had one: an internal slide to carry tenants quickly from any floor to the street.
The building was partly renovated in the 1970s: the elevators were replaced and the lobby got silver leaf. Foreclosure followed, and the Brooklyn-based Wydra brothers bought it in 1990. Hersch Tower contributes to the Mid-Town Historic District, a district that takes in the Elizabeth Public Library as well as the Union County Courthouse.
About this model
Hersch Tower is one of more than 4,300 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
