13 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.
- Stepped setbacks
The tower steps back in several stages, with small notched tops on the upper sections. A layer height of 0.12–0.16 mm keeps each step crisp, and a larger print keeps the notches distinct.
- Tall slender tower
The tower is tall for its footprint. Printing slowly with good cooling helps the upper floors come out cleanly.
- One piece with the ground
Hotel Beach 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

- 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 Hotel Beach
Hotel Beach, called the Hotel Barnum in earlier years, is a historic hotel building in Bridgeport, Connecticut, at 140 Fairfield Avenue. The tower has thirteen stories, was built in 1927 in the Art Deco style, and was designed by Thomas, Martin & Kirkpatrick. Among Bridgeport's outstanding Art Deco buildings, it was built at the city's peak.
The building stands in northern downtown Bridgeport, facing south on Fairfield Avenue between Main Street and Broad Street. A steel and concrete frame carries it, covered in colored bricks. The main tower has two protruding ten-story sections with eight-story sections on either side, which gives it a stepped look. Romanesque round-arch windows form a band on the second story, and the second-floor interior, which held the hotel lobby, keeps many period features and finishes.
Thomas, Martin & Kirkpatrick, a New York firm experienced in hotel design, built it between 1927 and 1929. Its first name came from Francis Beach, a businessman who owned the land, but the hotel was soon renamed for P.T. Barnum, a booster of Bridgeport. The Great Depression followed soon after construction, and in the year after the hotel opened in 1929, it was foreclosed on. Vernon Dalhart, an early country music singer, worked there after his stardom. In 1978 the hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
