12 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.
- Slender chimneys
The three tall chimney-like stacks are the thinnest parts of the model. Print slowly with good cooling, and use 0.12–0.16 mm layers to keep them crisp.
- Arched windows and roof vents
The tall arched windows and the raised roof sections are shallow detail. Print friendly adapts them to the print scale; Full detail keeps more of them on a larger print.
- One piece with the ground
The Hudson and Manhattan Railroad Powerhouse 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 Hudson and Manhattan Railroad Powerhouse 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 Hudson and Manhattan Railroad Powerhouse
Also called the Jersey City Powerhouse, the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad Powerhouse is in Jersey City, New Jersey, beside Harsimus Cove and the Harborside Financial Center, on the Hudson River's waterfront. Built in 1908, it made possible the New Jersey–New York subway system run by the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad, later PATH (from 1962). Railroad president William Gibbs McAdoo led its construction.
The powerhouse closed in 1929 and was then used to store railroad equipment. In the 1990s Preservation New Jersey listed it among the ten most endangered historic sites in the state. On November 23, 2001, it joined the National Register of Historic Places, recognized for architecture, engineering and transportation.
Stabilization work started in July 2009 and ran through 2010. The Port Authority, which held 55% of the building, agreed in 2011 to hand that share to Jersey City, its co-owner, in return for a nearby lot where an underground electric sub-station would be built. Jersey City completed the deal to purchase the building in 2018, after four years of legal dispute.
