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.
- Repeating facade detail
An office building's facade has fine repeating detail. Print friendly adapts it to the print scale; Full detail keeps more of it and suits a larger print with a 0.12–0.16 mm layer height.
- One piece with the ground
The J. Edgar Hoover Building 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 J. Edgar Hoover Building 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 J. Edgar Hoover Building
The FBI is headquartered in the J. Edgar Hoover Building, a low-rise office building at 935 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. Planning began in 1962. Designers wanted to avoid the blocky, monolithic structure that was common in federal architecture then. Work on the superstructure started in May 1971, and construction ended in September 1975, when President Gerald Ford dedicated it on September 30.
J. Edgar Hoover, a former FBI director, gave the building its name. Congress passed a law formally naming it on October 14, 1972, and President Richard Nixon signed it on October 30. Delays pushed the cost up, starting at $60 million and ending at $126.108 million. Its floor space totals 260,210 square meters (2,800,876 square feet), and a secure system of elevators and corridors keeps public tours apart from the rest of the building. Three floors lie below ground, along with a parking garage.
On the Pennsylvania Avenue NW side the building is eight stories; on the E Street NW side it is 11 stories. Two wings join the two main buildings and enclose an open-air courtyard that is trapezoidal in shape. The exterior is buff-colored concrete, both precast and cast in place, with repeating square windows tinted bronze and set deep in concrete frames.
About this model
The J. Edgar Hoover Building is one of more than 5,500 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Each model is written as code from public descriptions, plans, photographs and aerial views used only as references; no image or third-party model is copied into it. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. Rights in the building itself, its name and any brands on it are not granted by Mini Skyline; clear them separately before you sell prints. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
