14 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.
- Clock tower and spire
The tall tower with its pointed roof is the most slender part of the model. Print slowly with good cooling, and use Print friendly if the print is small.
- Gables and pinnacles
The steep roofs, gables and small pinnacles are fine detail. Full detail keeps them on larger prints, and a layer height of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keeps the points crisp.
- One piece with the ground
The Jefferson Market Library 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 Jefferson Market Library 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 Jefferson Market Library
Greenwich Village's Jefferson Market Library, a New York Public Library branch, began as the Jefferson Market Courthouse. Its address is 425 Avenue of the Americas, also called Sixth Avenue, at West 10th Street, on a triangular lot where Greenwich Avenue meets West 10th Street. Between 1874 and 1877 it was constructed as the Third Judicial District Courthouse, to designs by Frederick Clarke Withers of Vaux and Withers.
Its High Victorian Gothic design mixes red brick, black stone and white granite, with yellow sandstone trim and roof slates in several shades. Withers expected a clock-tower building to resemble a church regardless, so he gave it church-like details with secular themes. For example, the tympanum depicts an episode from The Merchant of Venice, not a religious subject. It also has stained glass and a fountain with bird and animal decoration.
The courthouse was finished in 1877. In 1885 a panel of architects placed it fifth in a vote on America's most beautiful buildings. It stopped serving as a courthouse in 1945. The building faced demolition in 1958, but protests from the public led to it becoming a library instead. Architect Giorgio Cavaglieri restored the exterior and redesigned the interior, and the library opened in 1967. It became a National Historic Landmark in 1977.
