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.
- Tower bands and roof pads
The model has a tall rounded-square tower with broad glazing bands and a low workroom roof covered in shallow circular pads. A 0.12–0.16 mm layer height helps both read at small print sizes.
- Dendriform entrance columns
The entrance passage sits beneath an elevated office bridge supported by flared columns. Full detail keeps those capitals; a larger print makes the open passage easier to see.
- One piece with the ground
The Johnson Wax Headquarters is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.

You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
About the Johnson Wax Headquarters
The Johnson Wax Headquarters is the head office of S. C. Johnson & Son, a household goods company based in Racine, Wisconsin. Its original campus includes two Frank Lloyd Wright buildings: the Administration Building, finished in April 1939, plus the Research Tower, finished in November 1950. The site also includes the Golden Rondelle Theater, a pavilion from the New York World's Fair of 1964 that was later moved to the site, and Fortaleza Hall.
S. C. Johnson hired Wright in 1936 after it rejected an earlier design from J. Mandor Matson. Work began that September and progressed slowly because of Wright's attention to detail and his new construction methods. The company rehired Wright in 1945 for the Research Tower, which was used for research and development after it opened. The tower closed in 1982 over safety concerns and partially reopened for tours in 2014.
The Administration Building is a streamlined variation in the Art Moderne manner, with a curved brick exterior and windows made of Pyrex glass tubes. Its main interior space, the great workroom, has concrete shell columns topped by large calyx forms. The 15-story Research Tower has Pyrex-tube windows set into a brick facade, with square floors alternating with round mezzanines that cantilever from the core. The original headquarters is a National Historic Landmark.
