180 m of the Manhattan Municipal Building, 48 mm on your shelf
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.
- Tiered crown and corner spires
The tower finishes in a stepped cupola with small corner spires and a tiny statue. Print friendly adapts these thin parts to the print scale; Full detail keeps them, best on a larger print with a 0.12–0.16 mm layer height.
- Slow down for the top
The crown has little area per layer, so printing slowly with good cooling for the last layers helps the thin spires and statue come out cleanly.
- One piece with the ground
The Manhattan Municipal 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 Manhattan Municipal 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 Manhattan Municipal Building
The David N. Dinkins Municipal Building was originally the Municipal Building and later the Manhattan Municipal Building. It is 40 stories and 580 feet (180 m) tall, at 1 Centre Street in Manhattan's Civic Center neighborhood. The 1898 consolidation of the five boroughs raised the city's need for government space, and the building was built to meet it. Construction began in 1909 and lasted until 1914.
McKim, Mead & White designed the building, which was one of the last in New York built under the City Beautiful movement. Descriptions of its style range from Beaux-Arts to Roman Imperial, Italian Renaissance and French Renaissance. Offering roughly 93,000 m2 (1 million square feet) of offices, it ranks among the biggest government buildings anywhere. A subway station is built into the base, and the gilded Civic Fame statue crowns the top.
Three earlier contests to design a single city government building had all failed. A fourth, held in 1907 by the Commissioner of Bridges, paired the design with a terminal for subways and trolleys at the Brooklyn Bridge, and the McKim, Mead & White plan won. The Landmarks Preservation Commission designated it a landmark in 1966, and it gained a National Register of Historic Places listing in 1972. In October 2015 it took the name of David N. Dinkins, the city's first African-American mayor.
