About the March Field Air Museum Hangars
Near Moreno Valley and Riverside, California, at March Air Reserve Base, stands the March Field Air Museum, an aviation museum. It began in 1979 as the March Air Force Base Museum, opening to the public on December 19, 1979, in Building 467, the base's former theater. In May 1980 the March Field Museum Foundation was established, and the museum then moved to Building 420, a former commissary of 2,400 m2 (26,000 sq ft), reopening on February 20, 1981.
By 1986 the museum's planes sat in three places on the base, and a building of 19,000 m2 (200,000 sq ft) was planned to unite them. A site beside Interstate 215, west of the runway, was picked in 1987, and construction was approved in July 1990. A new hangar of 1,780 m2 (19,200 sq ft) on a 30-acre (120,000 m2) parcel was started in April 1992, and the museum opened there in 1993. A nonprofit took over from the Air Force in 1996, and the museum became the March Field Air Museum in May 1999. The following June saw the dedication of the Dick Van Rennes Restoration Hangar.
Indoor displays cover a timeline of March Field, the Space Race, strategic reconnaissance and a recreated World War II-era mural. South of the main hangar, the P-38 National Association operates the Tony LeVier Hangar. Outdoors there is a memorial to war dogs, a recreated Vietnam War firebase called Firebase Romeo Charlie, and a memorial to the NASA astronauts lost in the Challenger and Columbia disasters, built around a Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster.
How it prints
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.

|---|---|---|
| 160 mm default | 3 mm | 1:3,750 |
| 200 mm | 4 mm | 1:3,000 |
| 256 mm | 5 mm | 1:2,344 |

- Wide, shallow roofs
- The big hangar roofs are wide and shallow, with fine seam lines. Layers of 0.12–0.16 mm keep the seams crisp, and a larger print size makes them easier to see.
- A very low model
- The hangars are low, so their small details are tiny on the print. Full detail keeps them on a larger print, while Print friendly adapts them when the print is small.
- One piece with the ground
- The March Field Air Museum Hangars 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 March Field Air Museum Hangars 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.

Common questions
Is there a March Field Air Museum Hangars STL I can download?
Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.
How big can I print it?
Any print size from 40 mm across. The March Field Air Museum Hangars grows with the print: about 3 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
