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.
- Round core with low wings
A circular core with low wings has a curved outline. A layer height of 0.12–0.16 mm keeps the curves smooth, and a larger print size keeps small details.
- One piece with the ground
The Marine Air Terminal 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 Marine Air Terminal 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 Marine Air Terminal
The Marine Air Terminal, also called Terminal A, stands at LaGuardia Airport, which is in Queens, New York City. William Delano of Delano & Aldrich designed the main building in the Art Deco style, and it opened in 1940. It was created for Pan Am's Boeing 314 Clippers, flying boats that came down on nearby Bowery Bay. It was LaGuardia's original terminal for overseas flights and was highly popular in the 1940s.
Advances in technology made the Clippers obsolete after World War II, and in 1946 the terminal was renovated for conventional planes. The main building has a two-story circular core, flanked by a pair of two-story wings, with an entrance pavilion jutting out. The facade is brick painted buff, trimmed in black, and has a frieze showing flying fish.
The main rotunda, reached through doors under a canopy in the three-story rectangular entrance pavilion, has marble floors and walls and the Flight mural by James Brooks. In 1980 both the interior and exterior became New York City landmarks, and in 1982 it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. A seaplane hangar that stood next to the main building now serves as a garage for vehicles that remove snow.
About this model
The Marine Air Terminal 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.
