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.
- A narrow facade among towers
Only a small slice of street frontage is modeled, set among much taller buildings. A larger print or Full detail keeps the narrow facade from blurring into its neighbors.
- One piece with the ground
The Metro Theater 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 Metro Theater 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 Metro Theater
The Metro Theater is a former movie house at 2626 Broadway, on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Boak and Paris designed it, and it was built between 1932 and 1933, with 550 seats at first. A.C. and H.M. Hall had bought an apartment building on the site in 1931 and replaced it, and the Midtown Theater opened there on June 2, 1933.
On Broadway, the facade rises about three and a half stories. A marquee spans most of the frontage above the main entrance and reaches almost to the curb. The upper part is terracotta, divided vertically into three sections, and the central section carries a decorative polychromed medallion. The design is Art Deco.
The theater showed first-run films until the 1950s, then art-house films. From 1982 Dan Talbot ran repertory screenings there, and in 1986 the building was divided into two auditoriums. It shut for good in November 2005, and the interior was gutted the following year. The original facade survives as a New York City designated landmark.
