8 mm tall on a 160 mm print
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.
- Slim finialed towers
Thin towers with pointed tops rise along the front and sides. Print friendly adapts them to the print scale; Full detail suits a larger print, and a layer height of 0.12–0.16 mm keeps the tips crisp.
- Large cone-shaped roof
A large sloped roof, partly shaped like a cone, covers the main hall. Gentle curves show layer lines, so a fine layer height gives a smoother roof.
- One piece with the ground
The Metropolitan Baptist Church 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 Metropolitan Baptist Church 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 Metropolitan Baptist Church
The Metropolitan Baptist Church is at 151 West 128th Street, at the corner with Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard in Harlem, Manhattan. It was first built in two parts for the New York Presbyterian Church. That church relocated from 167 West 111th Street. John Rochester Thomas designed the chapel and lecture room, built in 1884-85. Richard R. Davis designed the main sanctuary, constructed in 1889-90, perhaps following an unused design by Thomas. A corner tower was planned but never built.
Founded in 1912, the Metropolitan Baptist congregation acquired the building in 1918. It ranked among Harlem's first African American congregations. Before that it worshipped at 120 West 138th Street in the Metropolitan Baptist Tabernacle, a building that went on to become Liberty Hall, a hub for the Back-to-Africa movement. New York City designated the church a Landmark in 1981, and the National Register of Historic Places listing followed in 1982.
Though built in stages, the church holds together as a single design in granite, blending Romanesque Revival and Gothic Revival elements. It is two and one half stories high, with a tremendous slate roof in the shape of a partial cone. Groups of stained glass lancet windows with Gothic arches appear at various levels of the front facade, and thin towers topped with finials stand out on the west facade.
