About the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum Hangars
Reading Regional Airport in Reading, Pennsylvania, is home to the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum (MAAM), which is both an aviation museum and a place for restoring aircraft. Russ Strine founded it. It collects historic war planes and classic airliners and restores them actively, along with rare aircraft, both civilian and military. Many of them regularly appear on the airshow circuit.
Every year since 1990, MAAM has put on its World War II Weekend Air Show, usually scheduled around June 6. The museum has taken on the task of returning a Northrop P-61B Black Widow to flying condition; the aircraft was recovered from New Guinea in 1989.
The hangars have grown over time. The museum bought 10 T-hangars from Airlife Hangars in 2014. Approval came in 2017 for a new hangar of 6,400 sq ft (590 m2) and a storage building of 3,200 sq ft (300 m2), and work started a year later.
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.
| Print size | Landmark height | Scale |
|---|---|---|
| 160 mm default | 3 mm | 1:3,750 |
| 200 mm | 4 mm | 1:3,000 |
| 256 mm | 5 mm | 1:2,344 |

- Low gabled hangars
- The hangars are low and wide with simple gabled roofs, so the print is flat. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep the roof lines crisp.
- Small sheds in a row
- Several narrow sheds sit side by side with fine gaps between them. A larger print keeps those gaps clear; Print friendly adapts them to the print scale and Full detail keeps them.
- One piece with the ground
- The Mid-Atlantic 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 Mid-Atlantic 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.
About this model
The Mid-Atlantic Air Museum Hangars is one of more than 2,300 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
Common questions
Is there a Mid-Atlantic 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 Mid-Atlantic 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.
Is it free?
Yes. Generation runs in your browser, with no account and nothing behind a paywall.
