About the Mob Museum
The Mob Museum is a history museum in Downtown Las Vegas, Nevada, with a focus on organized crime and on the law enforcement that opposed it. It opened on February 14, 2012. Inside, it covers artifacts, stories and the history of organized crime across the United States, together with efforts by police and agents to stop it. The address is on Stewart Avenue, with Fremont Street, the principal route through the downtown casino district, two blocks south.
The building that houses it served earlier as the Las Vegas Post Office and Courthouse. It was built in 1933 and is included in the National Register of Historic Places. Its sale to the city for $1 came in 2000, from the federal government, with a request that it be restored to its original appearance and kept for a cultural purpose. Oscar Goodman, mayor at the time, first proposed a mob museum in 2002. Estimates put the budget at $50 million, with $26 million of that for restoring the building.
The centerpiece is the second-floor courtroom, the setting for one of fourteen national hearings by the Kefauver Committee, held in 1950 and 1951 to expose organized crime. The museum also has the brick wall from the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre. In April 2018 it opened a working speakeasy and distillery in its basement exhibit, called The Underground.

- Ornate roofline and window frames
- The cornice, window frames and arched ground-floor openings are small details. Use Print friendly to adapt them to the print scale, or Full detail on a larger print.
- Thin flagpole on the roof
- A slim pole stands on the flat roof beside small rooftop vents. Print slowly, and a larger print size keeps the pole sturdier.
- One piece with the ground
- The Mob Museum 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 Mob Museum 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.

Is there a Mob Museum 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 Mob Museum grows with the print: about 6 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
