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.

  1. Keep the railings legible

    Thin railings and open framing run beside the stepped building. Choose Print friendly to adapt these slender pieces at a small print size, or use a larger print with Full detail to retain every modeled feature.

  2. Define the roof details

    Small upright details and low borders sit on the flat roofs. A larger print preserves these features, while a slicer layer height of 0.12–0.16 mm helps distinguish their edges from the roof surfaces.

  3. 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.

  4. Colors

    Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. Mystery Castle takes the building color.

  5. 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 Mystery Castle

Mystery Castle is a house in Phoenix, Arizona, among the foothills of South Mountain Park. Boyce Luther Gulley built it during the 1930s for his daughter, Mary Lou. After a tuberculosis diagnosis, he left Seattle for the Phoenix area and began using materials he could find or buy inexpensively. When he died in 1945, Mary Lou and her mother inherited the property and moved into it. Their story reached a wider audience through a Life magazine feature published on January 26, 1948.

The house has 18 rooms across three stories, including a chapel, a cantina, and a dungeon. Its construction brings together stone and adobe with automobile parts, old mine rails, and telephone poles. The Life feature pictured Mary Lou on the cantilevered staircase that leads to the roof and helped give the house its name. She and her mother began giving tours in 1948. Electricity and plumbing were added in 1992, and the property has received designation as a Phoenix Point of Pride.
