About 9/11 Memorial & Museum
The 9/11 Memorial & Museum, formally the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, is a New York City memorial and museum within the World Trade Center complex. It was created to remember the attacks of September 11, 2001, and the World Trade Center bombing of February 26, 1993. The memorial stands where the Twin Towers once did, and a non-profit institution runs it.
The design was chosen through a competition that the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation launched in 2003. The winning entry, Reflecting Absence, was chosen on January 6, 2004. Michael Arad of Handel Architects created it together with the landscape architects Peter Walker and Partners. Two large recessed pools mark the footprints of the towers, set in a field of swamp white oak trees, and the names of the victims are inscribed on the parapets around the waterfalls.
Heavy construction began in August 2006. In 2007 the foundation behind the project took on the name National September 11 Memorial & Museum. A dedication ceremony marked the tenth anniversary of the attacks on September 11, 2011, and the memorial opened to the public the next day. The museum itself was dedicated on May 15, 2014, and opened six days 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 | 6 mm | 1:3,750 |
| 200 mm | 8 mm | 1:3,000 |
| 256 mm | 10 mm | 1:2,344 |

- Angled walls and a fine grid
- The building has leaning, faceted walls with a fine diagonal pattern. Print friendly adapts that small detail to the print scale, and layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep the sloped edges clean.
- Slender towers in the frame
- Tall neighboring towers rise close beside the building. A larger print size keeps the building readable next to them, and slow printing with good cooling helps the tall thin parts.
- One piece with the ground
- 9/11 Memorial & 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. 9/11 Memorial & 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.

Common questions
Is there a 9/11 Memorial & Museum STL I can download?

How big can I print it?
Any print size from 40 mm across. 9/11 Memorial & 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.
