4 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.
- Gallery railing on the tower
The square lantern tower has a thin railed gallery. Print friendly adapts the railing to the print scale; Full detail on a larger print keeps more of it, and slow printing helps the thin tower.
- Porch and stair rails
The keeper's house has a railed porch and steps. A layer height of 0.12–0.16 mm keeps these small parts crisp.
- One piece with the ground
The New Dorp Light 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 New Dorp Light 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 New Dorp Light
The New Dorp Lighthouse, no longer in service, stands in the New Dorp area of Staten Island in New York City. Congress approved money for it on August 31, 1852, and it was finished in 1856. It was built to be a rear range light for Swash Channel, a Lower New York Bay shipping route. Its builder, Richard Carlow, also built two New Jersey range lights of similar design, Chapel Hill and Point Comfort, around the same time.
Its first beacon used a second-order lens and showed a steady red light, 59 m (192 feet) over sea level. The color changed to white in 1891, a switch from oil to incandescent oil vapor followed in 1907, and a sixth-order lens arrived in 1939. The first keeper, John B. Fountain, lived in the keeper's house beneath the tower.
The lighthouse was boarded up and decommissioned in 1964. Left neglected and vandalized for a decade, it was auctioned in 1974 to a Staten Island resident, John Vokral, for $32,000, and he undertook extensive restoration work. It is a private residence and closed to the public. Its National Register listing came in 1973.
