About the New York City Police Museum
Founded in 1999 in Lower Manhattan, the New York City Police Museum tells the story of the city's police department, the NYPD, and what it has contributed. Remembering the September 11 attacks is among its chief themes, and it holds a broad range of NYPD history, including a Hall of Heroes bearing the name and badge of every officer who died on duty, beginning with David Martin in August 1861.
The museum reopened in January 2002 at a new site on Old Slip, nearer South Street Seaport, inside the former First Precinct Building. The partnership of Joseph Howland Hunt and Richard Howland Hunt designed it, and it went up in 1909-11. This landmarked Florentine Renaissance palazzo has bold rusticated facades and served as a model precinct house when new. Construction and renovation for the move cost over $4 million and grew the exhibition space by nearly 45%. Hurricane Sandy did substantial damage at 100 Old Slip in October 2012, and the museum later reopened in a temporary location at 45 Wall Street.

- Rusticated facade and windows
- The long facade is covered in arched windows, heavy rustication and a decorative cornice. Print friendly adapts these small details to the print scale; Full detail keeps them, which suits larger prints.
- Long hipped roof
- A low hipped roof with small dormers runs along the building. Printing at a bigger size, with a layer height of 0.12–0.16 mm, keeps the roof and facade lines crisp.
- One piece with the ground
- The New York City Police 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 New York City Police 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.
