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.
- Sharp wedge corner
Two long walls meet at a sharp point. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm help keep that corner crisp.
- Small windows and roof boxes
Rows of small windows and a few boxes on the roof sit on a low model. A larger print size gives them more room, or choose Full detail.
- One piece with the ground
The Noguchi Museum is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.

You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
About the Noguchi Museum
In Long Island City, a Queens neighborhood, the Noguchi Museum combines galleries with a sculpture garden, and its address is 32-37 Vernon Boulevard. The Japanese American sculptor Isamu Noguchi designed and created it, and it welcomed the public on a limited basis in 1985. The two-story museum and sculpture garden, measuring 2,200 m2 (24,000 sq ft), stands one block from Socrates Sculpture Park. It was meant to preserve and show his sculpture work, along with architectural models, drawings, and designs for the stage and for furniture.
Noguchi bought a photogravure plant and gas station across the street from the studio where he had lived and worked since 1961, and it became the museum. When it opened, it was the first museum in America founded by a living artist. Major renovations in 2004 let it stay open year-round, and during that work the museum operated from a temporary space in Sunnyside, Queens. Another stabilization project began in September 2008, and the museum has 12 galleries.
A 75-year-old Tree of Heaven, 18 m (60 ft) tall, was the centerpiece of the sculpture garden until March 26, 2008. Noguchi had spared the tree when he cleaned up the back lot, but by early 2008 it was found to be dying. An artists' collective, the Detroit Tree of Heaven Woodshop, was hired to turn the wood into benches, sculptures and other features.
