About Olympic Tower
Olympic Tower rises 620 ft over 51 stories on Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Its addresses are 641 Fifth Avenue for the residential units and 645 Fifth Avenue for the offices, and the building stretches between 51st and 52nd Streets. Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM) designed it in the International Style. The mixed-use building holds condominium apartments, offices and shops, and it takes its name from Olympic Airways. Aristotle Onassis, president of the airline, developed it between 1971 and 1974 together with Arlen Realty and Development Corporation.
It was the first skyscraper built under a special zoning district that aimed to promote retail and mixed uses along Fifth Avenue. The lowest two stories form a public atrium called Olympic Place, which links the 51st and 52nd Street sides. Offices fill the next 19 stories, and 230 condominium apartments occupy the top 30. Steel carries the lower stories and cast concrete the upper ones. The facade is clad in brown-tinted glass, with a black anodized aluminum curtain wall, and the glass facade was designed to reflect the nearby St. Patrick's Cathedral, which lies just south of the tower.
The only setbacks are on the north side, facing 52nd Street, where a 22-story "bustle" sits. When it was completed, it was the tallest building facing Fifth Avenue without a setback there. The project goes back to the late 1960s. Best & Co. wanted an office tower above its store at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 51st Street, and Morris Lapidus was first hired, though once the zoning district existed the plans were revised.

- Fine facade grid
- The tower's sides carry a fine grid of window lines. Print friendly adapts it to the print scale, while Full detail keeps every line on a larger print; layers of 0.12–0.16 mm keep it crisp.
- Tight gaps between neighbors
- Tall buildings stand close together around the tower. A larger print size keeps the narrow gaps between them open.
- One piece with the ground
- Olympic Tower 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. Olympic Tower 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.

Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.
How big can I print it?
Any print size from 40 mm across. Olympic Tower grows with the print: about 51 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
