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.

  1. Thin parts near the top

    Tall towers can have thin parts near the top. Print friendly adapts thin parts to the print scale; slow printing with cooling helps tall thin parts, and a 0.12–0.16 mm layer height keeps them crisp.

  2. One piece with the ground

    One Prudential Plaza is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.

  3. 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.

  4. Colors

    Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. One Prudential Plaza takes the building color.

  5. 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 One Prudential Plaza

Completed in 1955, One Prudential Plaza is a Chicago structure of 41 stories that used to be named the Prudential Building. It was built as the headquarters of Prudential's Mid-America company, and it was Chicago's first skyscraper since the Great Depression and the Second World War.

It was built over the Illinois Central Railroad on air rights, and it was the final building ever connected to the tunnel network of the Chicago Tunnel Company. On finishing, its roof was the highest in Chicago; the sole higher point was the statue of Ceres atop the Chicago Board of Trade. Its mast worked as a broadcast antenna for WGN-TV.

Naess & Murphy was the architect, a forerunner of the firm that became Murphy/Jahn Architects by way of C.F. Murphy & Associates. Two restaurants opened with the building; Stouffer's Top of the Rock, on the 41st floor, offered views of four states. In 1990 a second building was added to the plaza.
