About One Vanderbilt
One Vanderbilt is a supertall skyscraper with 62 stories that stands where 42nd Street meets Vanderbilt Avenue, in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Kohn Pedersen Fox designed it for the developer SL Green Realty, and it opened in September 2020. The roof is 397 m (1,301 ft) above ground and the spire reaches 427 m (1,401 ft). Grand Central Terminal lies immediately to the east, and the facade and design were meant to harmonize with it.
The base has a wedge-shaped void, while the tower narrows as it climbs, finishing in several pavilions and a pinnacle. Glass panels make up most of the facade, and the spandrels between stories are terracotta. Steel and concrete form the superstructure, and some interior spaces are designed to reach 32 m (105 ft). Most of the building is office space, and the top floors hold the Summit One Vanderbilt observation deck.
Over the years 2001 to 2011, SL Green bought the site, and in 2012 it announced its plans. A groundbreaking ceremony took place in October 2016, and the tower was topped out on September 17, 2019, although the COVID-19 pandemic pushed back completion. It replaced five structures from the 20th-century Terminal City development near Grand Central. When it was completed, it ranked as the city's second-tallest office building, behind One World Trade Center.
How it prints
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.
| Print size | Landmark height | Scale |
|---|---|---|
| 160 mm default | 114 mm | 1:3,750 |
| 200 mm | 143 mm | 1:3,000 |
| 256 mm | 183 mm | 1:2,344 |

- A thin spire above the crown
- The top steps in as it rises and ends in a thin needle. Slow printing and layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep the spire crisp, and Print friendly adapts it to the print scale.
- A tower that narrows upward
- The tower is much slimmer near the top than at its base. A larger print size keeps the stepped pavilions and facade lines readable, which suits Full detail.
- One piece with the ground
- One Vanderbilt 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. One Vanderbilt 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.

Common questions
Is there a One Vanderbilt STL I can download?
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. One Vanderbilt grows with the print: about 114 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
