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.
- Keep the porch details
The porches have slender posts and small projecting beam ends. Print friendly adapts these details at small scales; choose Full detail with a larger print to preserve every modeled feature.
- Define the stepped roofs
The flat roofs sit at several levels, with narrow raised edges and small rooftop blocks. Layers of 0.12–0.16 mm help keep these vertical steps crisp.
- One piece with the ground
The Painted Desert Inn 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 Painted Desert Inn 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.
About the Painted Desert Inn
Painted Desert Inn overlooks the Painted Desert from Petrified Forest National Park in eastern Arizona's Apache County. The complex stands near the original route of historic U.S. Route 66, off Interstate 40. Lyle E. Bennett, an architect for the National Park Service, and colleagues in the service's Branch of Plans and Design designed its main building and guest casitas in the Pueblo Revival style. Civilian Conservation Corps crews and artisans built the complex between 1937 and 1940. Part of the main building incorporates a remodeled inn from the 1920s, called the Stone Tree House for its architectural use of local petrified wood.
Mary Jane Colter revised the design after the war, and the Fred Harvey Company ran the inn as a Harvey House between 1947 and 1963, when it closed. Colter commissioned Hopi artist Fred Kabotie to paint murals showing Hopi life, including a salt-gathering journey across the Painted Desert. Public protests opposed a demolition proposal in the mid-1970s; the building reopened in 1976 for limited use as a Bicentennial Travel Center. Its architecture and use of New Deal construction funding brought National Historic Landmark designation in 1987. Rehabilitation between 2004 and 2006 was followed by its reopening as a museum.
