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.
- A slim lighthouse tower
Lighthouses are slender, so the tower is the part to watch. Print slowly with good cooling and a layer height of 0.12–0.16 mm; a larger print keeps small details at the top.
- One piece with the ground
The Point Atkinson Lighthouse 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 Point Atkinson Lighthouse 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 Point Atkinson Lighthouse
The lighthouse is on the Point Atkinson headland in West Vancouver, British Columbia. Arthur Finney of Nanaimo built the first lighthouse here in 1874, a wooden structure that included a keeper's house. It entered service only the following year, because the wrong light was initially sent from England. The beacon was first lit on March 17, 1875. From a height of 95 ft (29 m) over the water, it could be seen for 14 mi (23 km).
Canadian Pacific Steamships called for a fog alarm in 1889. It was housed in a separate building west of the lighthouse and made its sound with a steam-driven rotating drum. In 1902 a diaphone fog alarm took its place, with a slotted piston moving inside a slotted cylinder.
Dating from 1914, the present lighthouse sits on granite boulders that jut into Burrard Inlet. Its reinforced concrete structure was considered innovative in lighthouse design at the time. The lighthouse is automated, and hikers can reach it on the Valley Trail through Lighthouse Park.
About this model
The Point Atkinson Lighthouse is one of more than 5,500 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Each model is written as code from public descriptions, plans, photographs and aerial views used only as references; no image or third-party model is copied into it. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. Rights in the building itself, its name and any brands on it are not granted by Mini Skyline; clear them separately before you sell prints. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
