About the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, nicknamed the Rock Hall, combines a museum with a hall of fame. It stands in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, beside Lake Erie. The museum tells the story of rock music through the artists, producers, engineers and others who influenced it. The founder and chairman of Atlantic Records, Ahmet Ertegun, set up the foundation behind it in 1983, and Cleveland was picked as its permanent home in 1986 after a long search.
Cleveland's civic leaders pledged $65 million in public money toward construction, and the city argued that the disc jockey Alan Freed had coined the phrase "rock and roll" and championed the new genre. The chosen site was along East Ninth Street by Lake Erie. Architect I. M. Pei designed the building around a tower from which a glass pyramid projects. He first planned a tower of 61 m (200 feet), but the nearby Burke Lakefront Airport forced a reduction to 49 m (162 feet).
The design combines geometric forms and cantilevered spaces anchored by that tower, with Leslie E. Robertson Associates as structural engineers. The tower supports a glass "tent" of two triangles that reaches down to a 6,000 m² (65,000 sq ft) plaza, giving the building a main entry facade. The building has seven levels, and the museum's dedication took place on September 1, 1995.
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 | 15 mm | 1:3,750 |
| 200 mm | 19 mm | 1:3,000 |
| 256 mm | 24 mm | 1:2,344 |

- A fine glass-pyramid grid
- The sloping glass tent is drawn as a grid of thin triangular frames. Print friendly simplifies that grid at small sizes; a larger print or Full detail keeps more of it.
- Jutting wing and slim column
- Boxy wings project from the tower, and a round drum stands on a slim column. Print slowly with good cooling so these overhanging and slender parts hold their shape.
- One piece with the ground
- The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 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 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 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 this model
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is one of more than 2,300 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
Common questions
Is there a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 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. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame grows with the print: about 15 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
Is it free?
Yes. Generation runs in your browser, with no account and nothing behind a paywall.
