26 m of Sandy Hook Light, 9 mm on your shelf
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 tall, slim tower
The tower is a slim, tapering shaft with a small lantern and gallery on top. Print slowly with cooling for the upper part, and use 0.12-0.16 mm layers to keep the lantern crisp.
- Small lantern details
The railing and lantern are the finest parts. Print friendly adapts them at small sizes, while Full detail on a larger print keeps more of their shape.
- One piece with the ground
Sandy Hook Light 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. Sandy Hook Light 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 Sandy Hook Light
Sandy Hook Light, in New Jersey, is counted as the oldest lighthouse still working in the United States. Isaac Conro designed and built it in 1764. It stands roughly 2.4 km (one and a half statute miles) inland from the tip, but when it was new the tip lay only 500 feet (150 m) away. Littoral drift added land over the years and caused the change.
The light guided ships into the southern end of New York Harbor. It was first called the New York Lighthouse, because a lottery of the New York Assembly and a levy on every ship entering the Port of New York paid for it. In the Revolutionary War it survived Benjamin Tupper's attempt to destroy it as a help to British navigation, and was later occupied by soldiers of Britain. Almost two years after New York ratified the national Constitution, it passed to federal authority.
In 1964 it was named a National Historic Landmark, and on October 15, 1966, the National Register of Historic Places added it, recognizing its importance to commerce and transportation. The tower stands on the grounds of Fort Hancock and belongs to the Gateway National Recreation Area, in its Sandy Hook Unit, under the National Park Service. A 25 cent stamp showing the lighthouse came from the U.S. Postal Service in 1990.
