  1. Repeating facade grid

    The Broadway front is a tall, regular grid of columns and windows. Print friendly keeps the pattern readable at small sizes; Full detail and 0.12-0.16 mm layers keep it sharp on a larger print.

  2. One piece with the ground

    The Scholastic Building is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.

  3. 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.

  4. Colors

    Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The Scholastic Building takes the building color.

  5. 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 Scholastic Building

Headquarters of the Scholastic Corporation, the Scholastic Building has 12 stories and stands on Broadway, from Prince Street to Spring Street, in SoHo, Manhattan. It went up in 2001 as the first new construction within the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District, taking the place of a one-story garage dating from 1954.

The Italian architect Aldo Rossi designed it, and no other New York building of his was ever built. The idea began in his New York office, and Morris Adjmi, a disciple of his, completed and refined it. The design is meant to respect its neighbors and to honor the district's cast iron architecture.

Historian William Higgins is quoted on the building's two faces. The Broadway facade is columnar and built of steel, terra-cotta and stone; in his words it echoes the scale and classical character of its commercial neighbors. At the back, on Mercer Street, the facade takes its character from plain cast iron and weathered masonry. Its design and assembly followed a "kit of parts" approach, much as SoHo's cast-iron facades were ordered from catalogs in parts.
