9 mm tall on a 160 mm print
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.
- Detail on a broad facade
The model is a broad block with flat roofs and long rows of windows rather than a tower. A 0.12–0.16 mm layer height keeps those window rows crisp, and a larger print gives the courtyard edges room.
- One piece with the ground
Scotland Yard 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. Scotland Yard 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 Scotland Yard
Scotland Yard is the common name of New Scotland Yard, where the Metropolitan Police has its headquarters in London. The force polices Greater London's 32 boroughs, plus several other authorities across the United Kingdom. The name comes from 4 Whitehall Place, the first headquarters, whose public entrance opened onto a Westminster street called Great Scotland Yard; from there it spread to the building itself, then to the force and its detectives. In 1964, The New York Times observed that Scotland Yard had come to mean police work in London, much as Wall Street stood for New York's financial district.
Parliament passed the Metropolitan Police Act in 1829, and Robert Peel formed the force under it. In the 1880s, short of room, the force moved to a building by the architect Richard Norman Shaw on the Victoria Embankment beside the Thames; police headquarters moved there in 1890, when the force numbered about 13,000, up from the 1,000 it began with. Buildings completed in 1906 and 1940 made a three-building complex, and the first two are now the Grade I listed Norman Shaw Buildings. In 1967 headquarters shifted to 8–10 Broadway, and staff went back in 2016 to the Curtis Green Building.
The building also holds the Met's Crime Museum, formerly the Black Museum, a collection of criminal memorabilia founded in 1874 that is not open to the public. Fiction made the name familiar: Scotland Yard appears in the Sherlock Holmes stories and in the Jack the Ripper inquiries, and Wilkie Collins's 1868 novel The Moonstone — a Scotland Yard detective, a stolen diamond — has been called perhaps the first clear police procedural.
About this model
Scotland Yard is one of more than 4,400 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.
