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.

  1. A tall, slim bell tower

    The bell tower is slender and rises well above the roof to a sharp spire. Print friendly adapts the thin tip to your print scale; printing slowly and cooling well help the tall narrow tower.

  2. A small church in a dense city

    The church is small beside the taller buildings around it. A larger print size keeps its windows and roof details, and a layer height of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keeps the lines crisp.

  3. One piece with the ground

    St. John the Baptist Church is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.

  4. 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.

  5. Colors

    Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. St. John the Baptist Church takes the building color.

  6. 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 St. John the Baptist Church

In the Garment District of Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood, on West 30th Street, number 211, between Seventh Avenue and Eighth Avenue, stands St. John the Baptist Church, a Catholic parish church of the Archdiocese of New York. Behind it, the former Capuchin monastery at 210 West 31st Street faces Madison Square Garden and Penn Station. The parish dates from 1840, when it became the second in New York City to serve German Catholics.

The present stone church, in a French Gothic style, went up in 1871 and 1872 from designs by Napoleon LeBrun, who also designed several other Catholic churches in New York and the cathedral in Philadelphia. It measures 165 feet by 67 feet, and it first held 1,200 people; construction cost $175,000. It was dedicated on June 23, 1872.

The central bell tower came later. Fr. Frey built it from 1888 ahead of the church's Golden Jubilee in January 1891. It holds a carillon of five swinging bells from a St. Louis, Missouri foundry, J.G. Stuckstede & Brothers. After a complete renovation, it was rededicated on June 24, 1996, on its patron saint's feast day. A fire on January 10, 1997 destroyed the organ and choir gallery along with several statues and stained-glass windows, and the damage was later repaired.
