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. Two slender spires

    The twin spires are the thinnest parts of the model. Print friendly adapts them to the print scale; Full detail keeps them on larger prints. Print slowly with good cooling.

  2. Pointed gables and pinnacles

    Small pointed shapes line the roof and front. A layer height of 0.12–0.16 mm and a bigger print size keep them sharp.

  3. One piece with the ground

    St. Patrick's Cathedral 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. Patrick's Cathedral 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. Patrick's Cathedral

St. Patrick's Cathedral, a Catholic church in Midtown Manhattan, is a parish church and the Archbishop of New York's seat. It takes up the block between Fifth and Madison Avenues and 50th and 51st Streets, across from Rockefeller Center. James Renwick Jr. designed it, and it is North America's largest Gothic Revival Catholic cathedral. Construction began in 1858 for the expanding Archdiocese of New York, and the cathedral was meant to take the place of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral.

In the early 1860s work paused, while the American Civil War was under way. Completion came in 1878, with the dedication on May 25, 1879, and the spires followed in 1888. A Lady chapel by Charles T. Mathews was built from 1901 to 1906. Consecration came on October 5, 1910, once all its debt was paid off. Marble clads the building, and several dozen stained glass windows light it. Its length is 332 feet (101 m), and it is widest at the transepts, at 174 feet (53 m).

Bronze doors on Fifth Avenue open into the cathedral between two towers. The spires on top rise 329.5 feet (100 m). Nineteen bells hang in the north tower, and two pipe organs stand inside. Renwick's main inspiration was the unfinished Cologne Cathedral, after three years in Europe looking for design influences. It is a designated New York City landmark, and the National Register of Historic Places lists it.
