39 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.
- Two small front towers
The church is a low mass with two towers at one end, and the towers are the finest parts. Print friendly adapts them to the print scale; Full detail keeps them for larger prints.
- Dwarfed by neighboring towers
Much taller buildings crowd the church on every side. A larger print size keeps its roofline readable, and a layer height of 0.12–0.16 mm keeps the tower tops crisp.
- One piece with the ground
The St. Paul the Apostle Church 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. The St. Paul the Apostle Church 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 the St. Paul the Apostle Church
In Manhattan's Upper West Side, St. Paul the Apostle Church is a Catholic church and mother church to the Paulist Fathers, a community of Catholic priests described as the first of its kind in the United States. The parish was set up in 1858. Its first building, a plain brick structure on part of the same lot, soon proved too small for the congregation.
A Late Victorian Gothic Revival church replaced it, built from 1876 to 1884. Jeremiah O'Rourke produced the design, but when he died, six years into the work, George Deshon, a Paulist priest and military engineer trained at West Point, took charge and probably simplified it. Isaac Hecker, who founded the Paulists, may have contributed as well, with Florence's thirteenth-century church of Santa Croce as his model. Builders reused Tarrytown gray granite from the Croton Aqueduct, plus stone from other Manhattan structures.
Dedication took place on January 25, 1885, though the building was unfinished: its 114-foot (35 m) towers had not yet reached their eventual height. Ecclesiastical art is a hallmark of the church. Stanford White designed interior elements between 1887 and 1890, John LaFarge supplied later stained glass, and Bertram Goodhue is credited with the floor mosaics. The National Register of Historic Places listed the church in 1991, and New York City designated it a landmark in 2013.
