3 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.
- Twin-peaked roof and parapet
The roof has two long peaks behind a stepped parapet. A layer height of 0.12–0.16 mm keeps the roof lines and parapet notches crisp on this low, wide model.
- Tiny vents and fixtures
Small vents and a roof cap dot the building. "Print friendly" adapts these to the print scale; "Full detail" keeps each one, which suits a larger print.
- One piece with the ground
The Sun Mercantile Building 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 Sun Mercantile Building 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 Sun Mercantile Building
The Sun Mercantile Building, nicknamed "Sun Merc", is a warehouse in Phoenix, Arizona. E.W. Bacon designed it, and Wells & Son built it in 1929. National Register of Historic Places listing came in 1985, and since 1987 the city has protected it as a local landmark. Its style is Chicago School. It is the last building left from the city's "second Chinatown" period, which ran from about 1890 to about 1960.
In the mid-2000s, a proposal emerged for a $200 million tower of luxury hotel rooms and condominiums that would have stood partly on top of the warehouse, with its roof removed and only the base preserved. Preservationists and members of the city's Asian-American community objected, but the city council went ahead. A lawsuit followed, and a judge decided in autumn 2007 that the council had held improper talks with the developer, Sarver, before settling the warehouse's fate. The project was effectively dead.
