147 m of the The Alloy Block, 40 mm on your shelf
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.
- A tall, slender tower
The tower is the tallest and thinnest shape in this scene, with a triangular top. Print slowly near the top layers, and use 0.12–0.16 mm layers so the stepped edges stay crisp.
- Fine vertical fins
Its sides are covered in narrow vertical ribs. Print friendly adapts these thin lines to the print scale; Full detail keeps every rib and suits a larger print.
- One piece with the ground
The The Alloy Block 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 The Alloy Block 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 The Alloy Block
The Alloy Block is a mixed-use project by Alloy Development, in the Boerum Hill part of Brooklyn near Downtown Brooklyn. Its first building is at 505 State Street, 147 m (482 ft) high, with 441 residential units above a retail base. The development sits on a triangular plot, and a former Civil War infirmary is among the buildings there.
Alloy proposed the project in the late 2010s as a complex of two towers with homes and offices. The first tower was to be 38 stories and hold two elementary schools, while the second was to reach 280 m (920 ft). Without rezoning, Alloy could still have built one tower that would top the Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower, which stands across Flatbush Avenue and is over 150 m (500 ft) tall.
Neighbors worried about shadows over Boerum Hill and Prospect Heights, while housing advocates urged approval. After heights were reduced for both towers, a New York City Council subcommittee approved the project in September 2018, and the full council approved it afterward. The pandemic delayed construction in the early 2020s, plans no longer included office space, and 505 State Street topped out during 2023.
About this model
The The Alloy Block is one of more than 4,300 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.
