About the The Corinthian
In Murray Hill, Manhattan, at 330 East 38th Street, rises The Corinthian, an apartment tower of 57 stories. Der Scutt was design architect, working with Michael Schimenti. With 863 residential units, it was the biggest apartment building in New York City at its 1988 opening. Clusters of fluted towers, set with semicircular windows, shape the tower, and every apartment gets a 180-degree view. Many have private balconies tucked between the fluted towers.
Before the tower, the block held the East Side Airlines Terminal, where passengers bought tickets, checked baggage and boarded buses to LaGuardia and JFK airports through the adjacent Queens–Midtown Tunnel. The developers first planned to demolish it, then found it so sturdy that they kept a large part for offices in the base and added columns to carry the tower above. The last 35 percent, along First Avenue, came down to make room for a landscaped plaza with a fountain and a porte-cochère.
Developer Bernard Spitzer said the name reflects a contemporary take on the Corinthian column. The fourth floor, once the roof of the old terminal, is the amenity level, with a health club, an indoor pool and a jogging track, and apartments start on the fifth floor.

- Clustered fluted shafts
- The tower is a cluster of slim vertical columns with uneven tops. Print friendly adapts these thin shapes to the print scale; Full detail keeps every one on larger prints.
- Tall, slender profile
- The shaft is tall for its footprint. Print slowly with good cooling, and use a layer height of 0.12–0.16 mm to keep the vertical grooves crisp.
- One piece with the ground
- The The Corinthian 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 Corinthian 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.

Is there a The Corinthian STL I can download?
Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.
How big can I print it?
Any print size from 40 mm across. The The Corinthian grows with the print: about 45 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
