About the The Sherry-Netherland
At 781 Fifth Avenue, where it meets East 59th Street, stands the Sherry-Netherland, a 38-story apartment hotel in Manhattan's Upper East Side. The architects were Schultze & Weaver, working with Buchman & Kahn. When it opened, no other apartment hotel in New York City was taller, at 170.7 m (560 ft). Created in 1981, the Upper East Side Historic District includes it.
William Hume designed the Hotel New Netherland for William Waldorf Astor, and it had occupied the site since the early 1890s; the replacement was to use the same footprint and Fifth Avenue frontage. Demolition began in early winter 1926. Burning wooden scaffolding set off a spectacular fire in the upper floors on April 12, 1927, while the building was still unfinished. It burned for 12 hours, and people said the flames could be seen from Long Island. The press debated whether available technology could extinguish fires in tall buildings.
The Neo-Romanesque and Neo-Gothic roofline, with its gargoyles, hides the water tower. In the groin-vaulted lobby, carved limestone panels by Karl Bitter and ornamental frieze roundels were installed from the Vanderbilt mansion, which stood diagonally across Fifth Avenue and was being demolished at the time. The apartments became co-ops in 1954.
How it prints
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.

- Ornate crown and slim spire
- The top is a cluster of small gables, pinnacles and a thin spire. Print friendly adapts these to the print scale; Full detail at a larger size keeps them. Slow, cooled printing and 0.12-0.16 mm layers help the spire.
- One piece with the ground
- The The Sherry-Netherland 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 Sherry-Netherland 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.

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 Sherry-Netherland grows with the print: about 46 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
