10 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.
- Ribs and louvers on the roof
The shallow roof has a flat central band between rounded lobes, ribbed with standing seams and edged by louvered fins. Full detail keeps the fins; a larger print makes them easier to read.
- The F Street entrance
Six tall columns stand clear of the glass and carry a slatted trellis on Y-shaped struts. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep the slats apart and the columns straight.
- One piece with the ground
Capital One Arena 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. Capital One Arena 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 Capital One Arena
Capital One Arena is an indoor arena built for several sports, in Washington, D.C.'s Chinatown, part of the larger Penn Quarter neighborhood, on top of the Gallery Place station of the Washington Metro. It opened on December 2, 1997 as the MCI Center, took the Verizon Center name in 2006 when Verizon Communications bought MCI, and was renamed again in 2017 when the Capital One bank bought the naming rights. The Capitals of the NHL, the Wizards of the NBA and Georgetown University's men's basketball team play there; the Mystics used it from 1998 to 2018.
The teams came from USAir Arena in Landover, Maryland, a location that was awkward for residents of both Washington and Baltimore. Abe Pollin, owner of the Capitals and the Wizards, began weighing a move in December 1993. Business leaders in the city then brokered a deal with the District government for the Gallery Place site. Pollin ended up paying for the building himself, at a cost of $200 million, while the District covered the land, the site preparation and an expansion of the Metro station.
Inside, the seats were built vertically rather than out, which gives better views at the price of limited leg room in the upper rows. A $30 million renovation in 2019 and 2020 replaced the seating, improved the concourse and the dining options, and added a larger overhead video board and a SkyRing screen around the top of the bowl. July 2020 brought a William Hill sportsbook, the first brick-and-mortar bookmaker's shop in the District and the first inside a professional sports venue anywhere in the United States.
