6 mm tall on a 160 mm print
Make this print opens the generator on a 650 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.
- A wide oval of stepped rows
Many fine stepped rows of stands circle the field. Print friendly adapts them to the print scale, while Full detail keeps every row, which suits a larger print or a fine nozzle.
- A low berm with tiny entrances
A grassy berm wraps the outside, with small entry details around the rim. A bigger print size shows them more clearly, and layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep the stepped rows crisp.
- One piece with the ground
The Yale Bowl 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 Yale Bowl 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 Yale Bowl
The Yale Bowl is a stadium for college football in New Haven, Connecticut, not far from the West Haven border. It lies west of the university's main campus, by roughly 1.5 miles (2.4 km). The Yale Bulldogs, an Ivy League team, play there. The Bowl opened in 1914 with 70,896 seats, and renovations have since reduced its capacity to 61,446. It was the inspiration for the Rose Bowl's design and name.
Construction started in August 1913, with soil dug out of the field area piled into a berm around the edge to shape an elliptical bowl. Charles A. Ferry designed it, and the facade partly echoes the campus's Neo-Gothic style, with acid applied to imitate aging. It was the country's first bowl-shaped stadium, and it inspired designs such as Michigan Stadium and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. In 1987 it was named a National Historic Landmark because of its place in football history.
The first game was played on November 21, 1914, and more than 68,000 spectators watched Harvard beat the Bulldogs 36–0. Ferry left out locker rooms for unknown reasons. The Smilow Field Center is where players change, before a 200-yard (185 m) walk to the field. The Bulldog Walk is a tradition in which fans cheer the team marching to the stadium, accompanied by the Yale Band. The New York Giants of the NFL also called the stadium home in 1973 and 1974.
