Chrysler Buliding - Detailed by Dr_Skycat

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

I have posted this under the name Skycat17. For unknown reasons I can no longer get into that account. So this designs is exactly the same for now, but may be updated in the future.
The files under Skycat17 (this one and "360° Universal Head with Tripod and Phone Holder") are still available for download on Thingiverse. But I have no access to even see how many have downloaded or responded.
Here is yet another Chrysler Building.
The original source for my model was from the 1980 Paper Model created by Alan Rose. You can find the original book on line.https://www.amazon.com/Build-Your-Own-Chrysler-Building/dp/0399505059https://www.amazon.com/Build-Your-Own-Chrysler-Building/dp/0399505059

I have supplied stl files for one single model and 3 stl files for printing in 3 sections to achieve a larger model.
The 3 sections should easily connect together with a bit of filing. After assembling you could apply a few drops of crazy glue to prevent the sections from coming apart when you lift or move it.
I have printed these Chrysler Buildings in different sizes on a Prusa MK3S, Prusa Mini, and an Ender 3. All 3 printers gave good results at .2mm layer height with 15% infill, but you can try different combinations.
The photos of the stl files show the building and parts in a sideways orientation. All the stl files should be oriented vertical in your slicer.
