About the Chrysler Building
Finished in 1930, the Chrysler Building briefly held the title of world's tallest building before the Empire State Building opened. Its stainless-steel crown of stacked sunburst arches makes it one of New York's most recognisable towers.
What the model includes
The setbacks of the lower tower, the main shaft, the corner ornaments, the terraced crown and the needle spire.
It is built from simple closed solids, so it slices cleanly and stands flat. In the download window you can set the height from 30 to 250 mm and add a base plate with the name in raised letters. The mesh has about 320 triangles, small enough to open in any slicer.
Print the Chrysler Building on its real terrain
Map data stores most buildings as a flat outline with a height, so the Chrysler Building would normally print as a plain block. In TerraPrinter, this model takes its place automatically. It is turned to match the outline in the map data and stands on the real elevation, with the streets, water and buildings around it.

Questions
Is the Chrysler Building 3D model free?
Yes. You can download the Chrysler Building as an STL or 3MF for free, without an account, and print it as many times as you like.
What size should I print the Chrysler Building?
At the default height of 120 mm it measures 23 × 23 × 120 mm. Pick any height from 30 to 250 mm before downloading. Thin parts like spires and antennas print better at 100 mm and up on a 0.4 mm nozzle.
Do I need supports?
No. The model stands flat on its base and prints upright without supports.
Can I print the Chrysler Building with the city around it?
Yes. "Print on its terrain" opens TerraPrinter with the area around the Chrysler Building selected. When you generate the model, this landmark replaces the plain block from the map data and stands on the real terrain with the surrounding streets and buildings.
