About the Empire State Building
The Empire State Building went up in about 13 months and opened in 1931. It was the tallest building in the world until 1970 and is still one of the defining Art Deco skyscrapers of Manhattan.
What the model includes
The base block and its setbacks, the main shaft with its piers, the upper setbacks, the mooring mast and the antenna.
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 252 triangles, small enough to open in any slicer.
Print the Empire State Building on its real terrain
Map data stores most buildings as a flat outline with a height, so the Empire State 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 Empire State Building 3D model free?
Yes. You can download the Empire State 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 Empire State Building?
At the default height of 120 mm it measures 35 × 15 × 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 Empire State Building with the city around it?
Yes. "Print on its terrain" opens TerraPrinter with the area around the Empire State 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.
