I have added an option for the top Spire of the Chrysler Building. It allows for internal lighting.
I simply used a small flashlight, but leave to you folks out there to come up with a good solution to lighting up the Spire.
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.

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.

Post-Printing
Other than a small bit of filing to make the 3 section version to fit there was nothing done other than edge clean up.
The author marked this model as their own original creation.
