Make this print opens the generator on a 600 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.
- A wide palace massing
The palace prints as a broad, low block, so most of the model is wall and roof. A larger print size, or Full detail, gives the wall edges and roof line more definition.
- Layers on the roof plane
Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm and steady cooling keep wide flat surfaces clean, and slower printing helps the vertical edges stay crisp.
- One piece with the ground
The Akasaka Palace 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

About the Akasaka Palace
Akasaka Palace serves the government of Japan as a state guest house. It stands in Moto-Akasaka, Minato, Tokyo. It was finished in 1909 as the Crown Prince's Imperial Palace, and after a spell as an imperial detached palace it took up its present role in 1974. The government also keeps other state guesthouses, among them the Kyoto State Guest House.
Its main building, Neo-Baroque and Western in style, came from Katayama Tōkuma, an architect who had studied French architecture under Josiah Conder. It was constructed between 1899 and 1909 and is one of the largest buildings put up during the Meiji period. Its 15,000 square meters (160,000 sq ft) of interior space sit on a 117,000-square-meter (1,260,000 sq ft) site that also holds a smaller building in the Japanese style.
Several government offices used the palace after the Second World War, among them the National Diet Library, founded in 1948. In 1967 it was decided to renovate the former palace as a state guest house; Togo Murano led the renovation, which ran more than five years and was finished in 1974. The palace has housed state and official guests and hosted international conferences, and in 2009 the main building, its main gate and the garden with its fountain were designated a National Treasure of Japan.
