40 m of Auckland Town Hall, 13 mm on your shelf
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.
- Slender clock tower
The clock tower narrows to a domed cap and a thin spire. Print friendly adapts the thinnest tip to the print scale; Full detail keeps it, which suits a larger print. Printing slowly helps the tip stay clean.
- Chimneys and columns
Small chimneys dot the roofs, and slim columns line the curved corner. A layer height of 0.12 to 0.16 mm and a bigger print size keep these small parts crisp.
- One piece with the ground
Auckland Town Hall 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
In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors

About Auckland Town Hall
In the Auckland CBD, on Queen Street, stands Auckland Town Hall, an Edwardian building known for administrative work like Council meetings and hearings, and for its Great Hall and separate Concert Chamber. Heritage New Zealand lists it as a Category I Historic Place, and the Auckland District Plan protects it as a Category A heritage site. Some residents compared the building to a wedge of cheese or a flat iron after it was finished.
Plans for an Auckland town hall go back to 1872, and in 1880 the site at Greys Avenue and Queen Street, on a corner, was chosen. A design competition held in 1908 was won by the Melbourne-based architects JJ & EJ Clark. Mayor Arthur Myers laid the foundation stone on February 24, 1909, and Lord Islington, Governor of New Zealand, opened the building on December 14, 1911. It cost £126,000 and is built of Oamaru limestone on a Melbourne bluestone base, with a 40 m clocktower. The five-story design is Italian Renaissance Revival, and it resembles Lambeth Town Hall in Brixton, London, built around the same time.
The Great Hall, with 1,673 seats, was modeled on the Gewandhaus in Leipzig and is considered to have some of the finest acoustics in the world. The Town Hall Organ dates from 1911 and is New Zealand's largest musical instrument. The interior was restored from 1994 to 1997 for NZ$33 million, partly because its unreinforced masonry fell short of earthquake standards.
