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 tall, thin cross
A tall, thin cross stands beside the chapel in the model. Print slowly with good cooling to keep the thin shape clean, and a larger print size helps it hold its form.
- Small bumps on the roof
Small round bumps sit in rows on top of the wedge-shaped block. Print friendly adapts small details like these to the print scale; Full detail keeps them on a larger print.
- 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
Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The Chapel of the Holy Cross takes the building color.
- File format
You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
About the Chapel of the Holy Cross
The Chapel of the Holy Cross, a Roman Catholic chapel built into Sedona's red rock buttes in Arizona's Coconino National Forest, dates from 1954 to 1956. Marguerite Brunswig Staude, a rancher and sculptor from the area, inspired and commissioned it. August K. Strotz of the firm Anshen & Allen designed it, with Richard Hein as the project architect. In 1932 the newly built Empire State Building had inspired Staude to build such a church, and the chapel honors her parents, Lucien and Marguerite Brunswig.
The chapel stands on Coconino National Forest land, and Senator Barry Goldwater helped Staude obtain a special-use permit. The architects began the design in 1953 and, after viewing the site, said that nature had done everything there and all they had to do was understate. The William Simpson Construction Company's Fred Coukos supervised the work, which took 18 months and cost $300,000. No dynamite was used, though upwards of 25 tons of rock had to be moved, and the chapel was finished in 1956.
Its main feature is an iron cross, 27.4 m (90 ft) tall, on its southwestern wall. The cross is both decorative and structural, and it holds the altar and Corpus inside. The walls and the cross are 0.3 m (1 foot) thick, built of reinforced coarse-aggregate concrete and sandblasted inside and out. Visitors walk up a long, curved ramp of textured concrete from the parking area. The chapel has room for up to 150 people and sits at the base of a 457.2 m (1,500 ft) cliff. In 2007, Arizonans placed it on their Seven Man-Made Wonders of Arizona list.
