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.
- Tall walls in a small print
At the default size the church is a small block, and its wall faces and roof edge carry most of the detail. Print it larger, with layers of 0.12–0.16 mm, so those edges stay sharp.
- One piece with the ground
The Church of the Gesù 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
Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The Church of the Gesù 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 Church of the Gesù
The Church of the Gesù, whose official Italian name is Chiesa del Santissimo Nome di Gesù, sits on Piazza del Gesù in Rome's Pigna district. For the Society of Jesus, the order better known as the Jesuits, it is the mother church. Its facade has been described as the first truly baroque one, and the design became a template for Jesuit churches around the world, above all in Central Europe and in the Portuguese colonies.
The church was first conceived in 1551 by Ignatius of Loyola, the Spaniard who founded the Society of Jesus. It was paid for by Alessandro Farnese, the cardinal and grandson of Paul III. The main architects were Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola and Giacomo della Porta. Building began on June 26, 1568 to Vignola's design; della Porta worked on the cross-vault, dome and apse, and reworked the facade. Cardinal Giulio Antonio Santorio consecrated the church on November 25, 1584.
Inside there are no aisles and no narthex: a single nave leads straight to the high altar, with a dome over the crossing, a plan that keeps the congregation's attention on the altar. The ceiling carries the Triumph of the Name of Jesus, a fresco of 1678–1679 by Giovanni Battista Gaulli. The Gesù was the home of the Jesuit Superior General until the order was widely suppressed in 1773, and the palazzo next door houses Jesuit scholars studying at the Gregorian University.
