10 mm tall on a 160 mm print
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.
- The triumphal arch front
The facade is built around a triumphal arch. Print friendly adapts small openings like this to the print scale; at a larger print size the arch reads as a clear opening.
- Layers for the long roof
The train shed runs back from the front as a long, low roof. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep its ridge crisp, and a slower print helps the long edge stay straight.
- One piece with the ground
Gare du Nord 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. Gare du Nord 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 Gare du Nord
The Gare du Nord, or Paris-Nord in full, is among Europe's busiest railway stations and one of seven large mainline termini in Paris. Eurostar trains to and from London use it as their Paris terminal, and it also serves international destinations in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands, as well as northern France. It stands in the northern part of Paris, in the 10th arrondissement near the Gare de l'Est, and connects with the Métro, the RER and RATP buses.
The station building was built from May 1861 to a design by the architect Jacques Ignace Hittorff for the Chemin de Fer du Nord, and trains were already running from it in 1864, before the work was finished. It replaced an earlier, smaller terminal that had operated between 1846 and 1860, and part of the old station was later rebuilt as Lille-Flandres. A triumphal arch frames the facade, which is faced with many stone slabs, and the plan is the U-shape typical of a terminus.
Inside, the main support beam is cast iron, and the pillars came from an ironworks in Glasgow, since no other country had a foundry big enough for the job. On the main facade, allegorical sculptures represent the cities the company served: Paris by Pierre-Jules Cavelier at the top, surrounded by eight international destinations from Frankfurt and Amsterdam to London, Vienna, Berlin and Cologne.
