18 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.
- Twin towers with domed tops
Both towers rise well above the nave and end in small domed tops with arched openings. Print slowly with good cooling, and use layers of 0.12–0.16 mm so the tops stay crisp.
- Arched windows and doorways
Narrow arched windows and recessed doorways cover the walls. Print friendly adapts these small details to the print scale; Full detail keeps them, which suits a larger print or a fine nozzle.
- One piece with the ground
The Grossmünster 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 Grossmünster 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 Grossmünster
In Zürich, the Grossmünster stands near the banks of the Limmat as a Swiss Reformed church built in the Romanesque style. It ranks among the four major churches of the city, along with the Fraumünster, the Predigerkirche and St. Peterskirche. It occupies the spot of an earlier Carolingian church, which legend credits to a commission from Charlemagne. Work on the present structure began about 1100, and it was inaugurated about 1220.
The building is made of Bollinger Sandstein. Its twin towers are regarded as perhaps Zürich's most recognized landmark. They first went up between 1487 and 1492 with high wooden steeples, which fire destroyed in 1763; the present neo-Gothic tops, completed in 1787, came afterward. The church has modern stained-glass windows from 1932 by the Swiss artist Augusto Giacometti, and bronze doors by Otto Münch, added in 1935 and 1950. Richard Wagner is known to have ridiculed the building as resembling two pepper dispensers.
Huldrych Zwingli launched the Swiss-German Reformation in 1520, working from his pastoral post at the Grossmünster. The plain interior of the church results from the reforms he began and his successor, Heinrich Bullinger, continued. In 1524 the reformers took out the organ and the religious statuary. A Reformation museum occupies the cloister, which dates from the late 12th century, and the cloister's annex is home to the University of Zurich's theological school.
