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.

  1. A low building to print

    The cabaret model is low in the print, so its outline and roof edge carry the shape. Print it larger, or at 0.12–0.16 mm layers, to keep those edges clean.

  2. One piece with the ground

    Le Chat Noir is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.

  3. 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.

  4. Colors

    Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. Le Chat Noir takes the building color.

  5. 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 Le Chat Noir

Le Chat Noir belonged to bohemian Montmartre's nightlife in the 19th century. The impresario Rodolphe Salis opened it on November 18, 1881, and it shut in 1897, only a short time after Salis died. It is often described as the first modern cabaret, with guests seated at tables over drinks while a variety show played on a stage and a master of ceremonies introduced each act, chatting with well-known guests. Its interior was decorated in the Louis XIII style. Cabarets in St. Petersburg, Barcelona and London copied the idea.

For a while the place was both a salon for artists and a noisy music hall. Three and a half years after it opened, in June 1885, the cabaret moved to larger rooms at Rue Victor-Massé 12, the former home of Alfred Stevens, a Belgian painter, who at Salis's request remade it as a fashionable country inn with the architect Maurice Isabey. It also brought out a weekly magazine of the same name between 1882 and 1895, with literature, poetry, political satire, and news of the cabaret and Montmartre.

The cabaret is remembered for its shadow plays. A puppet theater went up there at the end of 1885, and the first shadow play came about in a peculiar way: Henri Rivière held a white napkin across the opening and moved a cardboard figure behind it as Jules Jouy sang. Rivière built a proper shadow theater there in 1887 around a screen 1.1 m by 1.4 m (44 in by 55 in), replacing the puppet stage; some of the figures were cut from zinc, and more than forty plays ran over eleven years. Regulars included Verlaine, Debussy, Satie and Toulouse-Lautrec.
