About the Musée d'Orsay

The Musée d'Orsay is a museum on the Seine's Left Bank in Paris, France. The building was originally the Gare d'Orsay, a railway station in the Beaux-Arts style, constructed between 1898 and 1900 where the Palais d'Orsay had stood. Three architects designed it: Lucien Magne, Victor Laloux and Émile Bénard. It was ready for the 1900 Exposition Universelle.

Most of what the museum holds is French art made between 1848 and 1914: paintings, sculptures, furniture and photography. Its Impressionist and post-Impressionist masterpieces form the largest such collection in the world, with works by Monet, Manet, Degas, Renoir, Cézanne, Seurat, Gauguin and van Gogh, among others. It also counts among the largest art museums in Europe.

The station was cleared for demolition in 1970, but the Minister for Cultural Affairs, Jacques Duhamel, rejected plans to put a new hotel there, and the station was finally listed in 1978. A competition that year to design a museum was won by ACT Architecture, three young architects working as a team. Gae Aulenti, an Italian architect, was chosen in 1981 to design the interior. President François Mitterrand officially opened the museum in December 1986.

How it prints

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.

Fine ribs on the vaulted roof
The long curved roof is crossed by many thin ribs. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep them crisp; Print friendly adapts them to the print scale, while Full detail keeps every rib on a larger print.
Arched windows and round dials
A row of tall arched windows and a round dial at each end mark the river-facing front. A bigger print size keeps these small openings readable.
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 Musée d'Orsay 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.

Is there a Musée d'Orsay STL I can download?

Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.

How big can I print it?

Any print size from 40 mm across. The Musée d'Orsay grows with the print: about 10 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
