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. Angular concrete masses

    A Brutalist building has sharp angles and angular masses. A fine layer height of 0.12–0.16 mm keeps those edges crisp, and a larger print size keeps small features.

  2. One piece with the ground

    The National Gallery of Australia 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. The National Gallery of Australia 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 the National Gallery of Australia

Known earlier as the Australian National Gallery, the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) is the country's national art museum and one of its largest, holding more than 166,000 works. It is in Canberra (Australian Capital Territory), and the Australian Government established it in 1967. Prime Minister Harold Holt announced on November 1, 1967 that the government would build it.

In 1968 the competition for the design was won by Colin Madigan, of the firm Edwards Madigan Torzillo and Partners. Construction began in 1973, and Queen Elizabeth II officially opened the building in 1982. It cost $82 million. Its Brutalist style, from the late 20th century, shows angular masses with raw concrete surfaces, and it is surrounded by sculpture gardens of native Australian plants and trees.

The design is built on a triangular geometry, seen in the coffered ceiling grids of the principal floor and in the triangular stair towers and columns. The structure is mainly reinforced bush hammered concrete, and its floor space measures 23,000 m2. The plan spirals through a series of galleries for works of differing sizes.

About this model

The National Gallery of Australia is one of more than 5,500 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Each model is written as code from public descriptions, plans, photographs and aerial views used only as references; no image or third-party model is copied into it. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. Rights in the building itself, its name and any brands on it are not granted by Mini Skyline; clear them separately before you sell prints. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
