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.
- Rooftop skylights and chimneys
The roof carries rows of small skylight lanterns and chimneys. A larger print size keeps more of them, and Print friendly adapts the smallest to the print scale.
- Rows of small arched windows
Small arched windows run along the street front. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep them readable, and Full detail keeps every modeled feature.
- 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 National Portrait Gallery 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 National Portrait Gallery
The National Portrait Gallery is an art gallery in London. It holds portraits of British people who are historically important or famous. It opened in 1856 and was arguably the world's first national public gallery devoted to portraits. In 1896 it moved to St Martin's Place, which is just off Trafalgar Square, where it adjoins the National Gallery.
The sitters are chosen for their own significance, not the artist's. Photographs and caricatures sit alongside paintings, drawings and sculpture in the collection. The Chandos portrait is among its best-known images, and it is the best-known portrait of William Shakespeare, though it is uncertain whether it actually shows the playwright. Living people could be portrayed from 1969.
Philip Stanhope, 5th Earl Stanhope, first proposed the idea as an MP in 1846, and it was accepted in 1856 on his third attempt. Lord Ellesmere, one of the founder trustees, donated the Chandos portrait as the gallery's first portrait. The philanthropist William Henry Alexander donated £60,000, then another £20,000, and chose the architect, Ewan Christian. Shillitoe & Son constructed the buildings, which are faced in Portland stone. The Ondaatje Wing, designed by Edward Jones and Jeremy Dixon, opened in 2000 and has an immense two-story escalator up to the Tudor portraits.
