11 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.
- A villa in open grounds
The palace is low next to the grounds that surround it, so the model needs size for the building to stand apart from the ground around it. A larger print and layers of 0.12–0.16 mm help the roofline stay crisp.
- One piece with the ground
The Palace of Castel Gandolfo 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 Palace of Castel Gandolfo 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 Palace of Castel Gandolfo
The Papal Palace of Castel Gandolfo, also called the Apostolic Palace of Castel Gandolfo, is a group of buildings set in gardens in the town of Castel Gandolfo, Italy. It covers 54.6 hectares (135 acres) and takes in a villa of the 17th century, an observatory, and a farmhouse whose farmland covers 30.4 hectares (75 acres), and it looks out over Lake Albano.
The Savelli family owed the Vatican money, and in 1596 the castle was handed over to settle the debt; it dated from the 13th century, and the gardens stand on ground where the Roman Emperor Domitian once had a residence. Pope Urban VIII commissioned the palace from Carlo Maderno and first used it in the spring of 1626. Roughly half of the popes after him have spent summers there, apart from the years between 1870 and 1929.
Under the 1929 Lateran Treaty, the palace and Villa Barberini next door are Italian territory owned by the Holy See, with extraterritorial status: Italian authorities may not enter without the Holy See's consent, and the property is exempt from Italian taxes. Pope Pius XI modernized the facilities and took up the retreat again in 1934. During the Second World War Jewish refugees sheltered at the palace, and both Pope Pius XII and Pope Paul VI died there.
