About the Palacio de Cibeles
Palacio de Cibeles, formerly the Palacio de Comunicaciones, is a pair of white-fronted buildings on the Plaza de Cibeles in Madrid, Spain, in the Los Jerónimos neighborhood of the Retiro district. It sits on roughly 30,000 m2 that used to be gardens of the Buen Retiro, and the choice of site stirred some controversy at the time for taking recreational space away from the city. It was built to serve as the main post office and as the headquarters for telegraph and telephone services.
Work began with a first stone in 1907, and the palace officially opened on March 14, 1919, after twelve years marked by delays and disputes. The architects Antonio Palacios and Joaquín Otamendi, both young and Spanish, designed it through a municipal competition, and the sculptor Ángel García Díaz produced the decoration for the facade and interior. In 2007, offices of the City of Madrid's municipal departments began to move in, alongside a cultural area called CentroCentro.
The palace is regarded as one of the earliest and most representative examples of Modernismo in central Madrid, with a Neoplateresque facade and Baroque Salamanca evocations. One of its design goals was a building for the public. In 1993 it received Bien de Interés Cultural status, in the monument category.

- Tower and corner turrets
- A central tower and small corner turrets rise above the roofline. Print friendly adapts their thin tops to the print scale, while Full detail keeps them on larger prints. Printing slowly helps the tower.
- Fine lattice over the courtyard
- The courtyard roof is drawn as a fine lattice. Full detail keeps it on larger prints or with a fine nozzle, and layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep the thin lines crisp.
- One piece with the ground
- The Palacio de Cibeles 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 Palacio de Cibeles 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.
