85 m of the Saint-Jacques Cathedral, 24 mm on your shelf
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 tall, slender spire
A church spire is the most fragile part of a print. Print friendly adapts thin parts to the print scale; printing slowly with good cooling helps tall thin parts, and a 0.12–0.16 mm layer height keeps the tip crisp.
- One piece with the ground
The Saint-Jacques Cathedral 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 Saint-Jacques Cathedral 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 Saint-Jacques Cathedral
Saint-Jacques Cathedral (Cathédrale Saint-Jacques) served as Montreal's Roman Catholic cathedral from 1825 to 1852 and was named for St. James the Greater. It occupied the site where Saint-Denis and Sainte-Catherine streets meet, and the building was the first cathedral in the city designed for that purpose. Construction began in 1822, the cornerstone received its blessing on May 22, 1823, and consecration followed on September 22, 1825.
From 1825 to 1836 Quebec's auxiliary bishop in Montreal had his seat there. When the Roman Catholic Diocese of Montreal was created in 1836, it became the new diocese's cathedral. The fire of July 9, 1852, known as the Great Fire, destroyed it, together with the diocesan building and 1,200 other buildings. Architect John Ostell rebuilt it as a parish church for the Society of Saint-Sulpice, consecrated in 1857, but it burned down the next year.
Victor Bourgeau rebuilt it by 1860. The spire, 85 meters tall, dates from 1876, the golden weathervane from 1905 and the transept from 1889. It burned out again in 1933 and was quickly repaired by Paul Bellot. The Université du Québec à Montréal bought the building in 1973 and demolished it except for the spire and transept, which are classified as historic monuments and form part of the university's Pavillon Judith-Jasmin.
About this model
The Saint-Jacques Cathedral 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.
