About Santa Maria delle Grazie

In Milan, in northern Italy, stands Santa Maria delle Grazie, a Dominican convent with its church, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Leonardo da Vinci's mural The Last Supper is in the convent's refectory. Francesco I Sforza, the Duke of Milan, ordered a Dominican convent and church built on the site of an earlier chapel to St Mary of the Graces. Its main architect, Guiniforte Solari, was responsible for the convent (the Gothic nave) and had it finished by 1469.

Work on the church dragged on for decades. Duke Ludovico Sforza chose to make it the burial site of the Sforza family, and he also rebuilt the cloister and apse; both were completed after 1490. Beatrice, his wife, was laid to rest in the church in 1497. The apse has been attributed to Donato Bramante, whose name is inscribed on a piece of marble in the vaults, delivered in 1494, though some doubt he had any hand in the church.

An Allied air raid struck the church and convent on the night of August 15, 1943. The refectory was largely destroyed, yet a few walls remained, including the one carrying The Last Supper, which had been protected with sandbags. A restoration that ran from 1978 to 1999 allowed Leonardo's original painting to emerge.

Dome with a tiny lantern
The round drum carries a dome topped by a small lantern and cross. Print friendly adapts the smallest parts to the print scale; Full detail keeps them on a larger print.
A ring of arched openings
Many narrow arches circle the drum, and tall arched windows line the nave. Layers of 0.12–0.16 mm keep them crisp, and a larger print size gives them more room.
One piece with the ground
Santa Maria delle Grazie 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. Santa Maria delle Grazie 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.
