12 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.
- Five domes with small crowns
Five rounded domes carry small crowns and crosses. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep their curves smooth, and printing slowly helps the tiny tips at the top.
- Pinnacles on the west front
The west front has a row of arches topped with pointed pinnacles. A larger print size keeps them, and Print friendly adapts the thinnest ones to the print scale.
- One piece with the ground
St Mark's Basilica 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. St Mark's Basilica 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 St Mark's Basilica
St Mark's Basilica serves as the cathedral church for the Patriarchate of Venice. In 1807 it became the seat of the Patriarch of Venice, taking over from San Pietro di Castello, the cathedral that came before. It is dedicated to Saint Mark the Evangelist, the city's patron saint, and houses his relics. At the east end of Saint Mark's Square, it is joined to the Doge's Palace.
The present building is the third church on the site. Work probably began in 1063, as an expression of Venice's growing civic pride and consciousness. As with the two earlier churches, the model was Constantinople's Church of the Holy Apostles, a sixth-century building. Evident influences include Middle-Byzantine, Romanesque and Islamic styles, and Gothic elements came later. The consecration on October 8, 1094 is considered the dedication of the church.
Precious stones and rare marbles were added to the brick façades and interior walls over time, mainly in the thirteenth century. Many columns, reliefs and sculptures came from Constantinople as spoils after Venice took part in the Fourth Crusade, and four ancient bronze horses were placed over the entry. Gold-ground mosaics were slowly applied across the domes, vaults and upper walls; many were later retouched or remade, so they show styles from eight hundred years of art.
