About Vaux-le-Vicomte
Vaux-le-Vicomte is a château in the Baroque style, about 55 km (34 mi) from Paris, to the southeast, in Maincy near Melun. It lies in Seine-et-Marne, a department of Île-de-France. Nicolas Fouquet, Louis XIV's Superintendent of Finances, had it built between 1658 and 1661, and it was an influential building in Europe in the mid-17th century. Fouquet bought and demolished three villages to secure the grounds, and the project reportedly gave work to 18,000 people and cost up to 16 million livres.
Three artists joined forces here for the first time on a project of this scale: Louis Le Vau designed the building, André Le Nôtre laid out the gardens and Charles Le Brun handled the painted decoration. This teamwork launched the Louis XIV style, which merged architecture, interior design and landscaping, and the strong visual axis of the garden is one example of it.
The inauguration included a play by Molière, a dinner organized by François Vatel and a firework show. Shortly after a celebrated fête on August 17, 1661, at which Molière's Les Fâcheux premiered, the king ordered Fouquet's arrest. The king then sent the same team of artists to design the much larger palace and gardens of Versailles. The property opened for public tours in 1968.

- Dome with a slim lantern
- A central dome carries a slim lantern topped by a thin spire. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep it crisp, and printing slowly helps the narrow tip.
- Steep roofs and dormers
- Steep roofs, tiny dormers and chimneys fill the roofline. Print friendly adapts these details to the print scale; Full detail keeps them, which suits a larger print or a fine nozzle.
- One piece with the ground
- Vaux-le-Vicomte 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

- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
