About the Walt Disney Concert Hall
Walt Disney Concert Hall, set downtown in Los Angeles, California, is the Los Angeles Music Center's fourth hall. Frank Gehry designed it, and it opened on October 23, 2003. It sits between Hope Street and Grand Avenue, and between 1st and 2nd streets, and it seats 2,265 people. It is home to the Los Angeles Master Chorale and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The seating plan blends vineyard-style and classical shoebox layouts.
In 1987 Lillian Disney, widow of Walt Disney, gave an initial $50 million toward a performance venue for the people of Los Angeles. Gehry delivered completed designs in 1991, and groundbreaking took place in December 1999. Work on the hall stalled from 1994 to 1996 for lack of fundraising, and to save money the planned stone exterior was swapped for a less costly stainless steel skin. Gehry used CATIA software, typically used for French fighter jets, to make the design buildable. On the north side, the box columns tilt forward at seventeen degrees.
Minoru Nagata designed the acoustics, with the final completion supervised by his assistant and protégé Yasuhisa Toyota, and both the architecture and the acoustics have been praised. Douglas-fir covers the hall's walls and ceiling, and oak finishes the floor. The finished project, in 2003, came to an estimated $274 million, including $110 million for the parking garage.
How it prints
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.
| Print size | Landmark height | Scale |
|---|---|---|
| 160 mm default | 12 mm | 1:3,750 |
| 200 mm | 15 mm | 1:3,000 |
| 256 mm | 19 mm | 1:2,344 |

- Sweeping curved panels
- The hall is made of overlapping curved panels that lean in different directions. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep the curved surfaces smooth, and a larger print size keeps their edges crisp.
- Thin, sail-like edges
- Some panels end in thin edges that rise above the roofline. Print friendly adapts these thin parts to the print scale, while Full detail keeps every edge on a larger print.
- One piece with the ground
- The Walt Disney Concert Hall 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 Walt Disney Concert Hall 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 this model
The Walt Disney Concert Hall is one of more than 2,300 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
Common questions
Is there a Walt Disney Concert Hall STL I can download?
Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.
How big can I print it?
Any print size from 40 mm across. The Walt Disney Concert Hall grows with the print: about 12 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
Is it free?
Yes. Generation runs in your browser, with no account and nothing behind a paywall.
