About the Yoyogi National Gymnasium
Yoyogi National Stadium, a sports facility in Yoyogi Park in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan, is also called Yoyogi National Gymnasium. It has two halls. The First Gymnasium is renowned for its suspension roof design, and the Second Gymnasium is also called the Annex. Kenzō Tange began designing it in 1961 together with the engineer Yoshikatsu Tsuboi. Tange designed both gymnasiums, and they were built at the same time.
The complex was built for the 1964 Summer Olympics. Its construction bid was approved 20 months before the games began, and the work took 18 months. It opened on October 10, 1964. Swimming and diving took place in the First Gymnasium at those games, and basketball in the Second. The venue also hosted handball at the 2020 Summer Olympics.
The Olympic Stadium that Munich built for the 1972 Summer Games took its design inspiration from Yoyogi National Stadium. In 1987, Kenzō Tange received the Pritzker Architecture Prize, and the citation placed the stadium among the 20th century's most beautiful buildings. In 2021 Japan designated it an Important Cultural Property. The First Gymnasium holds 12,898 people, and the venue hosts basketball, handball, table tennis and concerts.

- Sweeping ribbed roof
- The roof is a thin, sweeping shell with fine ribs along its surface. Layers of 0.12–0.16 mm keep the ribs crisp, and Print friendly adapts them to the print scale.
- Long pointed roof ends
- The roof tapers to long, pointed ends. Print slowly with good cooling, and a larger print size makes the points sturdier.
- One piece with the ground
- The Yoyogi National Gymnasium 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 Yoyogi National Gymnasium 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.
