The main façade of the Vienna City Hall, in collaboration with ZODIAC, is a milestone of MiniWorld3D. Breaking all boundaries, it was conceived to push you and your printer to the limit! Simply put, our most detailed & largest model to date.

The Vienna City Hall (German: Wiener Rathaus) is the seat of local government of Vienna, located on Rathausplatz. Constructed from 1872 to 1883 in a Neo-Gothic style according to plans designed by Friedrich von Schmidt, it houses the office of the Mayor of Vienna as well as the chambers of the city council and Vienna Landtag diet.

The design of the richly adorned façade is modeled after the Gothic architecture of Belgian government buildings like the Brussels Town Hall. It features five towers including the central tower, which has a height of 98 m (322 ft). On 21 October 1882, the Rathausmann statue was installed on the top, which soon became one of the symbols of Vienna (from Wikipedia).

The real building has an enormous area, with a floor plan shaped like a square spanning a whole large block, with several inner courtyards. This model depicts just the main façade, one of the sides of the large block, facing the Rathausplatz & Rathauspark.

This model was created by Dany Sánchez  in collaboration with ZODIAC as a torture and quality test. If you have a ZODIAC nozzle, can you pass this test? If you don't, try comparing results with and without one.

MiniWorld3D is excited to bring this model to life as a homage to all the people of Vienna. This model was created from scratch by hand and brain in parametric software to ensure printability, using photographs and blueprints to create a beautiful and stylized version of your favorite landmarks. Please give credit, it's all about spreading culture!

Printing Tips

The modular design is meant to be printed very large, the photos show a 300% print, so all the minute details show up perfectly with a standard 0.4 mm nozzle.

1. NO SUPPORTS. Proven to print all small details with a 0.4 mm nozzle if scaled 300%.
    
2. To print as a single part, you must add and arrange all parts manually in your slicer and hit slice with all at once in place. In Cura, you must mirror the corner and its roof, and override the z floor for the roofs and towers.
    
3. Optimized to save print time and material.
    
4. Minimal post processing with a knife, heat gun, or sandpaper may be needed to remove typical print artifacts, stringing, and ensure a correct fit. Tolerances have been exaggerated to avoid problems. 
    
5. Speed: 20 mm/s outer perimeter
    
6. Infill: 12% with 2 steps (3% for most of the volume, then doubled twice as it nears flat top surfaces)
    
7. Print time at 300% scale & 0.2 mm: Large parts take ~24 hrs, the tower parts about 3. Roofs between 2-5 hrs, these can be printed at 0.3 mm.
