Our tour of Italy's architectural wonders stops in the north! After Rome and Florence, I am proud to present this spectacular medallion dedicated to the Duomo di Milano, the undisputed emblem of Italian Gothic art

As with previous models in the collection, the extraordinary complexity of this bas-relief was achieved by experimenting with Meshy AI. Artificial intelligence beautifully captured the dense forest of spires and the verticality of the facade, creating a truly breathtaking collectible piece

💡 Model Features

  • Subject: The majestic facade of Milan Cathedral, detailed with its portals, rose windows, and countless spires
  • Fairytale Atmosphere: Unlike previous models, this one features a beautiful background enriched with stylized clouds, flying birds, and shimmering stars, giving the piece a dreamy touch
  • Decorative Frame: The relief is enclosed by an elegant frame crafted with a fine geometric interweaving pattern, perfect for creating the illusion of an ancient engraved coin

⚙️ Recommended Print Settings

The Duomo is famous for its micro-details, so slicer configuration is crucial for this print to shine

  • Recommended Material: Dark grey PLA, Pewter, or Aged Silver (as used in the photos) best enhance the chiaroscuro and "medallion" effect. Alternatively, a White or PLA Marble is perfect for simulating the original Candoglia marble
  • Layer Height: 0.12 mm or a maximum of 0.16 mm. Gothic spires require minimal layer height to avoid losing definition during printing
  • Infill: 15% - 20%
  • Supports: None. The model has a completely flat back and, like a true bas-relief, prints easily without any supports
  • Orientation: Print face up, lying flat on the bed

Post-production tip: Due to the complex geometry and countless retractions among the dozens of spires, it is perfectly normal to encounter some stringing (the classic "cobwebs" also visible in some areas of the preview photo). Don't panic! Simply pass a lighter flame or a heat gun blast over them very quickly to make them disappear instantly, leaving your spires perfect

🎨 Usage Ideas

  • A splendid display piece for those who love Gothic architecture and the city of Milan
  • Perfect to transform into an elegant magnet (by inserting magnets on the back) or a decorative coaster by scaling it down
  • An original and refined gift
