The Villa Capra, also known as "La Rotunda", was designed by the Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio and sits on a hill-top near Vicenza in Italy. The main structure is square, but Palladio decided to build a large loggia at each side to take advantage of the beautiful views in all directions.

The model in the photograph was printed on my Makerbot Replicator+, using a Smart Extruder+ with raft, 10% infill and a layer height of 0.1mm. However, it will also work at the default layer height of 0.2mm. No supports are necessary. The parts are designed to fit together with slots and pegs for correct positioning. A few drops of superglue will fix them permanently in place.

You will need to print one copy of the Main Walls and the Main Roof, and four copies each of the Portico and Portico Roof.
