Fallingwater by legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright is commonly regarded as his crowning jewel, as well as one of the most marvellous pieces of architecture in North America. This UNESCO world heritage sight was constructed in the 1930s for Edgar Kaufmann Sr., a Pittsburgh department store magnate. Its design integrates seamlessly with the natural surroundings, with the house seemingly emerging from the rocky terrain and overlooking a picturesque waterfall. Wright's innovative use of cantilevered terraces and bold horizontal lines creates a sense of harmony between the man-made structure and its environment. Fallingwater stands as a testament to Wright's genius and continues to inspire architects and admirers alike with its timeless beauty and ingenuity.
I printed this with the base at 220mm, however feel free to scale all of the parts up. I would NOT recommend scaling this model down by more than 25%, as the windows become nearly impossible to print. It can be done though, you might just have to remove the window spaghetti afterwards.
Use very thin tree supports, however leave all of the windows unsupported, and turn down bridging speed instead. I spot welded the pieces together afterward (reference model included), however it ended up burning some and creating a seam, so I would recommend sticking to glue. If you prefer to print the model smaller or in less pieces, you can always scale up the reference model and cut that yourself. Let me know if there are any questions.
