About the Adelaide Entertainment Centre
The Adelaide Entertainment Centre is an indoor arena in the Adelaide suburb of Hindmarsh, on Port Road just north-west of the city center. It stages sporting and entertainment events and serves as the principal venue for shows, events and attractions with audiences of 1,000 to 11,300. The South Australian government set it up after Apollo Stadium, a 3,500-capacity venue that had been Adelaide's main indoor sports and entertainment site since 1969, came to be seen as too small. Toward the end of the 1980s, numerous international acts were skipping Adelaide on Australian tours, since the city lacked a suitable indoor space.
The arena was announced in late 1989 at a projected cost of AU$44 million, and building began in early 1990. Crews excavated 75,200 tonnes of earth and poured 36,480 tonnes of concrete, at that time the biggest single concrete pour in South Australia. The main arena floor measures 65.4 meters by 42.1 meters, with a roof about 20 meters above it and a clear span of 85 meters. Eight roof trusses weighing 216 tonnes in total, plus 980 tonnes of structural steel, went into the building. John Bannon, then Premier of South Australia, officially opened it on July 20, 1991.
Construction on a $52 million upgrade began in August 2007 after the renovation plans were approved, and the redevelopment finished in 2010, adding an entry building and a theater complex. The work also upgraded the foyer, the backstage area and the corporate facilities, added car parking, installed 8,000 new seats in the main arena and restored the heritage-listed Revelations Chapel so it can serve as a venue for weddings and functions. Besides music, the venue hosts the occasional netball match, and World Wrestling Entertainment has used it for the Adelaide leg of its Australian tours since 2004.

- A broad arched roof
- The roof is a wide, gently arched span, so layer lines can show on the curve. Layers of 0.12–0.16 mm help keep it smooth.
- Ribs along the walls
- Fine vertical ribs run along the arena walls and base. Print friendly adapts them to the print scale; Full detail and a larger print keep every rib.
- One piece with the ground
- The Adelaide Entertainment Centre 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 Adelaide Entertainment Centre 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.
