About the Al Fateh Grand Mosque
The Al-Fateh Mosque, also called the Al-Fateh Islamic Center and the Al Fateh Grand Mosque, is a large mosque in Manama, Bahrain, beside the Al Fateh Highway in Juffair, a suburban neighborhood. It covers 6,500 square meters (70,000 sq ft) and can hold more than 7,000 worshippers at a time. Sheikh Isa Bin Salman Al Khalifa built it in 1987, and it was named in honor of Ahmed Al Fateh.
The dome weighs 54 tonnes (60 short tons) and is made entirely of fiberglass; it was the largest fiberglass dome in the world. The floors are Italian marble, the chandelier came from Austria, and the doors are teak from India. Kufic calligraphy runs throughout the mosque. In 2006 the mosque complex became home to the National Library of Bahrain. The library of the Ahmed Al-Fateh Islamic Center holds approximately 7,000 books, some 100 years old or more, among them the Global Arabic Encyclopedia and the Encyclopedia of Islamic Jurisprudence.

- Slender minarets and tips
- Two tall, thin minarets end in small domes. Print friendly adapts them to the print scale, while Full detail keeps them on larger prints or with a fine nozzle. Printing slowly with good cooling helps the tips.
- Smooth domes and arcades
- The large central dome, the small corner domes and the rows of arches are curved. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep them smooth, and a larger print size keeps more detail.
- One piece with the ground
- The Al Fateh Grand Mosque 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 Al Fateh Grand Mosque 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.
