10 mm tall on a 160 mm print
Make this print opens the generator on a 600 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.
- Fine detail in a dense block
At the default print size the mosque is small within a dense city scene. Print friendly adapts narrow parts; a larger print and a 0.12–0.16 mm layer height hold fine edges.
- One piece with the ground
The Amr ibn al-As 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 Amr ibn al-As 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.
About the Amr ibn al-As Mosque
The Amr ibn al-As Mosque stands in Fustat, a neighborhood of Old Cairo, Egypt. It honors Amr ibn al-As, the Arab commander who led the conquest of Egypt; the mosque was founded around 642 CE at the center of Fustat, the new capital. Its original structure was Egypt's first mosque and one of Africa's earliest. Islamic teaching flourished there for 600 years, until the Al-Azhar Mosque of al-Muizz in Islamic Cairo supplanted it.
Repeated rebuilding has erased the original fabric. In 673 CE Maslama ibn Mukhallad al-Ansari, then governor, replaced the complex, put a minaret at each corner, and doubled its area; a later governor doubled it once more in 698. Caliph al-Mamun enlarged the mosque in the 9th century to 120 by 112 meters (394 by 367 ft). A fire ordered by the vizier Shawar destroyed Fustat and the mosque in 1169; Saladin rebuilt it in 1179. Mourad Bey built the minarets that remain.
The first mosque was a modest rectangle measuring 29 meters (95 ft) by 17 meters (56 ft). Columns of split palm trunks, stones and mud bricks supported a roof made from wood and palm leaves, and the floor was gravel. Some architraves survive along the southern wall, likely from the 827 rebuilding. The mosque is in active use, and visitors and tourists are welcome outside prayer times.
