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.
- A mosque's dome and minaret
A mosque's dome and minaret are thin, detailed features. Print friendly adapts them to the print scale; use 0.12–0.16 mm layers and slow printing for the upper parts.
- One piece with the ground
The Aqsunqur 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 Aqsunqur 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 Aqsunqur Mosque
The Aqsunqur Mosque, also called the Blue Mosque or the Mosque of Ibrahim Agha, stands in Islamic Cairo, Egypt. It occupies the Tabbana Quarter in Darb al-Ahmar, between the Citadel of Cairo and Bab Zuweila. The mosque is also a funerary complex, holding the tombs of Aqsunqur himself, his sons, several children of the Mamluk sultan an-Nasir Muhammad, and its main restorer, Ibrahim Agha al-Mustahfizan.
Shams ad-Din Aqsunqur, an emir during the reign of Sultan al-Muzaffar Hajji, had the mosque completed in 1347. Aqsunqur was a former governor of Tripoli and a son-in-law of the earlier sultan an-Nasir Muhammad, and he supervised the whole project, even taking part in the building work. He built it around the mausoleum of Sultan al-Ashraf Kujuk, which had been built in 1341; fitting that tomb inside the mosque explains the irregular plan.
Between 1652 and 1654 the Ottoman general Ibrahim Agha al-Mustahfizan began a major renovation, restoring the roof and arcades and adding blue and green Iznik-style tiles brought from Constantinople and Damascus, which gave the mosque its Blue Mosque nickname. A large open courtyard is enclosed by four arcades, while a brick dome on four squinches covers the prayer hall. The minaret has three stories and ends in a bulb top on a pavilion of eight slender stone columns.
