32 mm tall on a 160 mm print
Make this print opens the generator on a 650 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.
- A tall tower beside the dome
The square tower is far taller than the rest and carries fine grid details. Print slowly with good cooling, and use Print friendly to adapt the details to the print scale.
- Curved ramps on slim columns
Long curved ramps stand on rows of slim columns beside the church. Full detail keeps them on a larger print, ideally with 0.12–0.16 mm layers.
- 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.

- 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 Basilica of Our Lady of Aparecida
The Basilica of Our Lady of Aparecida stands in Aparecida, Brazil, and is both a prominent Catholic basilica and a cathedral. It is dedicated to Brazil's principal patroness, Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, known as Aparecida. The basilica is described as the world's largest cathedral and, by interior area and volume, the second largest Catholic church, behind St. Peter's Basilica, which is in Vatican City. The Archdiocese of Aparecida has its seat there.
The site traces its origins to a clay statue of the Virgin Mary, dark in color and small in size. Local tradition holds that three fishermen on the Paraíba River were trying to catch fish for a banquet during Pedro de Almeida's visit as governor of São Paulo in 1717, and one of them pulled up a headless statue. The statue was first kept at the home of fisherman Felipe Pedroso, whose family built a small chapel for it. A larger chapel replaced that in 1734, and a first basilica followed in 1834. In 1955, as pilgrim numbers kept growing, work began on the present building nearby.
Benedito Calixto Neto was the architect. The building is Romanesque Revival in style and laid out as a Greek cross. Its arms are 188 m (617 ft) long and 183 m (600 ft) wide, its dome is 70 m (230 ft) tall, while the tower rises to 109 m (358 ft). Inside, there is 25,000 m² (270,000 sq ft) of space. A 392 m walkway, the Passarela da Fé, connects the old church with the new basilica.
