About Centre Vidéotron

Centre Vidéotron stands in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, as an indoor arena with 18,259 seats. It took over from the old Colisée Pepsi as the city's main venue for indoor events and opened in 2015. Ice hockey is its chief use, and the Quebec Remparts of the QMJHL play their home games there. Construction was budgeted at $400 million and came in at $370 million, half of it paid by the city and the province. The name comes from Vidéotron, a cable company owned by Québecor, which holds the naming rights.

Populous architect Kurt Amundsen, the lead project designer, described the arena as a hockey-first design, with a bowl as steep and tight as possible, so that spectators seem to sit right above the ice. The upper seating bowl is angled so steeply that local building code requirements called for rails along every row. The arena occupies approximately 64,000 square meters of space, down from the 70,000 originally proposed.

Metallica played the first concert, on September 16 of the opening year, as part of its Lords of Summer Tour, and Madonna played to a sell-out crowd of more than 13,000 on September 21, 2015. At the Remparts' first game there, against the Rimouski Oceanic, 18,259 fans set a QMJHL attendance record.

Banded, curved walls
The walls swell in curved horizontal bands with a fine panel pattern. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm help keep the bands smooth; Print friendly adapts the fine panel lines to the print scale.
Lettering and rim studs
Lettering on the wall and small studs around the roof edge are tiny details. Print friendly adapts them to the print scale; Full detail keeps them, which suits a larger print.
One piece with the ground
Centre Vidéotron 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. Centre Vidéotron 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.

Common questions

Is there a Centre Vidéotron STL I can download?

Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.

How big can I print it?

Any print size from 40 mm across. Centre Vidéotron grows with the print: about 12 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
