About the Church of the Holy Sepulchre
Dating from the fourth century, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre stands in the Christian Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City. It is also called the Church of the Resurrection, and it is described as the holiest site in Christianity and an important pilgrimage destination for Christians ever since its founding. A tradition from that era holds that the church encloses the place where Jesus was crucified, at Calvary or Golgotha, together with his empty tomb. The final four Stations of the Cross along the Via Dolorosa are inside the church.
Under Constantine the Great, the church and its rotunda went up in the fourth century, and its consecration followed on 13 September 335. In 1009 the Fatimid caliph al-Hakim ordered the church destroyed. Emperor Constantine IX Monomachos was later allowed to rebuild it, and that work was finished in 1048. After the crusaders captured it in 1099 it was modified further, departing significantly from the original structure. The Ottomans carried out several renovations, and a shrine from the 19th century, the Aedicule, now encloses the tomb itself.
The site operates under the Status Quo, an arrangement among religious communities that dates to 1757. Control of the church is shared among several Christian denominations, chiefly the Ethiopian Orthodox, Syriac, Coptic, Armenian Apostolic, Greek Orthodox and Roman Catholic communities. The Armenian, Greek Orthodox and Catholic Latin patriarchates of Jerusalem all have their seat in the building. Directly next door is the Church of the Redeemer, which reflects a Lutheran presence at the site.

- Ribbed domes and small cupola
- Two ribbed domes and a small cupola rise above the roofline. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm give the curves smoother steps, and slower printing helps the tiny cross on the smaller dome.
- Rows of tiny arched windows
- The walls and the small tower carry many little arched openings. At small sizes Print friendly adapts them to the print scale; Full detail keeps all of them on a larger print.
- One piece with the ground
- The Church of the Holy Sepulchre 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 Church of the Holy Sepulchre 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.
