About the Esztergom Basilica
The Esztergom Basilica stands on Castle Hill in Esztergom, Hungary, and carries a dedication to Saint Adalbert and to the Assumption of Saint Mary. It serves as mother church to the Archdiocese of Esztergom-Budapest, and Hungary's Catholic Church has its seat here. It is Hungary's largest church, with an inner area of 5,600 m2. Its semi-spherical dome has 12 windows, rises 71.5 m inside and spans 33.5 meters, which counts it among the tallest domes in the world. Seen from outside, the basilica is 100 m high.
The present church stands on the foundations of several earlier churches. Stephen I of Hungary built the earliest, the Saint Adalbert church, between 1001 and 1010, as Hungary's first cathedral. In 1543, after its capture by the Ottomans, the cathedral's sanctuary was pulled down and the rest became a mosque. The foundation stone of the present basilica was laid on April 23, 1822, the feast of St. Adalbert.
The architect was Pál Kühnel, and his nephew János Packh was the lead contractor. After Packh was murdered in 1839, József Hild took charge of construction. The cross went up on the dome in 1846. Emperor Franz Joseph attended the dedication of the upper church on August 31, 1856, and Hild completed the Classicist building in 1869. Because of the topography, the main facade faces east.
How it prints
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.

|---|---|---|
| 160 mm default | 30 mm | 1:3,750 |
| 200 mm | 37 mm | 1:3,000 |
| 256 mm | 47 mm | 1:2,344 |

- A small cross on the dome
- A small cross tops the dome. Print friendly adapts thin parts like this to the print scale, and printing slowly with cooling helps the tip hold its shape.
- A drum of tall columns
- The dome stands on a drum of tall, closely spaced columns, with a columned porch below. Full detail keeps every column, which suits a larger print or a fine nozzle; layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep them crisp.
- One piece with the ground
- The Esztergom Basilica 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 Esztergom Basilica 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.

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. The Esztergom Basilica grows with the print: about 30 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
