26 m of the Gateway of India, 7 mm on your shelf
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.
- Pointed turret tips
Four turrets rise from the roof, each capped with a thin point. Print friendly adapts thin parts like these to your print scale; Full detail keeps them, best printed slowly with 0.12 to 0.16 mm layers.
- Deep arches and a compact footprint
The tall arched openings are recessed with fine inner detail, and the whole monument is compact. A larger print keeps the arches and ornament crisper.
- One piece with the ground
The Gateway of India 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

You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
About the Gateway of India
The Gateway of India is a memorial arch on the Mumbai waterfront, at Apollo Bunder. It was raised to mark the arrival of King George V and Mary of Teck, his Empress Consort, on December 2, 1911, the first visit to India by a British monarch. The couple saw nothing but a cardboard model, since building work began in 1915. The foundation stone was laid on March 31, 1913, George Wittet's final design was sanctioned in August 1914, and the arch opened to the public on December 4, 1924.
Yellow basalt and reinforced concrete make up the structure, which rises 26 meters (85 feet). Its style is Indo-Saracenic, with many details borrowed from Gujarati regional architecture. The middle arch is taller and broader than the rest, topped by an extra story from which four turrets rise, and the central dome is 15 meters (49 feet) across. Intricate stone latticework, known as jali work, decorates the monument; the stone came from nearby, while the perforated screens were brought from Gwalior.
Once built, the Gateway was a ceremonial point of entry to India, symbolic in nature, for key government personnel. On February 28, 1948, the Somerset Light Infantry's First Battalion, the final British troops to depart India, went through it with a 21-gun salute. The monument faces Mumbai Harbour, with steps behind the arch leading down to the Arabian Sea. Funds ran short and the approach road was never built, so the monument sits at a slant to the road approaching it.
