8 mm tall on a 160 mm print
Make this print opens the generator on a 1450 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.
- Ribbed roof and patterned facade
The roof is a run of parallel ribs, and the entrance front has a triangular panel with fine patterning. Print friendly adapts such repeated detail to your print scale; Full detail keeps it, best on a larger print with 0.12 to 0.16 mm layers.
- Long, low building
The museum is long and low, spread across open ground, so a larger print shows the roof ribs and entrance facade more clearly.
- One piece with the ground
The Grand Egyptian Museum 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 Grand Egyptian Museum 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.
About the Grand Egyptian Museum
The Grand Egyptian Museum, known as the GEM, stands in Giza, Egypt, and is a national museum of archaeology, about 2 km (1.2 mi) away from the Giza Pyramid complex. Its subject is Ancient Egypt: its culture, society and artifacts. Among museums devoted to a single civilization, it is the largest in the world. Its collection covers periods from the Predynastic era through Roman Egypt, and it is estimated to hold over 100,000 artifacts, including the complete King Tutankhamun collection of 5,398 pieces.
The site covers 500,000 m² (5,400,000 ft²), of which 167,000 m² (1,800,000 ft²) is built up. The idea came from Farouk Hosni, who was Minister of Culture between 1987 and 2011, in the early 1990s, and the government launched the project in 1992 under President Hosni Mubarak. The foundation stone was laid in 2002, and building work started in 2005. The museum cost $1.2 billion and was finished in 2023. Egyptian company Orascom Construction and Belgium's BESIX Group built it as a joint venture.
The main entrance hall, the Atrium, spans 10,000 square meters under a glass roof, with a transparent façade that lets visitors see the Giza Pyramids from inside. It houses a statue of Pharaoh Ramesses II that is 11 meters tall and weighs 83 t (183,000 lb). The Grand Staircase, six stories tall at approximately 50 m (160 ft), leads up to the 12 main exhibition halls and holds more than 60 artifacts. Two of those twelve halls are devoted solely to the 5,398 artifacts of King Tutankhamun.
