About the Hassan II Mosque
The Hassan II Mosque stands in Casablanca, Morocco, on a promontory that looks out toward the Atlantic Ocean, partly on land and partly over the sea. Only one mosque in Africa is bigger, and it ranks among the largest in the world. At 210 meters (689 ft), its minaret is the second tallest minaret in the world. The minaret is 60 stories high and topped by a laser whose light points toward Mecca. The building is 200 meters (660 ft) long and 100 meters (330 ft) wide, and up to 105,000 worshippers can gather: 25,000 in the hall and 80,000 on the grounds outside.
Michel Pinseau, a French architect who had lived in Morocco, designed it with guidance from King Hassan II, who commissioned it as Morocco's most ambitious structure ever. The civil engineering group Bouygues constructed it. Work began on July 12, 1986, and ran for seven years, with the formal inauguration on August 30, 1993. Artisans from every part of the kingdom built it, and much of the financing came from public subscription, with twelve million people donating.
Handcrafted marble forms the walls, and the roof can retract. The exterior shows titanium, bronze and granite finishes and is ornamented in pale blue marble and zellige tilework. All the structures are reinforced cement concrete, while the decorations follow traditional Moroccan design. Notable features include horseshoe arches and innumerable muqarnas on the ceilings. The complex covers 9 hectares (22 acres) and also holds a madrasa, hammams, a museum on Moroccan history and conference halls, with 41 fountains in the courtyard.

- A very tall, slim minaret
- The minaret rises far above the prayer hall and ends in a small lantern and a thin spire. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm and a slower print speed help the tall shaft and tip stay crisp.
- Patterned panels and arches
- The minaret shaft and the hall walls carry small patterned panels and rows of arches. A bigger print size shows them more clearly; Full detail keeps them all, while Print friendly adapts them to your scale.
- One piece with the ground
- The Hassan II Mosque 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 Hassan II Mosque 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.
