About King Baudouin Stadium
King Baudouin Stadium is a stadium for several sports in Brussels, Belgium, on the north-western side of the City of Brussels. Its purpose was to embellish the Heysel/Heizel Plateau ahead of the 1935 Brussels International Exposition, and it was inaugurated on August 23, 1930, with Crown Prince Leopold at the opening ceremony. The stadium held 70,000 people at that time. The stadium is named for King Baudouin, who followed Leopold as King of the Belgians in 1951 and reigned until his death in 1993.
The architect Joseph Van Neck, who was also chief architect of the 1935 exhibition, built the first version in 1929–30 in a classical modernist style. It was first called the Jubilee Stadium, since it opened within the Belgian Revolution's centenary celebrations, and in 1946 it became the Heysel Stadium, after its neighborhood. European Cup finals were held there in 1958, 1966, 1974 and 1985. On May 29, 1985, a crowd disorder before the final led to the Heysel Stadium disaster, in which 39 Juventus spectators died.
In 1995 the ground was rebuilt and renamed for the king, who had died two years before. Only a gateway near the main entrance, since renovated, remains from the old stadium. The new structure joined the football ground to a running track plus facilities for field events, and it reopened on August 23, 1995. It is Belgium's largest stadium, and it hosted the 1996 Cup Winners' Cup final and five matches of UEFA Euro 2000, including the opener between Belgium and Sweden.
How it prints
Make this print opens the generator on a 650 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.

|---|---|---|
| 160 mm default | 18 mm | 1:4,063 |
| 200 mm | 23 mm | 1:3,250 |

- Four slim floodlight masts
- Tall, thin masts rise from the corners of the bowl. Printing slowly and using layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm helps them print cleanly, and Print friendly adapts thin parts to the print scale.
- A horseshoe bowl, one open end
- The bowl wraps around three sides, with a lower stand at the open end. A bigger print size shows the stepped seating more clearly.
- One piece with the ground
- King Baudouin Stadium 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. King Baudouin Stadium 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.
