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.

Carved ornament is the first thing to lose at small scale. Print bigger, or use Full detail, and keep layers at 0.12 to 0.16 mm.
- A thin minaret
A tall minaret over a broad prayer hall can print unevenly. Slow the print for the upper section and choose Print friendly if the shaft looks fragile.

About the Madrasa of al-Nasir Muhammad
The Madrasa of al-Nasir Muhammad stands in Islamic Cairo, Egypt, in the Bayn al-Qasrayn area on al-Muizz street. Work started in 1294 or 1295, while Sultan al-Adil Kitbugha held the throne. Al-Nasir Muhammad, back on the throne in 1299, supervised the rest of the building, which was finished in 1303.
Brick walls carry stucco decoration and inscriptions on the inside and outside. Only three madrasas in Cairo housed all four Sunni schools of jurisprudence, and this is one of them. The mihrab, the niche that marks the direction of prayer, is the last of its kind in stucco in Egypt, with egg-shaped bosses in high relief. The mausoleum dome fell in 1870 and no replacement was built; its drum remains beneath a simple wooden roof.
The building's most distinctive feature is a Gothic marble portal brought from a church in Acre after al-Ashraf Khalil defeated the Crusaders in 1291. The minaret sits over the entrance portal, a position that was rare in Mamluk design. Its lower rectangular stage is among the few surviving stucco minaret sections in Cairo.
