About the Mesa Arizona Temple
The Mesa Arizona Temple was previously named the Arizona Temple and has the nickname Lamanite Temple. It is the seventh temple in operation for the Latter-day Saint church, and it stands in the city of Mesa, Arizona. Church president Heber J. Grant announced the plan to build it on October 1, 1919. Groundbreaking took place on April 25, 1922, and Grant dedicated the temple on October 23, 1927.
The church held a design competition among three Salt Lake firms, and the winning design came from Ramm Hansen and Don Carlos Young Jr. Its neoclassical design, which departs from the style of earlier temples, is suggestive of the Temple in Jerusalem, and the building has no spires. The main structure sits atop a pedestal, with a frieze and pilasters with Corinthian capitals. Eight carved frieze panels show God's people gathering from the Old and New World. The two-story building is made with concrete and terracotta tiles, has a flat roof, and stands on a site of 20 acres (8.1 ha).
The grounds have patterns of geometric shapes lined up with the four compass directions, with thematic gardens and reflective pools. The temple closed in February 1974 for new technology in the ordinance rooms and a new entrance, and it was rededicated on April 16, 1975. It closed again in May 2018 for a significant renovation and was rededicated on December 12, 2021. An Easter pageant has been held at the temple since 1938, and an annual Christmas lights display since 1979.

- Low roofs, small windows
- The building is long and low, with rows of tiny windows under flat roofs. Layers of 0.12–0.16 mm keep the windows crisp, and a bigger print size makes them easier to see.
- Thin garden paths
- Many thin paths and small pools surround the temple. Print friendly adapts these fine lines to the print scale, while Full detail keeps them on a larger print.
- One piece with the ground
- The Mesa Arizona Temple 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 Mesa Arizona Temple 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.

Common questions
Is there a Mesa Arizona Temple STL I can download?
Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.
How big can I print it?
Any print size from 40 mm across. The Mesa Arizona Temple grows with the print: about 4 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
