About Rogers Arena
Rogers Arena stands at 800 Griffiths Way, in the downtown core of Vancouver, British Columbia. It opened in 1995 and carried the name General Motors Place, or GM Place, until a change on July 6, 2010: General Motors Canada ended its sponsorship of the name, and Rogers Communications took over the naming rights. It was built to replace the Pacific Coliseum as the city's main indoor sports facility, and partly because of the NBA's 1995 expansion into Canada.
Its tenants include the Vancouver Canucks, an NHL team, and the Vancouver Warriors, who play in the National Lacrosse League. The Vancouver Grizzlies of the NBA played there for six seasons, from 1995 to 2001, before moving to Memphis for 2001-02. Private financing of C$160 million paid for the 1995 construction, and people often called the building The Garage as well as GM Place.
The arena was the venue for the Olympic ice hockey tournaments of February 2010, and its name was temporarily changed to Canada Hockey Place; Canada won both gold medals. It also staged four games of the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals (Games 1, 2, 5 and 7), where the Boston Bruins won Game 7 by 4-0 over the Canucks. Other events included the 1998 NHL All-Star Game and the 2001 World Figure Skating Championships.

- A tall tower beside the roof
- A slim tower with many thin floor lines stands beside the arena roof. Printing slowly helps tall parts, and layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep those fine horizontal lines crisp.
- Fine ribs on the roof
- Thin ribs curve across the oval roof. A bigger print size keeps more of them; Print friendly adapts small details to the print scale, while Full detail keeps every one.
- One piece with the ground
- Rogers Arena 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. Rogers Arena 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.
