About the Royal Arena

The Royal Arena, an indoor venue for many kinds of events, is in Copenhagen's Ørestad South district. Construction began with a ground-breaking on June 26, 2013, and the doors opened in February 2017. The capacity is 12,500 for sporting events, and concerts can hold as many as 17,000 people, seated or standing. The city wanted to stage international events of its own, such as the Eurovision Song Contest and major concerts, so Copenhagen decided to construct an arena of that scale.

Plans for the arena were unveiled at a press conference at the Bella Sky Hotel on September 23, 2011. The design followed on June 7, 2012. It came from a team of 3XN, Arup, HKS, Inc., ME Engineers and Planit, which gave the arena a distinctly Nordic look. Realdania and Copenhagen Municipality each put up DKK 325,000,000. Live Nation was chosen to run the arena in December 2011, ahead of AEG Facilities. Royal Unibrew, a Danish brewery, was announced as the commercial sponsor in 2014 and gained naming rights for "Royal".

The arena's first major sporting event was the European Short Course Swimming Championships in 2017. In 2018 it shared hosting of the IIHF World Championship with Jyske Bank Boxen, and in 2019 it was among eight venues in Denmark and Germany used for the World Men's Handball Championship. On September 28, 2019, Denmark's first UFC event took place there.

Fine ribs around the drum
The round wall is wrapped in narrow vertical ribs, and the roof carries fine parallel lines. Print friendly adapts them to the print scale; Full detail keeps them on a larger print.
A wide, low roof
The roof is a broad flat span with thin lines across it. Layers of 0.12–0.16 mm keep those lines and the ribbed edge crisp.
One piece with the ground
The Royal 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. The Royal 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.

About this model

The Royal Arena is one of more than 2,300 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.

Common questions

Is there a Royal Arena 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 Royal Arena grows with the print: about 10 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.

Is it free?
