About Sapporo Dome
Sapporo Dome, in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, is a stadium whose main use is association football. Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo, a football club, plays its home games there, and baseball's Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters called it home through the 2022 season. It opened in 2001. Its events include three first-round games at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, football at the 2020 Summer Olympics, the 2017 Asian Winter Games opening ceremony and two games of the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
Two quite different playing surfaces were used inside the dome. Baseball was played on artificial turf that stayed in the stadium, while football is played on a grass pitch that slides in and out as needed. To convert, the artificial turf was stored, the lower-bowl bleachers swung from an angled position to a parallel one, seats at one end retracted, the pitch slid in, and the lower bowl was turned 90 degrees. Unlike some other stadiums with sliding pitches, it has a fixed roof.
Architect Hiroshi Hara designed the dome, whose roof is 245 m in diameter, and the stands have a maximum inclination of 30°. The building area is 53,800 m2. In 2007 the dome hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships. It was also the first venue at the world championship or Winter Olympic level to stage skiing both indoors and at night, and its turf conversion hovering system was used to help make snow.
How it prints
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.
| Print size | Landmark height | Scale |
|---|---|---|
| 160 mm default | 21 mm | 1:3,750 |
| 200 mm | 27 mm | 1:3,000 |
| 256 mm | 34 mm | 1:2,344 |

- A smooth domed shell
- The large shell is a smooth curve with faint seam lines. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep the curve free of visible stepping, and a bigger print size shows the seams more clearly.
- A glazed end wall
- One end of the dome has a glazed wall divided by many thin frames. Print friendly adapts them to the print scale; Full detail keeps more of them, which suits a larger print or a fine nozzle.
- One piece with the ground
- Sapporo Dome 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. Sapporo Dome 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
Sapporo Dome 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 Sapporo Dome 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. Sapporo Dome grows with the print: about 21 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?
Yes. Generation runs in your browser, with no account and nothing behind a paywall.
