17 mm tall on a 160 mm print
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.
- Two slender minarets
The minarets are slender, and their balconies sit high up. Print friendly adapts details this fine at small sizes; a larger print at Full detail keeps the balconies sharper.
- A stack of domes
The main dome sits above four half-domes, so the top of the print is a run of curves. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep the steps between them small, and printing slowly helps these stacked sections.
- One piece with the ground
The Şehzade Mosque 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 Şehzade Mosque 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 the Şehzade Mosque
The Şehzade Mosque stands in the Fatih district of Istanbul, on the third hill of the city, and takes its name from Prince Mehmed, the son Suleiman the Magnificent lost. Suleiman ordered it as a memorial to the prince, who died in 1543. It was one of the imperial architect Mimar Sinan's earliest and most important works, and a signature work of Classical Ottoman architecture.
The sultan commissioned a whole complex, a külliye, in his son's memory. Mehmed had died while coming home from a victorious campaign in Hungary. His mausoleum was finished first, in 1544, and the mosque with its outbuildings came next, built between 1545 and 1548. That made the project Sinan's first important imperial commission.
Its prayer hall is square, under a central dome with four half-domes around it and four smaller domes in the corners. That dome measures 19 meters (62 ft) across and rises 37 meters (121 ft), carried on four pillars at its corners. Twin minarets serve the mosque, each with two muqarnas balconies and shafts carved with interlacing geometric decoration in low relief. Sinan called the design his apprentice work and was unhappy with it, and he never repeated the layout, though later Ottoman architects did.
