About St Stephen's Basilica
In Budapest, Hungary, St Stephen's Basilica is a Roman Catholic basilica. It honors Stephen, who was Hungary's first king (c. 975–1038), and his mummified right hand is kept in a reliquary there. No church in Budapest is larger, and it is also a co-cathedral of the Esztergom-Budapest archdiocese. Pope Pius XI gave it the title of basilica minor in 1931.
József Hild designed the church in a neo-classical style. The dome collapsed in 1858, so the finished work had to be torn down and rebuilt from the ground up. After Hild died in 1867, Miklós Ybl took over and shifted the plan toward a more neo-Renaissance style. Construction began in 1851 and went on for fifty-four years, and József Kauser completed the work in 1905. The keystone was set in place with Emperor Franz Joseph I present.
At 96 m (315 ft), the basilica matches the Hungarian Parliament Building as one of Budapest's two tallest buildings, a pairing said to symbolize that worldly and spiritual thinking had equal importance. The church is 87.4 m (287 ft) long and 55 m (180 ft) wide, with a Greek cross ground plan. Two large bell towers anchor the façade, and the south tower holds the biggest bell in Hungary, weighing over 9 metric tons.

- A tall ribbed dome
- The central dome rises on a drum and ends in a slim lantern and cross. Printing slowly and using layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keeps the curve smooth and the tip crisp.
- Two slender bell towers
- Each tower carries small open belfries and domes at the front. Print friendly adapts them to the print scale; Full detail keeps more of their openings, which suits a larger print or a fine nozzle.
- One piece with the ground
- St Stephen's Basilica 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.
