About the Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal is a mausoleum of ivory-white marble standing on the Yamuna river's right bank in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. The fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, commissioned it in 1631 to hold the tomb of Mumtaz Mahal, his late wife, and his own tomb is there as well. Work began in 1632. The mausoleum itself was finished in 1648, and the surrounding buildings and garden followed five years later. The tomb is the centerpiece of a complex of 17 hectares (42 acres) that holds a mosque and a guest house, set in formal gardens that have a crenellated wall on three sides.
The design draws on Indo-Islamic and Mughal traditions and relies on symmetry. The mausoleum is white marble with inlaid semi-precious stones, while red sandstone was used for the other buildings. The complex stands on a platform 300 m (980 ft) long and 8.7 m (28.5 ft) high. The mausoleum sits on a 6 m (20 ft) plinth with sides of 95.5 m (313 ft), and its 23 m (75 ft) marble dome rests on a 12 m (39 ft) drum. A gilded finial 9.6 m (31 ft) high crowns the dome, and four smaller domed chattris stand at its corners.
Four minarets, each more than 40 m (130 ft) tall, stand at the corners of the plinth. They were built angled slightly outward, so that in a collapse fallen material would tend to land away from the tomb. Over 20,000 workers and artisans worked on the project, under a board of architects led by the court architect Ustad Ahmad Lahori. UNESCO named the Taj Mahal a World Heritage Site in 1983.
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.

|---|---|---|
| 160 mm default | 22 mm | 1:3,750 |
| 200 mm | 27 mm | 1:3,000 |
| 256 mm | 34 mm | 1:2,344 |

- Four slender minarets
- A tall, narrow minaret stands at each corner of the platform, with ring balconies and small domed tops. Print friendly adapts these thin parts to the print scale; a larger print or Full detail keeps more of them.
- Thin finial on the dome
- The big dome carries a thin finial, with four small domed kiosks around its base. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep the tip crisp, and printing slowly with good cooling helps the finial.
- One piece with the ground
- The Taj Mahal 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 Taj Mahal 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

Common questions
Is there a Taj Mahal 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 Taj Mahal grows with the print: about 22 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?
