7 mm tall on a 160 mm print
Make this print opens the generator on a 1250 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.
- Ring of steel portals
Lens-shaped lattice trusses stand round the rim and run past the roof edge to a thin tip. Print friendly adapts them to the print scale; at a larger size the open lattice still reads.
- Roof opening and lip
The roof slopes up to an open rounded opening, framed by a raised lip and a paneled band. Full detail keeps the panel ribs; on a small print, Print friendly keeps the lip.
- One piece with the ground
The Castelão (Fortaleza) 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 Castelão (Fortaleza) 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 Castelão (Fortaleza)
The Castelão is a football ground in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. Formally the Estádio Governador Plácido Castelo, it is nicknamed the Gigante da Boa Vista, and its everyday name is Portuguese for "Big Castle". It opened on November 11, 1973, and the formal title honors Plácido Aderaldo Castelo, who governed Ceará from September 12, 1966, until March 15, 1971, and led the push to build it. The Ceará state government owns it, and two clubs play their home games there: Fortaleza Esporte Clube and Ceará Sporting Club. Its maximum capacity is 57,867 spectators, sixth largest in the country.
Construction ran from 1969 to 1973, and the opening match on November 11, 1973, ended 0–0 between Ceará and Fortaleza. The state government began a renovation in May 2000, and Brazil beat Yugoslavia 1–0 in the re-inaugural match on March 23, 2002. The stadium's attendance record came on August 27, 1980, when 118,496 watched Brazil beat Uruguay 1–0. On July 9 that year, Pope John Paul II took part in the 10th National Eucharistic Congress there, and the biggest crowd in its history, 120,000 people, attended.
It shut on March 31, 2011, for a reconstruction led by the Uruguayan architect Héctor Vigliecca that brought a larger roof, a new lower tier and a car park beneath the ground for 4,200 cars. The venue reopened on December 16, 2012; its all-seater capacity after the redevelopment is 63,903. It was the first of the twelve stadiums built or redeveloped for the 2014 FIFA World Cup to be finished. Three matches of the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup were played there, two in the group stage and one a semi-final.
