10 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.
- A finely ribbed wall
A band of narrow vertical ribs wraps around the oval wall. Print friendly adapts them to the print scale; Full detail keeps them on a larger print, ideally with 0.12–0.16 mm layers.
- A broad, shallow roof
The roof is a wide shallow dome. A larger print size and thin layers keep its smooth curve free of steps.
- One piece with the ground
The Dakar Arena 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

- 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 Dakar Arena
The Dakar Arena stands in Diamniadio, Senegal, and goes by the nickname Palais des sports de Diamniadio. It is an indoor venue used chiefly for basketball, built from 2016 to 2018, with room for 15,000 seated spectators. Senegal's men's and women's national teams both call it their home arena. The project followed Senegal's victory at AfroBasket Women 2015: President Macky Sall promised a fresh arena to take over from Marius Ndiaye Stadium as the base for the country's men's and women's teams.
Ground was broken on May 9, 2016, in a ceremony led by Sall with Mahammed Boun Abdallah Dionne, the Prime Minister, and numerous basketball players. Sall also inaugurated the arena, on August 8, 2018. In 2019 it staged every game of the Women's Afrobasket, and the final drew a full house of 15,000. Several seasons of the Basketball Africa League's Sahara Conference have also been played there.
