9 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.
- Ribbed round wall
The round wall is lined with many thin vertical ribs. Print friendly adapts these to the print scale; Full detail keeps them, which suits a larger print or a fine nozzle. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep them crisp.
- Roof panels on thin arches
The roof is a set of flat panels carried by two thin arched trusses. A bigger print size keeps the trusses, and printing slowly helps the slim arches form cleanly.
- One piece with the ground
Rod Laver 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
Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. Rod Laver Arena 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 Rod Laver Arena
In Melbourne Park, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, stands Rod Laver Arena, a multipurpose venue. The Australian Open, the year's first Grand Slam tennis tournament, has the arena as its main venue. It replaced the aging Kooyong Stadium. Construction began in 1985 and finished in 1987 for AU$94 million, and the arena opened on January 11, 1988, for that year's Australian Open.
Two renamings followed its original 1988 name, National Tennis Centre at Flinders Park: Centre Court in 1996, and then, on January 16, 2000, Rod Laver Arena, after Rod Laver, who won the Australian Open three times. It seats 14,820. Capacity rises to 15,400 for basketball and similar sports, with extra seats added around the court, and for concerts with floor seating it is up to 14,200.
It was the first tennis venue worldwide, and the first arena of any sort in Australia, with a retractable roof. Premier of Victoria John Cain suggested the roof around 1980, as a compromise after Tennis Australia asked for an open-air tennis facility beside a government project for a closed-roof entertainment center. The roof lets play continue in rain or extreme heat. Other uses have included basketball, motorbike super-crosses, concerts, conferences, wrestling and ballet.
