Product Description:

This is a true-scale, accurate, 3D print-ready STL file of the Second Temple (Herod's Temple) in Jerusalem. The model was created based on the comprehensive research of temple expert Rabbi Elchanan Eibschitz in his book, The Second Temple in its Glory. It also features design elements inspired by the Holyland Model of Jerusalem designed by Professor Michael Avi-Yonah.

This model is designed as a high-detail 'Shelf Model', perfect for display in any office, library, or home. It is ideal for history buffs, temple researchers, and 3D printing enthusiasts. Whether used as an educational tool or given as a unique gift, this model offers a tangible connection to the Second Temple's glory.

Key Technical Features:

• Manifold Mesh: Clean geometry with no internal errors, verified in X-Ray view for a flawless slicing experience.

• Realistic Hollow Structures: Features hollow interiors with actual ceilings, windows, and openings for superior realism. All internal overhangs are optimized with 45° chamfers for easy, support-free printing.

• Integrated Seam Management: Strategically placed hidden grooves to conceal Z-seams across the entire model. To achieve this, set Z Seam Alignment to Sharpest Corner and Seam Corner Preference to Hide Seam in your slicer.

• Structural Strength: For the thin pillars (1.6mm–2.2mm), it is highly recommended to use at least 3 Wall Loops (Perimeters). This ensures the pillars are printed solid for maximum durability.

• Print Ready: This model was carefully curated and reviewed for best printing results. For your convenience, I have included screenshots of my recommended Ultimaker Cura settings. Make sure to review and apply them to your slicer for an optimal print.

The package also includes a reference image with a detailed structure legend, mapping out all chambers, gates, and areas for easy identification.
