Palace of Palenque - Chiapas, Mexico

Welcome to Palenque! 🇲🇽

The Ancient Ruins Collection - Mesoamerica is a dedicated subcollection to the legacy of past civilizations in parts of what is present-day Mexico and Central America.

This model was originally made by Leonardo Almírez and adjusted for 3D printing by Dany Sánchez .

Palenque was a Maya city-state in southern Mexico that existed from ca. 226 BC to ca. 799 AD.

The Palace , a complex of several connected and adjacent buildings and courtyards, was built by several generations on a wide artificial terrace during four century period. The Palace was used by the Mayan aristocracy for bureaucratic functions, entertainment, and ritualistic ceremonies. Its most unusual and recognizable feature is the four-story tower known as The Observation Tower (from Wikipedia ).

Printing Tips

No supports needed, this has been optimized to eliminate all overhangs.

NOTE: Your slicer may indicate errors or strange surfaces, as well as some warnings. We have test printed this and it prints fine. The errors are due to the conversion from surface model into manifold for 3D printing, some surfaces had inverted normals.

Suggested parameters:

Without input shaper, print slow for better details: 15 or 20mm/s for outer perimeters. Fine-tune retraction to avoid stringing. Perimeters: 2 Top layers: 3 Infill: as low as 12%
