Description
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This model was originally made by Leonardo Almírez and adjusted for 3D printing by Dany Sánchez.
El Tajín is a pre-Columbian archeological site in southern Mexico and is one of the largest and most important cities of the Classic era of Mesoamerica, flourishing from 600 to 1200 AD. Named after the Totonac rain god, El Tajín is a World Heritage site.
The Pyramid of the Niches is the most prominent structure in this site; notable for its size, unusual design and good state of preservation (from Wikipedia).

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
