Henry Viii Crown - Remix with Custom supports

thingiverse

I wanted to make a smaller version of the wonderful scan of Henry Viii crown supplied by Historic Royal Palaces (see https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:335960). I saw the original at Hampton Court (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8uQ2lp2DBM) and thought that a 5cm (or so) version would be nice to have. Unfortunately when scaling down the walls of the crown become very thin! I remixed the crown in meshlab and Tinkercad to thicken up the walls and add custom supports. As can be seen from the photo's attached the crown lifts straight off the supports after printing - I used a raft to ensure that the crown and the supports did not move!
