Nikola Tesla Bust with Base and Name Plate

I'll never match the creator's skill in crafting this incredible sculpture by [mushogenshin](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:571784), but I wanted to enhance it with a base - every great bust deserves one! The original model, which I based on version 3, was built in inches, so my first move was converting it to millimeters. Next, I added a three-tiered base along with a nameplate bearing Tesla's name. However, upon reviewing the project, I realized that I lacked space for it at its original size, so I downscaled it to 75%. When I did this, though, some of the lines forming segments of the full name "Nikola Tesla" became too small for printing. I could have opted for a different font, but I preferred the original one. So, I created an alternative with a smaller nameplate featuring only the last name "Tesla." This version prints well even when scaled down to 75% in both X and Y directions. There's also a third option without any nameplate at all if you prefer that look. In summary: **NikolaTesla_wBase** represents no nameplate, which can be printed down to 75%, while **NikolaTesla_wBase-Nameplate_v1** features the full name on a plate but cannot be scaled down. **NikolaTesla_wBase-Nameplate_v2**, however, boasts the last name on a plate that can indeed be scaled down to 75%. Be sure to print the corresponding nameplate for your chosen version and only scale it in the X/Y direction.
