I detest working with mesh models, so I recreated the Prusa RC2 headband in Solid Edge from scratch. My aim was to make it as accurate to the original model as possible, right down to its minute details (see images of overlapping models). The spacing of the hexagons is slightly off (I couldn't match it perfectly within a reasonable timeframe) and I didn't bother matching the text font (I just used Arial instead). Other than those features, it should be pretty much spot on. My goal was to provide a more robust base from which remixes and revisions could be made in traditional mechanical CAD software (Solid Edge, Solidworks, Fusion 360, etc.) since that's what I'm accustomed to using. Since it's an almost identical copy, it should be compatible with any existing shields or other parts designed to interact with the original Prusa RC2 headband. I also created a version with fewer hexagons so there would be more space between them since this has come up frequently in discussions as an issue. Other than that change, the "fewer_hexagons" model is identical to the "original" model. If you need these files in a different file format, please let me know and I can export them in most 3D model formats. UPDATE 2020-03-22: A huge thank you goes out to Bogdan Kovtun for sharing his .stp model of the bottom reinforcement; this now includes solid models for both parts.
