Zelda Crown - Slimmed / Refined - Customizer Headband

thingiverse

I have to give a huge thanks to ESSEFF3D who did the real design on this (and has lots of other Zelda items) - the core design was really solid, and is basically unchanged in my remix... I wouldn't have taken this on for my daughter without such a great starting point. My daughter went to comic-con as Zelda... so of course she needed a crown. Problem was that the original design was too small (headband) and appeared a bit thick (chunky), and she wanted it to be more delicate. Things I changed in this design: 1) The headband is now customizable... measure your head with a sewing tape measure (in mm) and you can use the customizer on this to create your personalized headband. 2) The headband now has the square mounting blocks built into them. I added a fillet on the bottom and was able to print the headband, with these blocks, without supports 3) I added a mounting hole to the back of the band for the backpiece. 4) I added a pin into the design of the backpiece to properly position it in the band 5) I slimmed down every component (leaves, centerpiece, backpiece, etc) by at least 25% 6) I hollowed out the gemstones (prints nice in translucent filament)... (I may have been able to just print the original with 0% infill, but why not make the design hollow) 7) I provided all the STLs in the orientation that they should print. 8) I've included a 570mm band STL (the one my daughter used... which I created before designing it in customizer.) Good luck, and enjoy. Print Settings Printer: Anet A6 Rafts: No Resolution: Fine Infill: Varies Notes: I was able to print most without supports in the orientation shown by the STL (including the band with built-in mounting brackets), but some of the larger leaves benefit from having supports added as their backsides are rounded. Post-Printing Be aware that the left and right versions of the leaves are different... take a look at the images to compare. There is a small "peg4back" that you'll need 2 of, these allow easy positioning of the 2 halves of the back piece together. Super Glue is your friend... position the components one by one and glue away. After painting, add the gemstones in translucent filament.
