I present to you two crown designs that I made last year from bones with anatomically correct(ish) shapes and sizes. Both made up of vertebrae, ribs and a sternum.

Originally the idea was to use copper wire to wrap around the parts of the bones where they merge together, to make it look like it was made from a lot of bones tied together instead of just beind magically welded as one piece, but I never got to it. So thats an idea.

The files include:

• Small Bone Crown - As one solid piece
• Large Bone Crown - As one solid piece
• Large Bone Crown - As 3 separate pieces; right half, left half and middle part (a.k.a. sternum).

The small crown might be ideal for a child or a woman, while the large crown its made for an adult man, although you can always scale the files. Have in consideration that the large crown (the solid piece) needs a larger print area, larger than 250x250x250mm, hence the split version. Also, both crowns have open backs (the halves are not welded together) so its easier to make them fit.

Consider this before printing:

• You will need a printing area of at least 250x250x250mm.
• The large crown (split version) must be glued together.
• If possible use glue on your printer bed, the parts are high and the supports can come loose (enable tree supports on build plate only).
• If you print in white (which you probably will) be aware that the infill can show through, so you may want to increase the walls, increase the infill, or paint the crown after printing.
• The surface of the bones is smooth, so you'll need to glue fabric or some way to attach the crown to your head so you can move freely without worrying about it falling off.
• Finally, if you have already mastered all the mysteries of TPU printing, it might be a better option, so you wouldn't have to worry at all about the crown falling and breaking.

The skull shown in the renders is not included.

That's all, good luck with your prints! And if you print it I'd love to see some pictures of your costume!

My print settings for this model:

• PLA
• 0.2 layer height
• 3 wall loops
• 15% adaptive cubic infill
• Supports ON (on built plate only)
