No problem. For Educators, especially Students, its very hard for to imagine in 2D compared to 3D. Therefore, we usually start with a 3D Model and then convert it into a Vector Image. In addition, both Illustrator and CorelDraw are hefty expenses for some of our audience members alongside having a sharp learning curve in comparison to Tinkercad (we do recommend exploring Inkscape that has similar capabilities of Illustrator and CorelDraw, but its still intimidating for some Makers). Finally, it allows for the viewer to understand the connection between 2D and 3D as well as the versatility of their model. For example, while they can 3D Print their Model, they can also cut a cross-section and make a similar model on a different machine as well. Thank You for Your Comment and We Hope You...

We could post or send the Tinkercad File, but we would love for you to make your own version by following the Instructable and show us what you came designed. ;)

Using the Stratasys Fortus 3D Printer; it was approximately 40-60 hour build depending on the size of the full Crown. Our smaller scale version was 1.5-2 hrs.
