Laura Wreath

Rework of a Laurel Wreath by https://www.thingiverse.com/yk9219k

The original SVG contains several technical artefacts that make it dificult to create a proper solid in 3D:
* the elements are not merged. They are overlapping outlines.
* the outlines are technically not closed. the two endpoints coincide only when allowing some rounding.
* many of the leaves are disconnected.
* there are many T-intersections, where one arm has duplicate lines.

I've merged the elements, by
* closing all outlines
* making them overlap properly, not just touching with a T-intersection
* extended several twigs to really connect the leaves.
* removed all holes (by makeing leaves smaller
* separated the stems and center part of the ribbon as an extra layer.

The result is Laurel_Wreath_merged.svg

The file Laura_Wreath.FCstd is a 3D-extrusion with 10° draft added -- useful for metal casting. It is still a delicate and fragile object!

The method of applying a draft is a horrible hack. 9
