St. Basil's Cathedral optimized by icefox1983

This is a remix of maxbaum's highly detailed St. Basil's Cathedral model (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1770574), which is in turn a remix of dodo2000's model (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:934192). The latter is better printable but misses some unnecessary details such as the ball tips of the towers. The former is more accurate but not entirely printable. I have been inspired by dodo2000's simplification, but aimed to achieve higher fidelity while making the model printable. See pictures for changes I made. My changes of maxbaum's model includes:
Fixed a hang-in-the-air unprintable pillar, and beefed it up (original pillar was too thin to be printable)
Removed 9 unprintable crosses while keeping the ball tips
Removed 10 unprintable overhangs
(For those perfectionists, the removed parts are put on a separate plate and you can glue them back to restore maximum fidelity.)
The model is about 195mm tall without the cross. Printing at this or larger scales recommended. No support needed. 0.15mm or less layer height recommended to show all intricate details. The accessories must be printed at 0.1mm heights otherwise the crosses may not slice properly.
