Improved / repaired spikes for ReProps's "Majora's Mask from Legend of Zelda"

I'm not into it, but I was seeking it for Christmas gifting for a loved one who is into it.

Here on Printables, ReProps's model (which this remix seeks to improve upon) was the only one I could find for "Majora's Mask from Legend of Zelda" (at least in my quick search). ReProps seems to have done an impressive bit of modeling on the main mask. There are some issues overall.  

I later realized that another “Majora's Mask” model, which includes simulated “wood cracks/nicks,” exists on “that other model site."

However, I had already started first by printing the main mask body of ReProps's model, before I realized that the spikes were not oriented for printing, and before I discovered that spike #1 was not properly keyed to the main body (its grooves for the ridges are not placed correctly, thus its peg does not match its hole — off by some 8mm). 

By the time I found the other, impressive “wood nicked” model, and also before I finally realized the issues with the spikes on this model, I was “in for a penny, in for a pound.” So I stuck it out and remixed the spikes of this model to get a decent resulting print (not yet painted, see pics). 

My remixed spikes here come in a pre-mirrored set, are properly oriented for printing (supports are required), and have the issue fixed for spike #1's groove location / peg location. 

As a bonus, my set has the spikes named on their bottoms (the left five are L1, L2, L3 … etc, and right five are R1, R2, R3… etc). I use the same numbering scheme that ReProps's model does (spike #1 is at the bottom, and they are numbered upwards from there).

ReProps's model listing inaccurately stated “supports: no” but please note that the model cannot be printed without supports. I have already brought that to ReProps's attention in the comments.

ReProps's model listing suggested scaling the model to 320%. I did so, and my remixed spikes are pre-scaled to that same amount. Similarly, the main mask body here is pre-scaled to the same amount.

My final summary advice is that if you have not started printing yet, consider the impressive “wood nicked” model instead. Or if you did already get your main body printed on ReProps's model, hopefully my spike remix here will help you get a completed result.

PS: there were some other minor issues with the spikes that I did not address.
