I haven't, but BITD my folks made moulds for their damaged cornicing from the existing cornicing, then fitted it.
You just need to be able to hold the mould against the existing shape.
I think they just did it by standing on a ladder until their arms ached. They're handy and did lots of work on their place, but they're not trades or skilled craftsmen or anything. I think you'll be fine to do it without getting as complicated as 3d printing etc.
Have a look on YouTube.

Have any of us here had to replicate a plaster skirting board with one of them old timer profiles.
The skirting boards in this room are made from plaster so I can’t take a bit off to make a mould.
I only need a foot or so to fit around a fire place.
Think I can find someone to 3d print a bit of it for me and I can make a mould with many sections etc? Some of you lot of geniuses here.
Thank you please.
