Since shipping for the 2020 holiday shipping season is over, feel free to just go ahead and print this.
You will need to either cut the sphere to make a flat spot, or print the "cut" ornament-A model.
You will need to print about 55-60 of the ornament-B objects
Just 1 of the 2020 model
I print the sphere first, cut side near the top. Not at the top, near the top.
I switch my filament once the "2020" characters have printed a layer or two.
Then I print a plateful of the B model. You will need 55-60 minimum
I first take a small piece of filament, heat it, and bend it to make a place for the hook to go.
I then melt the ends of the hook mount and weld them to the sphere.
I glue the 2020 sign to the flat part that has been cut on the sphere so that it lines up with the hook (you may need to moisten the sphere and sign)
The B objects (proteins) can be glued, but I heat the ends of the proteins and weld them to the spots on the sphere. I use a candle, but please be fire safe. If you use fire, you will probably burn yourself. I still do, and I've made a dozen of them.
I then heat a length of metallic filament and bend it for a hook
