Well, if you like chocolate, you can have the key molecule to wear around your neck.
The proper name of the 'chocolate molecule' is theobromine, based on the botanical name of the cacao tree. The cacao tree genus name is 'food of the gods' in Latin. Other chemical names for theobromine include 3,7-Dimethylxanthine, 83-67-0, Diurobromine, Teobromin and even more. The molecular formula is C7H8N4O2. It is a very similar molecule to caffeine.
Just attach a chain around two of the sticks (bonds) long enough for your neck, and you can have chocolate all day.

For filament printers, see screen image of Cura setup. Remember to lay it down on the platform; it tilts a bit and saves some scaffolding. You can see the print on my Cocoon printer was not entirely successful: one hydrogen was air printed! A couple more hydrogens broke off when removing the support, and the underside is rough. I have not got around to doing any post-print processing on the incomplete print. Even the caffeine molecule (see https://www.myminifactory.com/object/43955) had three hydrogens fall off!
Now, for printing on Sinterit Lisa, reduce the size to something like 50% so it fits in the available print space. At this size, the molecule is a nice size to comfortably wear all day. You can expect the print from Sinterit Lisa to just come out nicely, and be complete, because support is just not an issue. But if you want to bling it up a bit, you can spray it with paint. Bright shiny gold would be stunning, and chrome would too.
