Glycidol, C3H6O2, packs a lot into eleven atoms: three carbons, six hydrogens, two oxygens, joined by eleven single bonds. One oxygen closes a strained three-membered ring with two of the carbons, and the remaining carbon carries a hydroxyl group. The ring carbon between them is a stereocentre, so this shape has a mirror image you cannot lay on top of it.
The print is ball-and-stick, and every sphere has its element symbol cut into the surface, so carbon, oxygen and hydrogen are easy to tell apart without any painting. Every carbon here is sp3.
Printing notes: scale it up in your slicer first. Plain PLA on any FDM printer is fine. Light supports under the bonds and the lower spheres, and a fine layer height keeps the engraved letters sharp.
