Looking at
[Elproducts' remix](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2683172)
of
[4frika's Babbo Natale](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1166844)
I realized that neither was exactly what I wanted. So I started from scratch with a fresh sketch of a cartoon Santa, designed in Adobe Illustrator and extruded in Tinkercad.
Begin by printing the base and backplate, then print the face and hat pieces, and glue them up on the backplate (I used CA glue). if you want Santa to have a different colored face, paint it before gluing (I used a sand-colored acrylic). Finally, press the eyes into place on the face. To stand Santa above the base, print a copy of the connecting rod at 99% (so it will fit properly).
Next, print the cubes. Finally, if you want to insert the digits in a different color, print Numerals and Numeral 5
