I will create 3D printed acrylic standees and toppers from your character art
About this gig
Turn your original character art into crisp, full-color 3D printed acrylic standees and cake-style toppers, hand-finished and mailed to your door ready to display.
What you get
I take the artwork you already love and translate it into a physical, freestanding acrylic figure you can put on a desk, a shelf, a convention table, or the top of a cake. This is a made-to-order physical product that I produce and ship to you, not a digital file and not a generic blank.
- A custom acrylic standee cut to the exact silhouette of your character (contour cut, not a plain rectangle), with your art printed in full color and sealed so it does not scratch off
- A matching 3D printed base/stand that holds the standee upright at a stable angle, sized to the figure so it will not topple
- Optional topper conversion: instead of a flat base, I mount your figure on a food-safe acrylic or printed spike/prong so it stands cleanly in a cake or cupcake
- Clean edge finishing: I flame-polish or sand the cut acrylic edges so they are smooth and clear rather than frosted or rough
- Double-sided printing on request so the character looks correct from both the front and the back instead of showing a mirror image or a white backside
- A protective film peeled and a quick quality photo of your finished piece before it leaves me, so you see exactly what you are getting
- Careful padded packaging (the standee separated from the base, corners protected) and tracked shipping
Typical sizes run from small cupcake-topper scale up to roughly tabletop display height. Tell me the height you want and I will confirm what is feasible for your art and proportions.
Plans
| Tier | What's included |
|---|---|
| Basic | One single-sided acrylic standee from one supplied character image, with one printed/acrylic base. Standard small display size. Edge-polished and shipped. |
| Standard | One double-sided contour-cut standee at your chosen display size, with a matching sturdy base, light cleanup of the supplied art (background removal, simple touch-ups), plus the topper-spike option if you want it for a cake. |
| Premium | A coordinated set of multiple standees/toppers (e.g. a cast of characters or a tiered cake set), double-sided, larger display sizing available, art cleanup and layout per figure, custom base styling, and a digital proof for approval before I print. |
Need a quantity, a size, or a configuration that does not fit neatly into a tier? Message me first and I will tell you honestly whether it is doable and quote a custom scope.
How it works
- You send me your character art at the highest resolution you have, ideally with a transparent background (PNG). You also tell me the target height, single- or double-sided, and whether you want a display base or a cake topper.
- I review the files for print suitability and flag anything that could cause problems (too low resolution, very thin lines, tiny text, a busy background that needs removing).
- I prepare the cut path around your character and lay out the print, removing or cleaning the background as needed. On Standard and Premium I send you a digital proof showing the silhouette and sizing.
- You approve the proof (or request changes within the included revision scope).
- I print, cut, finish the edges, and 3D print the base or topper spike. I assemble and test that the figure stands correctly.
- I photograph the finished piece, package it protectively, and ship it with tracking. You get the tracking number.
Why choose this
I treat each piece as a real product, not a rushed cut-and-print job. The two things that ruin a cheap standee are ugly edges and a base that tips over, and I specifically address both: edges are polished smooth and bases are sized and weighted to the figure. I print in full color with sealed inks so the art stays vivid and does not peel, and I offer true double-sided work so your character is not a blank or a mirror image from behind. Because I produce these to order, I can match your exact silhouette and the exact height you need rather than forcing your art into a one-size blank. I am also upfront before printing: if your file will not hold up at the size you want, I tell you in advance instead of shipping a blurry result.

FAQ
Q: Do I get a physical product or a digital file? A physical product. I 3D print and fabricate the standee/topper and mail it to you with tracking. There is no digital download involved.
Q: What artwork do you need from me, and do you draw the character? I need your existing character art, ideally a high-resolution PNG with a transparent or easily removable background. I am a maker, not the original illustrator, so I do not design or draw new characters from scratch. I do clean up and prep what you send for print.
Q: Can you make it double-sided so the back isn't blank? Yes. Double-sided is included on Standard and Premium, and available as an option on Basic. The back is aligned so the character faces the correct direction from both sides rather than appearing mirrored.
Q: Is the cake topper actually safe to put on food? I use a food-safe spike/prong that inserts into the cake, and the printed character sits above the surface rather than touching the food directly. I recommend a thin barrier between the acrylic and the cake and removing it before slicing, like any non-edible topper.
Q: What sizes can you make? Anywhere from small cupcake-topper scale up to roughly tabletop display height. Very large sizes depend on your art resolution, so tell me the height you want and I will confirm what will still look sharp.
Q: Will the edges be rough or cloudy? No. I flame-polish or sand the cut acrylic so the edges are smooth and clear rather than frosted, which is one of the main things that separates a clean standee from a cheap one.
Q: Can you do a whole set or a custom quantity? Yes. Premium is built for multi-figure sets, and I am happy to scope a custom batch. Message me with the number of figures and sizes and I will confirm feasibility and timing before you order.
Q: What if my image resolution is too low? I will tell you before printing. Depending on the case I can sometimes upscale or clean the art, suggest a smaller size that still looks crisp, or ask you for a better file. I will not silently ship a blurry standee.

The standee print itself is good and matches my art, but the base felt a little flimsy and the figure tips over if the table gets bumped.

Didn't think my flat drawing would look this good as a physical piece, but the glossy acrylic finish makes the colors pop. Honestly blown away by the result.

Nice clean cut on the acrylic and the base holds it up nice and steady. One tiny detail in the lineart came out a bit faint but overall I'm really happy.

Ordered three standees of my characters and every single one is flawless, no rough edges anywhere. Packed really well so nothing got scratched in transit.

Used the topper on my daughter's birthday cake and it was the highlight of the whole party. The character art transferred onto the acrylic perfectly.

The acrylic standee of my OC turned out crystal clear and the print is razor sharp. It sits perfectly on the base and looks amazing on my desk.
- @hana7★★★★★4
Both the standee and the topper came out great and the colors matched my art well. Took a touch longer than I hoped but worth the wait.

Sent over a rough character drawing and got back a gorgeous standee with a clean little stand. Way better quality acrylic than I was expecting.
