The magic isn't the mini. It's painting it together.

Send us a quick video of your kid's favorite stuffed animal — we rebuild it as a mini, prime it bright white, and send it back with a real paint kit. Then comes the best part: an afternoon at the kitchen table, brushes out and colors mixing, bringing your little friend to life side by side.

We're firing up the printers — join the list for early access. See how it works →

Three steps, start to shelf

No app to download, no special gear. If you can take a video, you can make a Paintlin.

  1. 1

    Scan it

    Take a slow, steady video all the way around your subject. That's the whole ask — any phone will do.

  2. 2

    We rebuild it in 3D

    We turn your video into a 3D model, clean it up by hand, and print it in tough, kid-safe PLA — primed bright white.

  3. 3

    You paint it

    Open the kit, dip a brush, and bring your little friend to life. There's no wrong way to do it.

Half the fun is in the painting

These started as toys on a kitchen table. We painted most of them ourselves — turns out it's just as fun for grown-ups — and our first fan added her own Rainbow Kitty to the shelf.

Be first to make one.

Paint one with your kid — or sneak off and paint one for them. Either way it's a keepsake you made by hand. We're opening in small batches — leave your email and we'll send you early access, first word on pricing, and the filming guide.

No spam, ever. Just a heads-up when the printers are warm.
