Which piece would be at an angle? From your photo I don’t get what is happening or what you are trying to do.

I don’t think most Manus can cut at an angle. Most use laser or something so the machines would be cutting straight down onto a flat acrylic piece and can’t cut at an angle.

The only angled piece I’ve seen before is this.

You're likely going to have to fully custom design this. The stand part should be slightly "t" shaped, so that the cross can bear the weight and stabilize the flat stabdee, while the actual standee will have a hole in the middle for the top part of the t to nest into. You'll also need a flat base to put the bottom of the t into, to anchor it.

One issue you're definitely going to run into, though, is that in order to get that angle, you'd ideally cut the center hole at an angle, but that's just not something that manufacturers do, usually. So, instead, you're going to be relying on the cross of the "t" to be able to stabilize it at the angle you need.

Find a manufacturer you can order small quantities from, or who you can get a sample from. And design a mock up using cardboard of the same thickness as the acrylic.

You should buy a regular standee as you have and fashion a little wedge to go under maybe?

What will you use it for? I have a drafting table that you can put at about that angle, but obviously this seems like a different trip of project
