I opted for an authentic wooden craft stick for the handle, but now there's a printable stick too; Thanks @LesimpressionsDega!
The wooden sticks can easily be found at any craft store, and they are available in a rainbow of colors that are complementary to your print! They measure 150x18x1.7mm which I cut in half. No glue is needed to attach the stick. I did use a small dot of E6000 glue to attach the eyes and mouth pieces.
Note: With a standard sized popsicle stick this model makes a perfect ring holder!
There is a version without a face if you want a melting popsicle for a fun prank or interesting desk decor.
Popsicle: 0.2mm layers, 3 walls, 10% infill, no supports needed
Eyes: 0.25mm layers, 3 walls, 100% infill, layers 1-8 white, layers 9-12 black
Mouth with teeth: 0.25mm layers, 3 walls, 100% infill, layers 1-4 black, layers 5-8 white
Mouth with uvula: 0.25mm layers, 3 walls, 100% infill, layers 1-2 red, layers 3-4 black, layers 5-8 white
