Here's a video of it in action... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OURnFELybw&feature=youtu.be Check out the group I made for my LED lights and designs, if you like what I'm doing with LEDs, join the group and you'll be updated as I post new ones. I plan on making a lot more logos just like this one. If you have any suggestions, please let me know and I'll make it. http://www.thingiverse.com/groups/things-with-leds/things This is an extruded LED Android Robot that I printed on my dual extruder. I took a JPEG of the robot and drew it in Solidworks. Then I added depth to the robot by extruding and filleting it, saving it as its own STL file for dual extrusion. Next, I designed a plate around the robot with holes for screws and saved that as its own STL file. Finally, I created a shell to go around the plate and robot with aligned screw holes so it can be fastened to the plate. I printed the shell in regular black PLA on my Rep 2 using a dual extruder, and then used Bendlay (link below) for the transparent part of the robot because it is extremely translucent - 91% of light passes through. I hooked up an RGB LED strip around the inner shell and connected it to an IR receiver so it can be controlled with a remote.
