Here's a video of it in action... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4FPl4xUSe8&feature=youtu.be#start=0:00;end=0:15;cycles=-1;autoreplay=true. Here's a group I made for my LED lights and things, if you like my LED designs, join the group and you'll be updated as I upload new ones... I plan on making a lot more logos just like this. So if you have any suggestions, please tell me and I'll make it. This is an extruded LED Makerbot logo I printed on my dual extruder... I took a JPEG of the Makerbot logo and traced it in Solidworks... I then extruded and filleted the letters and saved them as their own STL to be used in dual extrusion... I then designed a plate around the letters, added holes for screws and saved that as its own STL... Lastly, I designed a shell to go around the plate and letters, the shell has aligned screw holes so it can be fastened to the plate... I then printed the shell in regular ole black PLA on my Rep 2... And I did the dual extrusion using the same black PLA for the plate and I used Bendlay to print the letters... I used Bendlay because it is extremely translucent (91% of light passes through)... I then hooked up an RGB LED strip, wrapped it around the inner shell and hooked it up to an IR receiver so it can be controlled with a remote... I've also made the following logos' designs for LED hookup: Superman, Stormtrooper, Punisher, Transformers Autobot, Transformers Decepticon, IronMan, SpiderMan, Jeep Emblem, Batman, Mortal Kombat Logo, Makerbot 'M' logo, Apple Logo, Android Robot, and MakerFaire Robot.
