StormTrooper LED Light/Nightlight

Here's a video of it in action... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AHuQhO-Ckg 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 Stormtrooper that I printed on my dual extruder. I took a JPEG of the Stormtrooper and traced it in Solidworks. Then I extruded and filleted the Stormtrooper and saved it as its own STL to be used in dual extrusion. Next, I designed a plate around the Stormtrooper, added holes for screws, and saved that as its own STL. Lastly, I designed a shell to go around the plate and Stormtrooper; 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 (link below) to print the Stormtrooper. 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.
