I thought it would be cool to take the basic Overwatch logo stand and hollow it out to insert LEDs! This was printed at 250% to fit on my rather large Folgertech FT-5 printer, making it 25cm wide and around 29cm tall.
The LEDs used were from Amazon, below, but any sort of LED would work.

I hollowed out the inside in the back so it would use less filament, AND so you can pretty much stick anything in there. The LEDs above come with glue on them so it was a snap to make it adhere to the plastic. Other LED sets might have more ascetically pleasing blink patterns or colors, so try anything you like.
Print Settings
Printer:
Fogertech FT-5
Supports:
Yes
Resolution:
.8mm nozzle, .4mm layers
Infill:
15%
Notes:
I used a large Volcano .8mm nozzle along with a .4mm layer height to reduce print time to 9 hours at the 250% size.
Any natural filament will work, although PETG seems to be the most clear. The PLA and ABS clear filament I tried all became opaque when printed, but the PETG remained nice and translucent.
The changes were done in the free Adobe Fusion 3D program. The design file is included in case you want to take a stab at it yourself.
