  Nice! I’d love to see pictures of it in green. I didn’t have green filament so I went with red. Will you use solid green or translucent?

  It might be worth trying both in order to see how the light shines through them, before glueing it on 👍

    Here they are, now I need to find glue.

    This is transparent tpu. Big is straight from file, small is 2mm.

      Nice! The reason why i did a color change is that dark fillament does not let as much light through, so the logo pops a lot more than if the whole badge is illuminated. Also I have set the infill to 40% just to hide it from showing like that.

      That said, I wanted to make one where the logo is countersunk into a solid top. That might be even nicer!

      Also maybe use some temporary glue, until you settle on something that works well. I’d be afraid that the one you made, might show the apple logo too much. It will simply just shine through it
