First time posting here, and my first major Glowforge project. Base is 3d printed, pedals are light guide acrylic with ws2812b LEDs. Will be making 8 of them to put on some glowing lilly pads for an art installation.
Here’s a video:

Wow! Awesome work on the engraving and the light patterns.
Thanks everyone! And @dan, thanks so much for making it all possible! The Glowforge is an awesome toy (in the badass tool sort of way).
Now, if I could just make my own proofgrade material preset stickers… since you don’t sell Light Guide Panel in the shop 
Well done. I’m thinking how great this design would look on a night time pool with battery powered pucks.

how did you bend the acrylic poles like that in the center? looks so cool. I want to make something like this to put on the ceiling of my kid’s play room!

The Acrylic panels have tabs on the bottom, held together by a 3d printed base: 
There’s an insert that goes inside the base to hold all the LED strips in place.
The pedals look like this:

Sorry it took so long, but here’s a few shots from the final install!
This is viewed from the bank, with three flowers for close viewing, and some in the water in the distance.
Here’s a video of the bank view of the install:
Here’s a video of a single lotus in the water:
And a photos of two of them in the water
Thanks again @dan and everyone else at Glowforge for the awesome machine, we couldn’t have done it without you!
