This is a remix of the Alien & Alien Bust (multi-material) by cipis on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2668660.
I wanted to make a more stable, LED illuminated version of the alien bust.
I printed this with the 0.30 mm Speed stetting in PrusaSlicer. I recommend supports for the top of the eyes, but you can get by without it. I inserted 2 manual material changes to go from the glow-in-the-dark filament that make is “hover”, to silver for the UFO, to green for the alien head.
The fairy lights are from Target (https://www.target.com/p/14-56-39-x-14-56-39-40rgb-led-fairy-lights-with-remote-control-room-essentials-8482/-/A-81656282#lnk=sametab). You will have to remove the housing around the USB plug, remove the USB plug, and solder on a ~4 inch USB extension to get to the battery back. I used hot glue to secure the USB controller in the UFO base with the selector button and IR sensor for the remote sticking out of the UFO. Then I hot glued the LEDs around the channel in the base before routing them up through the hole to the head and arranged the remaining lights behind the eyes.
I have included the Fusion 360 file in case you want/need to modify the model.
