I also found out the Flash Forge also has a control panel to let me turn off the lights from it, which is pretty handy. Just change the color to black and they turn off. :)

If you're into editing a long G-code file, you probably could insert the G146 command randomly throughout the file to produce many effects. Maybe a different color depending on the direction of the axis movements? (aka Disco 3D printing....)
Also, printing in the same room you sleep? Talk about "white noise" :)
It's possible with enough gcode editing. I would be easier to just wire them to a controller like this one.

That would give you full control of the lights, patterns, color and strobing effects, etc
True, that could make thing's much easier :P
But I have been looking into the "Layer change G-code" editor in Simplify3D. I'm thinking there might be a way to set it up inside that. Set it to change a color at every layer change. Any idea's possibly? If I come up with something, I will come post it also.
