I made something similar before with our team's Makerbot 2 when I got bored after build season. First, I printed a white ring. Second, I started printing a frame of a red tetrahedron, paused the print halfway, slipped the white ring onto one of the 3 columns it was building, and let the print finish. Third, I started printing a frame of a blue cube, paused it halfway, and slipped the white ring on it (by this time the red tetrahedron is on the white ring). I ended up with a colored, interlocked, 3D FIRST logo.
I wish I have pictures, but graduating seniors took the two 3D logos I made. Now I want to make another one next time I have some free time at Robotics.

We learn about manufacturing and automation mostly. We have learned about control systems and did projects where we made freight elevators and line-follower vehicles using Vex EDR parts. We also learned about CNC milling and are now on a robotics unit. I'm assuming you don't know much about PLTW (Project Lead the Way). They offer many engineering related classes such as Digital Electronics, Computer Science and Software Engineering, Civil Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, ect.
