Do you know if there are any electroluminescent filaments and where to buy them?

Travel moves wouldn't work, because the wire core has to be continuous.

I think the best bet is to design a model with a cavity that the wire can snap into, and add the EL wire after the print is finished.

I don't think vase mode does travel moves, does it?

It mostly avoids them, but it doesn't necessarily do that on the first layer, and it does a big travel at the end to park the print head. You could probably get something to work if you wrote it with the FullControl Gcode Designer.
