-TODO: the logo is missing from some of the case files and needs to be added back in.
+The =3mm.eps= file contains the top plate, bottom plate, and switch
+plate. These can all be cut on 3mm acrylic or wood. The =spacer.eps=
+file should be cut on something thicker; between 4.5mm and 6mm is
+recommended. The spacer needs to be at least as thick as the connector
+of the USB cable you're using.
 
 There is also a programmatically-implemented version of the case
 written in OpenSCAD; it is more flexible (you can tweak the number of
 rows/cols, etc and recompile) but it doesn't match the canonical case
 exactly; in particular the screw holes are placed differently.

-The first two shapes in the case file are the top and bottom covers;
-these should be cut on 3mm acrylic (black in the photo). The third is
-the spacer that goes under the fourth, which is the plate on which the
-switches are mounted. These should be cut in 6mm, especially the
-spacer, which needs to be at least as thick as the mini USB cable you
-connect to the microcontroller. I recommend using a mini USB cable
-with as thin a connector as you can find or sanding the connector
-down to the required thickness. The switch plate could be thinner, but
-not under 3mm.
