** Case
-Layered laser-cut wood or acrylic. The original case (=case-mk-i.svg=)
-is slightly less wide and has a minor asymmetry with the screws on the
-bottom side. The [[http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic%3D54759.msg1304117#msg1304117][mark II case]] (in the =case/dxf= directory) is
-available as a DFX file that you can convert to SVG or EPS for a laser
-cutter using Inkscape. Mark II features 8 screw holes and a kind of "stair
-step" design around the top and bottom of the key clusters; mark I is

-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.
+The original case (=case-mk-i.svg=) design is also included; it is
+slightly less wide and has a minor asymmetry with the screws on the
+bottom side.
On a 100W Epilog laser, the 3mm layers cut in about a minute and a
half. I did a run with 6mm acrylic of the other layers which took
