I have FPD files (Scheffer panel design format), and other notes on the
correct layout dimensions, but the measurements in the FPD files can get a
bit erratic because of the rounding errors in the conversion between
imperial and metric values. I have reviewed the values, and re-created the
file in native metric sizes, and am currently waiting for a new panel using
this design which will be used to validate the layout I want to have
manufactured for production P3s. When I get this panel back, and verify it
is as it should be, I'll post the FPD as the final version.
Anyone else is free to make their own case, but if I get 'official' cases
made for ready-built units, I'm also likely start shipping the case as part
of the kit, so an unofficial case may have only a limited market among
existing kit builders who don't yet have a case, or would like a more
professional one.

Or for having your ideas 'borrowed' ;-)

wood?

The wooden end-cheeks and L-brackets will be interchangeable - the main body
of the case will have a couple of threaded holes at each side, that can
either have the wood, or L-brackets attached.

If you have glow-in-the-dark key caps, a UV LED would be nice ;-)

Cheers,
