Kastenwagen case

Story

Nopunin10did did a small GB for his awesome layout and I bought one. It was again a Sandwich-FR4-case and I wanted to improve that, since I really liked using the layout.

The LEDs on the PCB (showing the current layer) are pretty far away from the top of the case. After some research I settled on cheap plastic light guides to insert into the case and guide the light up to the top. They work very well and its nicely bright.

Later Elia asked nopunin10did to do an ISO-version of the PCB, because he loves everything ISO-Enter, rightfully so. I adapted the case to be compatible with it. No pictures of this yet.
