norns shield case

I designed this case because I didn't have the option to laser cut an acrylic front panel as requested for the original case provided by monome and (I think) designed by JHC.

I have taken inspiration from a lot of great other designs in the lines forum thread, especially: JHC as mentioned before for the bottom part and CarlosUnch for the buttons/encoders labeling.

Recipe to assemble the kit:
~ 1x norns shield
~ 1x bottom part
~ 1x top part
~ 2x spacer A (1,6mm M2,5)
~ 2x spacer B (2,9mm M2,5)
~ 8x screws M2,5 x 10mm
~ 4x female to female M2,5 hex standoff 15mm long
~ 4x male to female M2,5 hex standoff 10mm long
~ 4x rubber bumper feet Ø10mm (optional)
~ 1x acrylic/polycarbonate/glass 80x42x2mm thick (optional) - even 3mm thickess is fine if you don't mind the step behind the front panel

In the images, you can see instructions about where to place the standoffs correctly.
To glue the polycarbonate screen protector I used polyurethane FC40.
This design is suitable for buttons Ø8mm and knobs Ø14mm max.
