Heavily inspired by the original Alice design by yuktsi of TGR, the case, wrist rest and packaging (carrying case foam) design files for h40's Amano, an Alice layout keyboard, have been published.
The Amano project is open source and I believe the builder community you are maintaining would appreciate it – h40.
The top mount Alice-style case (with a weight) is compatible with the Mechlovin Adelais Rev. 4 Alice PCB.
