Open body enigma36

A new enigma36 by sadekbaroudi, this time an open body version.

The enigmala36 was featured in issue 27, but that one was a closed body version with underglow and a thumbstick.

This one is open body with per key LEDs.

Regarding the bottom plate, I recommend using the 5 mm plate if you are using the open-center model. The open center is not as structurally sound without the support of a thick plate. (sadekbaroudi)
